Don't go putting people down for their beliefs and telling them that they are intrepreting them wrong, and you interpret them right. Nothing, especially in Buddhism or Taoism, is so simple as one person's egocentric view.
First: I didn't put anyone down.
Second: You are incorrect. I'm not making any claims about buddhism, so I don't know what a buddhist would claim. You need to reread the Tao Te Ching.
Third: You are also incorrect about the simplicity of the Tao.
