Actually, I think a lot of loopholes are just legacy holdovers from businesses/industries that, at the time, needed and had justifiable reason for a carve out.
The tax code is just the perfect summary of everything that is wrong with Washington....namely that they almost never repeal or replace laws - I have to agree with John Boehner that we need to start judging Congress based on how many laws they erase.
I'm thinking maybe we need to pass a rule that every law needs 60 votes every 10 years in order to remain a law.
