I myself have no issue with folks taking advantage of tax breaks. They’re in the law, there’s no “overlooked lawbreaking” going on.

The issue I have with tax breaks is that they amount to a kind of coercive social microengineering (i.e. enforced at government gunpoint) which first, aren’t the business for a government of a free people to even attempt to do, and second, which are usually to the benefit of elites and cronies, at the expense of the rest of us. Suppose there’s a giant tax break for owning sports teams. Are you or I ever going to own a sports team? No, so such a break is exclusively for the benefit of multimillionaires and billionaires. And they don’t need the help of government, by which I mean, it is not ethical for government to help those people at the expense of people like us.

In other words, your post presumes that the law is ethical, moral and just. It isn’t.
