The responsibility of rigging taxes lies solely on legislators, who corruptly hand out breaks to favored entities for personal reasons or in exchange for contributions. It's no accident that the tax code is thousands of pages long, and that the wealthy and elites can use breaks that the common people can't. Don't get mad at Ballmer (or GE, which has paid zero net taxes), get mad at Congress, state-level legislators and the IRS for making and enforcing the Byzantine sets of rules and regs they have created. The solution is to abolish the income tax altogether and replace it with a retail sales tax, and only a retail sales tax, which the rich and the poor alike would equally pay. (Noting that the poor can receive transfer payments to lessen their tax burden, if required.)

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