I think that many of the very rich are the beneficiaries of much more than just tax loopholes. I believe that huge amounts of taxpayer dollars are funneled in to their companies which is what made them rich in the first place.
How many government workers use Windows? And who paid for that? YOU, the taxpayer. And who profited from that? Bill Gates. And that is just a small fraction of the money that went from your pocket into his via the Congress, the IRS, and lots of cronyism.
There is no such thing as a tax LOOPHOLE! There are only laws and those that know how to use them to their advantage. Don’t like the results, fix the law. This is what Trump should be saying about his taxes.
Sorry, I’m tax guy and that just had to be said. whew. :)
