closing obvious corporate tax loopholes

I'm all in favor of a Ronald Reagan style tax simplification which would make taxes less of a separate industry for accountants.

As for Buffet, if he really pays less tax than his secretary, it must be due to activity by him that reduces his taxes - activity which legislation was passed to encourage. I don't like that sort of thing - would like tax simplification - but if Congress wants to encourage certain behavior with the tax code, then people can not be blamed for doing the behavior that the legislation encourages.

Unions will work with politicians

I don't believe that. Government employee unions do not exist for the public good. They exist to better their members.
