Once you get into counting all forms of tax "forgiveness", loopholes, write-offs, you approach Obama's Orwellian phrase, where any money not collected in taxes is called a "tax expenditure" - a turn of phrase which reveals Obama's attitude that ALL our money belongs to the government, they just graciously allow us to keep some of it. I didn't realize that you sympathized with this attitude.

Once you start playing that game, you can call the whole GDP less tax revenues a tax giveaway to <fill in the blank>.
