<<The tax laws are written for the rich>> ROFLMAO!! Pure hutzpah, even for a slime-bag liberal!! All the taxes are PAID by the rich. "Rich and dumb" may apply to a selected group of rich liberals: Hollywood, congenital gays, and stone-headed former grad students. But it doesn't apply across the board...

I noticed that you could NOT provide an example. That said, I agree the tax code is WAY to complicated, and we should go to a flat tax. The dems will never, never let it happen. They are addicted to other people's money, and they like complicated laws (it keeps them in business). I am not a corporate tax expert, but I am relatively sure there are loopholes for businesses. There are none to speak of for personal income though (besides mortgage deductions and other taxes). Many spread the bs that there are, and they are only deluding themselves. You show me a guy or gal that makes $1,000,000 per year, and I will show you a large tax bill (if they let me look). If they do not have one, they are most likely breaking the law.
