Re: "I agree , our elected officials put those loop holes in place. They were tax incentives when they put them in the code. But they act like someone else did it. Someone bad and evil put those provisions in but were the good guys and we're going to take them out. It's so hypocritical."

Yep!

That's one of the main problems with politics today... it's mostly run like a casino (with rigged slots), designed to pay-out to 'special interests', and without a care for the overall public good.

(And, those well-heeled 'special interests' most likely get a very good value for all the money they plow into politicians' campaigns, or else they wouldn't do it. Probably only paying a few pennies for every hundreds of dollars in return to them with special loopholes and special breaks and slush.)

The average joe is treated like a chump... (or like a mushroom - kept in the dark and fed a steady diet of shit.)
