Wonder if the term 'looters' encompasses big business Crony Capitalists benefiting from special tax loopholes inserted in the codes for their particular favor

Certainly crony capitalists who get direct subsidies (including refundable tax credits) could reasonably be called looters...

I agree.

But I get the feeling (from the folks around here tossing that term around) that all it REALLY means TO THEM is "anyone who doesn't agree with whatever they agree with".

Most definitely they aren't interested in hearing about any 'looting' that they may personally be implicated in. :-)
