@Ibby: There's no doubt the tax system is broken. Small businesses are paying way too much in taxes, while the big corporations have tax attorneys and C.P.A's to advise them of every latest tax avoiding statute, and how to maximize their deductions in every way.
So a company like G.E. for instance, pays nothing, despite millions in what would be taxable income, for less astute tax advisers and planners.
The problem is, the politicians need $$$ for their campaigns, so they pay close attention to pander to those lobbyists that are well funded - and then consistently promote and vote for, tax bills that favor those lobbyists - and those bills don't usually "sunset" - they go on and on, year after year.
