Interestingly enough, I think the main point was to discuss how tax breaks are meant to behave... not how they are abused.
Being upset about someone abusing the tax system is completely and totally justified... But this tax cut in question is intended to return money to those who actually legitimately pay their fair amount - not the other people. This tax cut is created assuming that nobody 'cheats'... and it's a damn good thing too. A tax system derived from the concept of everyone cheating would have enormous rates, and everyone of those who were being honest would end up devastated, while the cheaters would end up fine.
So what are we to do?
Give out tax cuts to the entireity of these people - that benefits the cheaters in question.
Raise the rates on society's rich folk - that simply punishes those who are honest, not a good scheme.
Police the system more and redesign it with the intent of removing loopholes - There we go!
I am extremely pro-rich. I can't think of any real reason why someone wouldn't be pro-rich. What could be better than having a lot of spending cash to blow on stuff you want, and provide for your family after you're gone? Everyone who has a lot of money today has it for a reason. What I am not, is pro-theft.
Either...
They earned it, (in which case they deserve it - even if it's in some CEO job where they don't do anything, it's still a job opening with a demand for workers, it's just luckier than other jobs)
They inherited it, (In which case they deserve it - I don't see why wealthy people can't give their cash away to, say, a stupid slut of a daughter. It's their cash, they can give it to whomever they damn well please... consider it luck again. I know if I had a ton of cash I'd want my family to have it if I died)
Or, they stole it. (Not legitimate, should be returned)
