I used the term liberal on purpose. Most Democrats are centrists or moderate conservatives. Most liberals, which means folks like Sanders, Kucinich, Wiener, etc. are fighting tooth and nail against loopholes, particularly corporate tax loopholes. As a more obvious example, I'm a liberal and I'm against tax loopholes. I suspect the other American liberals on TFP would agree with me on this, particularly in the wake of finding out about GE.
Many of the most damaging loopholes are the direct result of crony capitalism, which is a conservative phenomenon whether you like it or not.
