If people don't like the legal loopholes they should be for Trump's plan to simplify the tax system.
Trump's plan may involve simplification, by reducing the tax brackets into four from our current seven; but it also reduces corporate taxes so that corporations pay no more than 15%, full stop; which would easily give incentive for the very wealthy to simply to work the system to pay only the 15% corporate tax rather than the 25% income tax (
http://www.cbpp.org/research/federa...udes-major-tax-break-for-wealthiest-taxpayers). And then there's the fact that Trump's tax plan would completely eliminate the estate tax.
Trump's plan might, at first glance, seem to be nice because it does cut taxes for the lower and middle classes (thought not a whole lot more than the current system), where Trump's plan really benefits is for the very wealthy who will see the largest cuts and means toward tax avoidance. The low corporate tax rate does not primarily benefit small mom and pop business, but larger business and corporations; etc.
Trump's system may be "simpler" but simpler doesn't mean better. Trump's plan would absolutely benefit Trump, and it would absolutely benefit the country's wealthiest, it would only marginally help lower income families--and all in all it would be incredibly damaging to federal revenue--and simply eliminating certain programs or institutions would have a negligible, almost none, effect on this. And therefore the people to be most hurt are going to be veterans, the disabled, the very poor, and others who depend on benefits from the government in order to simply
exist.
So, no. If I care about legal loopholes I shouldn't vote for Trump or support Trump's tax plan because Trump's tax plan would, fundamentally, benefit only the excessively wealthy and would, in the long term, hurt the most vulnerable members of our society.
