Hiblephil.  You clearly believe that politics is corrupt, or at least subject to unfair influence - right?   

So why would it surprise you to find that very wealthy interest, talking to very wealthy men and women in congress, wouldn't be able to influence legislation, to their favor, found in tax laws?     

It's not partisan, I'm not a Democrat, it's just a realistic look at what happens politically in Congress.   Money equal power, equals access to high places.   

Who's sitting in the political Chair doesn't make much difference to those seeking favors.   The party doesn't matter, it's who has the power to the job done.  

*I can think Trump is the lesser choice without being a Democrat.
