&quot;that entity didn&#x27;t think of every imaginable and unimaginable way one could circumvent a law&quot;<p>That is factually untrue of the loopholes exploited.  Many of these loopholes were put in place explicitly to benefit the cronyists.  Others have been in place for some time, but the lawmakers and the IRS don&#x27;t want to fix them.  Government has the power.  They write the laws.  They even make the rules regarding legal lobbying.<p>Blaming the corporations that legally lobby and follow the tax laws is like blaming a child who acts like a brat because his parents are crappy parents.  You blame the rule makers and those in power a great deal more than you blame those who are just following the rules.
