1. This is disgusting on so many levels

Romney and even many on our side say that we are essentially broke at the federal level and must make drastic cuts. We clearly are not broke. While closing the various loopholes like this may not make up for all of the budget, at least it would reduce the cuts that may be needed. Any cuts in pay and programs to the poor and middle class during fragile times like these is devastating. Before we discuss cuts we should first be discussing why and how the richest among us continue to build their wealth as the vast majority withers.
