Every single one of those loopholes was intentionally put there, so someone could use it. The tax system is complex, but it is well understood by those who know how to use it. It's not like the benefits the rich get from all these loopholes were unintended consequences of tax law designed to help the majority. (Pedantic Detail: The highway system, the internet, Hoover Dam, the F16, and Betsy DeVos' entire budget, were all paid for with tax money. The problem is that the loopholes designed into the system allow some people to get off without paying their fare share, putting an inordinate burden on those who will benefit the least from those paid-for-with-taxes projects.)
