Tax Breaks in the Tax Code
shmokes:
Excellent interactive infographic on tax breaks in our tax code
My first instinct was to post this in Politics n Religion. But then hardly anyone would see it. And that would just be a shame because there's nothing overtly political about these facts, but they're super interesting. And I doubt there's anywhere in the world where this information can be had so easily and comprehensibly. This is 100% policy, not politics. If you're inclined to discuss this information and how it bears on the election or relates to the political parties, go talk about it in PnR.

I don't see much there to discuss. It seems obvious that changes in tax law are used by both parties to either encourage or discourage certain behaviors. There will always be people who think every change is either fair or unfair, depending on how it affects them personally.
It's important for everyone paying taxes to understand which breaks they can use to lower their bill. The IRS even encourages "tax avoidance".

Maybe I'm being overly pedantic since I work as a tax accountant, but tax loopholes and tax breaks aren't the same thing.

Now that's politics. Always has been. But it's really based in social behavior. It's biological.
