Besides, think of what you're saying.
People aren't avoiding paying taxes because of deductions, they are paying the taxes they owe according to the law.
Saying that the government is missing out on that revenue is no different than saying that the government is missing out on the 70% of the income that they don't take from the average Joe becasue the tax rate is only 30%.

I'm not saying they are doing it illegally. I'm saying there are billions being lost in revenue because wealthy people/companies are exploiting loopholes they setup to help benefit themselves.
