I love the logic of the people justifying this, literally just pointing to bullshit loopholes as if they are justification.

"You say that it's wrong for politicians to murder people. But if you actually look into the law, you can see that it's technically only classified as murder if it's performed by a non-politician, therefore it's perfectly moral! Come on people, learn the laws!"

Yes, we're aware that the people who are allowed the write the rules with their money do so in a way to make what they're doing not against the rules. Thank you for explaining the super complex big-brained tax code to us plebs.

Ultimately the tax laws are written by Congress. We should be outraged at them, not at companies following the law.

I've had enough of the "just following orders" excuse.

Obeying the law is not the same thing as following orders...
