All the corporate lobbying scandals are about hiring somebody to bribe congress to make a special law that says everybody pays a tax but you. It's even legal in many cases. My guess is that Congress is so corrupt that its price will continually drop as it seeks to attract business from as many lobbyists as possible. Eventually everybody will have special tax status except those of us too dim to figure out the game. And we'll get stuck with the alternative maximum tab.
