This is the problem with a complex and byzantine tax code: entities that can manage and manipulate the complexity profit by it. Entities that don't have those kinds of resources are stuck. It would be good if folks from all political walks of life could come together for some kind of tax simplification. I highly doubt this will ever happen, though, as tax law is used as just another club by big businesses to beat down the small. They have the money, and they're willing to pay-off the political class to make various arguments about how simplifying things would be bad for the little guys. That's not changing. (This has nothing to do with current politics, by the way. I am not following the U.S. tax discussion and it's not relevant to my point. My point is that whether it's business, tech, or government, complexity itself is an enemy)
