While I think that's part of it, I think it ultimately causes more loopholes. I really struggle when it's time to do my taxes because I can't understand all the little intricacies that were added to give people exceptions. Yet the same complexities allows people with a disproportionately larger income to have dedicated resources getting out of paying taxes. I'm against the use of so many tax incentives to manipulate behaviour. If you think it's really worth losing tax revenue over, use the money to prove the benefit and let people make their own decisions. Don't introduce a loophole at the request of those who benefit from it.
