CMV: Congress is responsible for billionaires not paying taxes in the USA, not billionaires.

I see a lot if complaints on Reddit about really wealthy people not paying taxes or paying a disproportionately small amount. I then see politicians in the Federal government making a big fuss about how wrong this is. Yet, it is Congress that sets the tax laws for the IRS. Instead of making laws to enforce taxation they continuously pass laws creating loop-holes and deductions that are available only to those wealthy enough to hire a team of lawyers and tax planners. 

Of course, the billionaires influence Congress to create these "incentives", but in the end Congress allows it and accepts the various means of bribery used to sway their vote. Most of these very rich people are within the law and I don't think it's fair to blame them for following the tax law that allows them all these means of hiding profits. I'd guess we all do the same on our personal taxes, just on a smaller scale. 

Change my view by convincing me that Congress doesn't have the ability to shun rich outside influences and create a more fair tax code.

Billionaires bought off the politicians to avoid paying taxes and you blame the politicians bought off and ignore the billionaires who did the bribing? It takes two to tango.

That's why getting money out of politics in the US is so important.
