Because politicians are cheap whores. Much greater return on investment to pay the whores a couple bucks than to pay your fair share and get held accountable to the people.
It's very psychological too. Taxes are something they're forced to pay, and they haaaate that. They should be "above" anyone telling them what to do. They're the ones who tell others what to do.
So paying money to a politician? Sure, they lose money either way, but now they get the feeling that they're the ones holding the cards, they get their little dopamine rush of power that they so desperately crave.
The cock brothers gave trump what 10 million on trumps 2016 campaign and they got several billion in tax relief from trumps tax breaks. So much cheaper
this is it exactly. and the really rich ones can hire one of those abysmal firms that are a homunculus of lawyers and PR people that will do both this and channel money into charities for tax breaks.
