You seem to think that if something is legal it's therefore moral? Do you think slavery was moral before it was made illegal? Or lots of other (obviously immoral) things that used to be legal?
‘Loophole’ is such great branding. Loopholes don’t exist - there are only ‘laws.’ Flawed laws are rebranded as loopholes. Similar to pharma’s invention of ‘side effects.’ There‘s no such thing as a side effect - there are only effects. Bad effects are rebranded as side effects.

That’s an unfair leap, and I’m surprised you made it. Not everything that is immoral is illegal, and not everything that is illegal is immoral. What I’m saying is that when it comes to taxes, I struggle to clearly define “moral” in a way other than “legal.”

There’s no such thing as “red,” there are only light waves within the frequency interval ~430–480 THz, which have been rebranded as “red”

All laws are flawed because there is too much gray area in the world. Loopholes are when people violate what is called the spirit of the law.

No, they are called “side effects” because the main positive effect outweighs the other potentially negative effects.

Main positive effect = Desired effects... But yes, you're basically correct.

Okay so members of Congress are not competent enough to write effective tax laws. - I found the root cause.

You will find a lot of disagreement over what an “effective” tax law is.
