Raise revenue fairly with the tax code. No loopholes for behavior.

Then, if you want to modify the behavior of your citizens, then pass subsidies. Have a debate in Congress about each subsidy. Don't hid bullshit tax breaks for the rich in the millions of pages of the tax code.

Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good.
