The word "loophole" carries with it quite a negative connotation. Use more honest language.

Which credits or deductions (correct language, see?) would you do away with?
I am no tax expert. I am fairly ingnorant in the field. I do know an owner of a fairly large company and he cheats the tax system like you wouldn't believe. I have no doubts that the larger companies do it as well. I'm not suggesting taxing them out of business... but come on. Zero taxes?

BTW - I have zero bias towards big oil, pharma, or whatever. Make em all pay.
