For ex, members of Congress have strict restrictions that most of the public don’t have. 1 case: bc of our jobs we *have* to have 2 residences & pay for it out of pocket. BUT we‘re banned from writing it off as a work expense. Boo hoo, right? Well, that incentivizes loopholes. — PolitiTweet.org

Keeping it real, the 🐘 in the room w/ passing a lobbying ban on members requires a nearly-impossible discussion about Congressional pay. It is understandably unpopular to discuss giving Congress any raises or perks - & bc of that, there’s incentive to keep $ loopholes open. /2 — PolitiTweet.org

There are plenty of examples. Another big one is spousal loopholes. They’re tough discussions & politically unpopular. It’s one under-discussed side to cracking the nut of money in politics. Multi-millionaires can also weaponize these convos to their advantage, for cuts. — PolitiTweet.org
