Why is crypto even part of an infrastructure bill? If you want to pay for the bridges and stuff just fix all the corporate tax loopholes that add up to more money anyway.


These loopholes have been around for decades with little interest from either side of the political spectrum to address them. They're clearly beneficial. Hence, it's much easier to just drain retail investors who have been very creative at generating wealth and finding investment opportunities lately. I'd say more so than Wall St.


I may be incorrect, but I think there's a section that updates parts of the tax code to pay for it. I think the crypto language got slipped in there.


Why would fixing corporate tax loopholes be part of infrastructure? Seems as arbitrary as taxing crypto. They should really do both.
