I do agree, though that loopholes expose a potential flaw in how laws with so-called loopholes are drawn up.  The issue is with the law itself.  Though, again... jealous and/or envious people falsely assume opposite, that it is a people and not a law issue.  Again, nothing unethical or unlawful at all.

One such loophole that quickly comes to mind is that of IRA conversion.  The loophole should be fixed so that those saving for retirement should not have to convert IRAs to Roth.  They should be allowed to do it without having to convert.  https://www.investors.com/etfs-and-funds...-loophole/

If you set up a corporation that doesn't buy or sell any goods or services, and only ever buys and sells shares from you, to help disguise your income as capital gains, that may be legal but it's highly unethical. States give charter to corporations so they can be a tool to ease commerce, not reduce individual taxes.
If you claim to run a charity that doesn't do any actually charity work, or mainly engages in politics, that is also unethical.
