It's really only the super-big corps that get their very own tax laws passed and they work the process for years, not months. Still, it's legal, and if we want to change that, it starts on the Hill. People who think the President has any near-term impact on the minutiae of the tax code are mistaken, IMHO.
Undue influence, yes. Oligarchy? No.
Russia is a far better example of that.
