I'm not 'crying' about it in any sense different than someone 'crying' about poor people having access to food stamps. Just as I do not seek to protect lazy non-producers who abuse the system by fraud at the low end, you ought not to be trying so hard to protect the lazy non-producers who exploit the system via loopholes at the high end. They are both part of the problem.
