Mansur Olson on collective action. You should look this up. M-A-N-C-U-R. I think it's O-L-S-O-N. He has this theory on collective action that when you get an issue where there's a concentrated interest between a group, a small group of people, but rather diffuse cost to everyone else, the small group of people can do amazing things.

No one else in the general public is following this tax benefit.
