Here are the big-time welfare programs for the rich, as of 2013:

1) Carried interest loophole. Cost: roughly $12 billion, probably all of it going to the top 1 percent.

2) Low rates on capital gains and dividends. 1 percenter benefit: $66 billion.

3) Exclusion of employer-sponsored retirement. 1 percenter benefit: $13 billion.

4) Mortgage interest deduction. 1 percenter benefit: $11 billion.

5) Charitable contribution deduction. 1 percenter benefit: $18 billion.

6) Deduction of state and local taxes. 1 percenter benefit: $14 billion.

Just those six programs account for about $133 billion in government benefits, just for the 1 percent.
