Much easier to get that sweet bribe money from the company controlling the entire market for favors, than having to hustle 10 different ones.

It's sadly why our tax code is riddled with deductions, subsidies for various well connected businesses.

Many people want a flat tax rate system with no deduction, no subsidies, etc., But congress wouldn't be able to solicit bribes under that method. Well, not as easy anyway.
