"My definition of loophole is when people find quitksnin the law that allows them to lower tax liabilities in a way that was not intended by the law. This was intentional and seeks to stimulate entrepreneurs. Calling it a loophole is an attempt to demonize and stir class warfare. I hate income taxes because it documents people’s income. That is the first step to starting class envy." ---------------------------

Yes, this was intentional to reward the S-Corp shareholders who invest their savings in new businesses which hire employees and grows the economy. This is a reward to the shareholders who are limited on the corporate level from taking certain deductions which the Sch C business owners can deduct currently.
