[quote zero]As a Senator, McCain himself wrote a Presidential election campaign loophole, whereby Presidential candidates can use "private corporate jets" without any penalty.
He is taking advantage of a tax loophole, and campaign contribution loophole he exclusively created for HIMSELF.
It only benefits him, his wife, and costs other republican and democratic nominees, and the everyday taxpayer.
I've yet to see a Senator pass any legislation alone. It takes more than one person to put something through, so to say he made the rule HIMSELF is ridiculous.
He's not the only one who can benefit from this either. There were other candidates who owned or operated business with private jets.
How does it cost the other candidates and taxpayers money? The jet is owned by a family member and he is still paying first class rates to use it. As best as I can tell he is not asking for handouts to pay for it.
