No, I don't. The loopholes were specifically created to incentivize certain businesses—often (always?) as payback by politicians.

No, what you should mean is "sometimes a few might be" which is very different from "specificly, often(always)".

I think that a fair tax system eliminates the need for incentives.

In an alternate reality maybe, but it has never happened anywhere throughout history.

If, for example, "green" energy is viable, then it does not need to be incentivized. It should sink or swim on its economic merits, not based on government subsidy by " tax incentives."

Oh dear, there we see the problem, you believe in the myth of free markets, I hate to burst your bubble but that ideology is only a fairytale.

A couple known examples of "abuse" I can easily remember are for import duties.

What on earth has that got to do with corporation tax?
So you want uniform import tarrifs

Another is toys. TOys have no duty. Bedding does.

So now its uniform duty not corporation tax.
So lets get this straight, you want uniform income tax across the board with no write offs or allowances. You want uniform corporation tax with no write offs, delays or subsidies. You want uniform import tarrifs on all goods and materials. You want the same duty on everything so a bottle of whisky has the same duty as a bottle of childrens cough syrup.
You sound like a cambodian communist economist who thinks all things and everyone are absolutely equal.
