    The Emperor could easily close those tax loopholes if he wanted to, but that might hurt his rich friends.

    The Death Star was a huge waste, and the military knew it. You could tell by how Grand Admiral Thrawn dodged the question when a reporter asked him about it, and then had the reporter imprisoned. He knew full well those credits could have paid for at least 2 full Imperial Battle Fleets.
