As an analogy, let's say that I market a software product that includes
programs written by two other people, and I agree to give a 10% royalty
(that's 10% of my income from product sales) to each of the two.

Would it be fair to give 10% to the first person, then only 9% (10% of
the remainder) to the second?  Of course not.

Instead of lobbying our congresscritters to add deductions such as
this, we should be working to get rid of the deductions still in the
package.
