Loading margin and adjustment

I've created a series of CSS classes to easily manipulate the margins and padding of various elements. I've also used media queries to create responsive classes that only apply at certain screen widths. Everything seems to work as it should, but as you can see, my lesser writing skills are sorely needed and the code is huge!

I know that much less code can be used to output the required CSS, but all my attempts to write a custom mixin and loops have been short.

Is it possible to reduce this block of code to something small slicker? Any help would be appreciated.

Hooray!

Many thanks to Bas Issens for doing most of the work! For those of you who might be interested, here is the final version I'm currently using:
