True. But there always remains a opposite reaction as well. The weathly pay the largest amount of the taxes that benefit us all at this time. I prefer a flat/simplified tax rate on all folks-then government knows exactly what they have to work with, and we know exacty what we owe. Corporate is a tricky one too-tax too much and it has a negative impact on jobs. 

The National Debt is the biggest driver behind much of this, including the costs of goods, and consumer costs as well.
