Tax system has been broken for ever. The rich use loops holes to hide the money from taxation. The middle class  can't hide their money so we get whacked by it. Yea I make 70 a year and fall in a tax bracket the same tax bracket as someone who made 400k.  If we stopped letting them hide money and just did precentages. All income should be taxed at a percentage. House hold income under 250k you pay 10 precent over 250k you pay 15 percent on every dollar. Do it that way we wouldn't even need to file taxes each year just take it from the checks. Nice and simple. Only 1099 employees would need to file.
