secularist10 (author) from New York City on March 11, 2013: Some good points, Sanxuary. I don't think it's as totally bad as you indicate, but there are indeed massive inconsistencies and inefficiencies in the tax system that favor the wealthy, whether by design or not. Corporate taxes are especially unjust, because the top 1% of corporations in America make the overwhelming vast majority of all revenue and profits (it's even more skewed than for personal income), and yet they typically pay a much lower tax rate--either through the official tax rate or the combined effect of loopholes, subsidies, etc--than medium and small businesses. Sanxuary on March 10, 2013: Lets see, for the last 9 years the wealthy have paid about the same as the lowest paid people in America. The Corporate Tax is 35 percent and you have to look really hard to find a Corporation exceeding 15 percent over the last 20 years. The majority have paid less then 10 percent and some had years the Government paid them. All this tax free corporate profits, going to some wealthy person paying a low tax rate. Yet they are still so greedy that they send it to off shore bank accounts to escape taxes.
