It seems like the tax system is set up for the benefit of the poor and the extremely wealthy (those that have the ability to avoid taxes through massive tax loopholes and corruption). I don't think that's really a secret.
The folks that get hurt the most are the upper-middle class folks that are right on the edge of the highest tax bracket and especially the folks in the 2nd highest tax bracket. Those are the folks that fund our government and social welfare programs though.
I wonder what percentage of their income folks like Bill Gates actually gave to the IRS in the form of a check? My guess is that it's not very significant (for them) if anything at all.
