I agree with the middle class but in a survey a few months ago (I have to find it) and overwhelming majority of CEO's and people with a 200M or more net worth think the tax system is a joke. One of them commented that despite spending 3 or 4 mill that year they paid $18,000 in income tax.

Warren Buffet. Bill Gates, Donald Trump and a few other have been vocal about how unfair the tax code is.

A person would think that a billionaire uses less Gov services than Joe blow while its the opposite. The courts protect their companies, the FBI protects their products, so on and so forth.
