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.
I saw Warren Buffet on tv the other night and he actually lobbying Congress about changing the unfair tax laws. He did a study with his employees and the ones who volunteered their tax info where paying upwards of 33% while he is only paying to 17%.and the man was not happy.
