If there's one thing that irks me is rich people that find every excuse to avoid paying higher taxes. They shouldn't have a problem paying higher taxes, they are rich; they can afford it. It's the poor/working class & middle class that are struggling to make ends meet so they should get the bulk of these tax cuts. Let's be real, how can you pay higher taxes and you're on a fixed income? That doesn't make sense. It kills me that super-wealthy people find every excuse to avoid paying higher taxes. I think it's sad that the 1% of America controls the majority of dealings in life, from business to life. I find it sad that favoritism exists. Just because you're in the upper echleon of American society doesn't mean you get to call the shots. Even in the criminal justice system, a wealthy person can do the most heinous crime and they get off scot free because they can afford the best legal protection. If a middle or working class person did the very same crime, they would be thrown under the bus. In some strange way, seeing the rich get special treatment has inspired me in a way to improve my financial status through graduate education, entrepreneurship or other means because the more money you have, the more opportunities/services you have at your disposal. Unlike most people, when I reach the level of success I want, I'm going to use my influence to help those less fortunate come up. Being able to make a difference in someone's life through your influence is something that will stick with you for a while.
