just controlled by many Big Businesses like Oil and Tobacco companies, etc. Recent laws are being made in favor of the corps and not the people. The people get shafted when Big Business takes control of the government by buy^h^h^hrenting politicians to pass laws in their favor.

Long ago they made a marriage pentaly in the tax code so that married couples got less back on their income taxes. You can't really benefit from the tax code unless you have a lot of money and can put it into tax shelters or higher high priced lawyers and accountants to find ways to get tax shelters or hide money from the IRS. The averaged married couple gets hit hard with US tax codes.
