Income tax laws should apply to all levels of society equally. Corporations
and wealthy citizens who often have access to skilled lawyers should not pay
proportionately less income tax than other members of society. A system that
allows the wealthy and the corporate to profit from loopholes is inherently unfair.
Several categories of citizens are less able to pay taxes. Those citizens who
are middle class often pay more than their fair share simply because they do not
enjoy this easy access to legal counsel. Also, people who work full-time but earn
very little, people with disabilities, and people with large families should receive
some sort of tax break. Some argue that the current tax structure is quite fair.
