Weighted

The tax code is weighted toward the ultra-wealthy and ultra-wealthy corporations, and has created an offshore aristocracy of people who can afford to hire an army of accountants and lawyers.  This shifts the tax burden to small businesses, entrepreneurs, and others.  I don't want to see taxes go up on any hardworking American.  We need a simpler, fairer tax code.
