And people who start with nothing have a pretty sweet deal on taxes too... they get **negative taxes**... That is not only do they not pay taxes, they get free money, free healthcare.... Sounds pretty fair to me, from a tax perspective.
You are of course right there is an unfairness in the world that is unrelated to taxes that make it so some people cant get a good start in life.. This is an open problem that needs fixing, but you have given no indication that this problem is at the fault of the tax system in the USA or any other country for that matter.
>”Those cuts, however, are availible to everyone and usually (with a few exceptions) rather fair.”
Yes, workers choose not to take those tax breaks. Just the other day I was in Walmart and I asked the cashier if she was going to take the Stranded Well Development Credit on her assets located on federally leased land. She said she was choosing not to because all of her energy assets are structured under a holding company that just took some huge write-offs due to some recent acquisitions, so she was pushing the well credits to future quarters.
You see? Workers choose not to take those tax breaks.
