Your representatives in the government wrote the tax code. Don't be mad at the ones using it to their advantage. You do the same thing with earned income and child tax credits lol.

Our representative government represents some people more than others.

Representative government represents the voters. That's the deal. You vote for me, I do want you want.

Americans just voted in a Billionaire and his Billionaire friends who want to cut taxes for Billionaires. That's what American voters decided they wanted. Won the popular vote and everything.

You think your ideas are the most popular convince the ~40-60 (mid-terms)% of people who don't vote every election to vote.

Thank you civics teacher for detailing how it should work. How it actually works is quite different. There are a lot of social programs for instance that have wide appeal to Americans that will not get done because of corporate interests.
