A Tax System Raned Against The 99 Descent Summary

Citizens who are in the middle class do not have a sustainable salary and yet have responsibilities to take charge of. Those individuals have to speak up about their unfair accountabilities. Right now, America is going through difficulties, more specifically injustice. Along with that, people are being treated unfairly and not taken into consideration. Our tax system has grown and not in an equal way. Citizens should be able to vote for a representative to face those issues.
