4. The tax SYSTEM is corrupt.

You can't fault people for using an army of accountants to wring the best tax breaks out of that system.

Yeah, it's unfair the little guys can't afford the army of accountants. No argument, in fact I'll cheer that very line if discussion. But that's the point. The system is so corrupt the people who can hire the army of accountants use them to increase their profitability and hence to gain an unfair competitive advantage but also use the army to further complicate the system to hit the smaller guys both left and right.

The system has to be simplified so the little guys can play too without having to hire an army of accountants and lawyers. Only then can they compete against the mega-corps and bring up wages while driving down consumer prices. Anything that further complicates the system is only further war against the little guys.
