America used to be set apart by our rule of law, free press and excellent FREE education system. The rich & powerful could be brought down for doing wrong....and the factory worker's child could become a doctor.
Contrast this with what goes on in other countries...where favoritism, paying off govt officials, and the Golden Rule (the one who has the gold, makes the rules)...is a common way of doing business. In many countries, a poor factory or farm worker has zero chance to improve their life, and their children are guaranteed the same fate. But rich families can always buy access and favoritism. If you accuse a powerful businessman of raping your daughter, the police will break your legs if you make noise about it.
So on top of taxes, I think there are other issues too. Will we have good liberal judges who will listen to the plight of the poor man who was wronged by the wealthy corporation? Will the factory worker's child be able to get a good education..or will they have to get a mcjob to help out the family instead?
It's clear that conservatives plan to change to entire landscape - not just the tax issue...but everything! Govt will favor the wealthy...the poor will be without a voice....and the middle class will gradually decline into poverty.
