If there was ever any doubt how privileged the super rich in America are it's been erased with a leak from the IRS showing people like Jeff Bezos, and Bill Gates, don't pay taxes like you and I do.
While the IRS is busy looking for the perp who blew the whistle on the super-rich's taxes, nothing is going to come from revealing what people already knew.
If you're rich enough to belong to the wealthy stratosphere of Americans that don't get taxed the last thing you want to hear about is tax reform.
But is that even possible? With Republicans siding with the super-rich any reform bills are dead upon arrival.
What we have is a US tax code favoring the wealthiest, and little desire among lawmakers to change things in Congress.
The irony is all those "see-no-evil" lawmakers are NOT representing the average American who put them in office.
With our current tax codes the wealthy are insulated from the reality the rest of us face.
As long as the super-rich are able to keep bribing corrupt lawmakers with massive donations there's no way things are going to change.
The average American lives in one America where everyone isn't treated equally, and the one percenters live in another more exclusive America where money is their god.
Until American voters wise up and get rid of the parasites in Congress, the super-rich are running the country.
