    That’s the exact opposite of the situation. The tax code is so outrageously complicated and obtuse that only the rich can afford the sort of accounting to take advantage of it.

      That’s the narrative they want you to believe, but the reality is that the richest people don’t properly pay their taxes, if at all. The top 1% illegally fails to pay an estimated $163 billion every single year. Nothing is simpler than just ignoring the complicated tax code that fucks the rest of Americans every year.
