But among a growing number of people, it is also evoking anger over an unequal tax system that favors the 1 percent over the 99 percent. The good news is that rising numbers of organizations and people are involved in struggles for a more just tax system. These same corporations complain that the corporate tax rate, pegged at a mere 35 percent, is one of the highest in the world. A fair tax system can deliver that with no cuts in vital government programs. The United States is not broke; its rules and tax system are simply unfair.
