In the whirl wind of current events that swarm around U.S politics, an unfair piece of legislation pertaining to taxes is in the process of trying to be passed, but this piece of legislation is unlikely to get passed due to the bill favoring corporations instead of the lower and middle classes. This piece of legislation would provide big businesses with lower tax rates, and would push higher and lower middle class families into a higher tax bracket, and in addition with being pushed into a higher tax bracket, families would receive less benefits from the government (New York Times). This bill should not be passed  because it doesn't favor the citizens of the United States, instead it favors big business, and will leave the lower and middle classes with a higher rate of taxation with fewer benefits. To me that is an unfair arrangement, especially when governmental programs will be cut, even though we will be paying higher taxes. Instead of a bill that favors corporations, we need to put a bill in place that will actually benefit the general public. Our government actually needs to start caring about it citizens rather than putting all their energy into corporations that are already extremely rich. One good thing does come out of this bill if it does get passed, that would be that taxation on alcohol would decrease, so at least while the general public will be paying higher taxes, we can at least purchase cheaper drinks.
