The idea behind this is to make as much money as you can, as quickly as you can at any cost. No matter what system you put into place it won't make a difference. This is survival of the richest.

That IS pretty pessimistic. There is also the REALITY that there are MANY MORE people that are NOT, NOT in the uber 1% or the UBER- 10 %. The middle and lower class get TAKEN advantage of and it is their own fault and the fault of the DUMBED-DOWN secondary and primary EDUCATION system,
.........We are ALSO inundated with PROPAGANDA which confuses the average US citizen. In Finland, school children are taught how to recognize and fight misinformation. The US would do well to do the SAME!
The US would be a MUCH stronger country and get back into the top ten of countries in QUALITY of LIFE if its average citizen COULD differentiate and understand the difference between a PROGRESSIVE tax system and a FLAT tax system. ......And PS any system of anything has CRACKS and GRAY areas that can be exploited by people of ILL WILL. let us use Bernie Madoff as one famous example. And there will ALWAYS be TAX cheats. That is WHY the IRS needs a stronger budget. That will easily PAY for itself !!!!!!
