Basically, If ruling party changes, accordingly tax system also does, especially given the condition that the middle class is undergoing severe financial hardship as a consequence of the extremely high fuel price, mortgage rate, and insurance premium, which is a beauty and virtue of democracy as we know.

In general, advanced states are characterized as a broad base of middle class, the recovery of which is what the last presidential election is for, too.
