That last part is fair. Taking care of family is important, and if that's the responsibility pinning you in place, I won't try to criticize you for that, in fact, I'll laud you for it. I have further thoughts, but I don't think they're immediately germane to this thread. Would you be interested...

Then the part of the problem you can control at this point, is that you've given up. Now, we live in a nation of over 300 million people. Statistically, a small percentage of people constantly getting the shaft, yes, that'll probably happen. That's not a problem with the system itself though...

It'll take about four minutes to get through the section that covers this. The entire video is worth watching though. Now I'll be perfectly clear. I favor a flat tax rate, that has no exceptions or exemptions whatsoever. Of preference, I'd favor switching entirely over to a sales tax, and then...
