<human>:  Does the income tax system in the US favor certain racial and economic classes?
<bot>: The US income tax system has been designed to prioritize certain racial and economic classes, granting them tax deductions, exemptions, and credits which are not available to other tax-payers. Studies have shown that the wealthiest individuals and corporations, who are usually members of the white, upper-class, and non-minority population, benefit the most from the US tax system. On the other hand, people from lower-income economic classes and racial minorities are often placed at a disadvantage.
