Very probably, but it's easier to "attack" the "weak" than to infuriate or alienate Big Business who may be holding the purse strings at some level.
Reform is needed, but the way it is being done is doing more harm to those genuinely in need than to those scamming the system I reckon. And that includes those scamming the tax system.
