Higher taxes for large businesses helps a lot. They end up paying little taxes and screw what I use to think of the middle class over, HARD. And assholes like the dude who use to be the CEO of Citi or Chase was asked to resign so he could be bush's secretary of treasury, was given like 400 million in stocks (plus another 100 something million in cash), but didnt have to pay a lick of taxes on it on those stocks.
