"elimination of tax breaks for big companies and wealthy individuals. " I propose targeted tax increases for big companies and wealthy individuals, such as:
- Union leaders;
- Unions;
- Television News Anchors and regulars - eg. like the salary of Katie Couric at $20 million, Chrissie Matthews at what, $2 million?;
- Members of the Film, TV and Performing Industries - eg. like the net assets of Barbra Streisand, Ed Asner, etc. How many of them have multiple homes worth gazillions?
Like Bruce Springsteen who claims his estate as a farm in order to take a big tax cut,
Talk about the rich. Who is richer than these creeps?
- College and University Professors and Administrators; - College costs have increased way, way over the rate of inflation;
- Eliminate the tax exemption for donations to Ivy League and California Universities - These are all made by wealthy alumni;
- Professional Athletes. - in particular, Basketball players, football wide receivers, defensive backs and running backs.
- Late Night Comedians - especially those with stables of exotic collector's automobiles worth tens of millions of dollars.
- Agents and legal representatives of above.
- Trial Lawyers - They get millions but hire no one - they do NOT create jobs.
- Pundits - They make millions but create no jobs;
- any others?
Who can deny that members of the above are:
- way beyond "Middle Class?"
- "Winners in Life's Lottery?"
- Good Citizens whose Patriotic Duty is to "Give something back" to the country that has given them so much?

I could see a guy like Rep. Thad McCotter (R-MI) doing something like that.

I’d vote for every single one of those...just to see the anguish and lashing out from the left.
