You'll also need targetted tax increases along with increased marginal tax rates on high incomes.
No you don't.
You're not going to get anywhere taxing the only people capable of producing wealth, jobs, etc.

Nobody wants to do shit with capital until this little dumbass child in the White House is provided with some adult supervision.
In the mean time, everyone is hunkered down and waiting.
What we need is a promise of a federal government overhaul. Abolish the Dept. of Education. Abolish the USDA. There's no reason for these entities to exist---they perform functions states should be performing.
Other federal departments need to be consolidated and streamlined.
Most importantly, instead of worrying about queers being "married", we need to focus our efforts on a Constitutional Amendment that caps the number of federal government employees at a certain percentage of the eligible workforce.
If we can get something like that passed and codified into an Amendment, it will make the job of preserving the American way of life a lot easier for our kids.
By the time 2012 rolls around, I guarantee you something like that is gonna hold an awful lot of appeal to an awful lot of folks.
This little sack of shit Marxist wannabe is opening up a lot of possibilities if we can just hang on a little longer. Let him do his thing, try to minimize the damage he's doing to the country, and then try to take every advantage of the opportunities we're going to be given as a result of the backlash he's creating.
