Sherrod – like President Obama – isn’t specific about his approach to sustainable big government, so what if we used the class-warrior’s dream scenario of doubled corporate income taxes and fully “reclaimed” CEO pay? Starting with just the 2011 deficit of $1.62 trillion, how fast could we balance the budget with a little extra from the kings of the S&P 500 index?

Soak the Rich: The Dow Chemical Company
Because chemicals always do more harm than good, Dow Chemical should be punished for their crimes against humanity. Conveniently, there’s a $1.62 trillion shortfall in the 2011 federal budget – let’s see how Dow likes the Sherrod Brown approach to deficits!
Soak the Rich: Monsanto Company
Acid rain! Frankenseeds! With terms that frightening, it’s obvious we should take the foodstuffs Gaia provides and leave it at that. Conveniently, there’s a $1.62 trillion shortfall in the 2011 federal budget. Who thinks Monsanto deserves the corporate tax hikes Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) demands to pay for big government?

Three Months of Soaking the Rich
Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) has a Progressive’s grasp of economics: Washington is blameless, corporations are evil, and bureaucrats need more money to adjust the level of all boats appropriately.
Soak the Rich: News Corp.
If there’s one thing more evil than a conservative, it’s a conservative media executive. That’s why true Progressives knew, long before Rupert Murdoch and his minions in England caused their current scandal, that News Corporation – parent of Fox News and The Wall Street Journal – was perhaps the vilest corporation on earth.
Soak the Rich: Southwest Airlines
Southwest Airlines commits an unforgivable crime against the greater good each day: by offering flights around the world at discount rates, Southwest prevents Americans from riding trains!
Soak the Rich, Week 11
Starting with the ten largest companies in the S&P 500 index and moving to the least-Progressive villains after that, how far have twenty-two applications of Sherrod’s Sure-Fire Budget Oil brought us?
