This is the Republi-Con talking point of the day about so-called class warfare, "in english". The prefer the term "class warfare" because it is understood to refer to socialist theory about class differences that inevitably arise from capitalism. What they don't tell you is that they themselves are the socialists--corporate socialists--who insist on pay-for-play special treatment for the biggest firms, that allow them to outcompete small business. They hope you'll forget that it is actually small business that is the job creator, not their corporate sponsors.

They do this in various ways, for example, by redefining "small business to apply to a $30 billion business like Bechtel which is an http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-corp">S-Corp pass-through that is technically OWNED by less than 100 very rich share holders. They think you'll be happy that the number of owners is instead used to define the business class.
