  How could it do any less to favor them?  The "affluent," (I'm guessing at this point what you mean by the term) already pay over 96% in total income tax, and corporations pay the highest rate of tax in this country than anywhere else in the world.  How much more of a burden would you place on them?

  "....a better-functioning education system...."
  .
  Unless you give school choice, voucher programs, and incentives for families to home school (all of which are gaining ground, but slowly)--  that will never, ever happen.
  .
  "....more bargaining power for workers...."  
  .
  This part is confusing: Which American workers do not currently have a right to negotiate their wages with an employer before entering into a voluntary agreed-upon contract with that employer?
  .
  "and less tolerance for corporate consolidation."
  .
  Again, this is confusing: how does taking away the freedoms of a business owner to consolidate help?
