of this speech.

I guess "going big" would mean following through with aggressive proposals to close loopholes, make outsourcing less attractive and generally make the wealthiest pay their fair share. Maybe even withdraw support from any settlements with big banks that let them off the hook with a relatively small fine. The Buffett Rule was a good start but it's not enough.

And if Republicans cry "class warfare," he should call them out by NAME and show how each one of them has waged war against the poor and middle class.
