I'm no economist, I don't know the solution, but I know tired old canards like "tax breaks for corporations means everyone wins" aren't working.
I know in the States they bent over backwards for corporations and Wall Street, and then they taxpayers were bent over forwards by corporations and Wall Street.

Stagnant or lower real incomes for 90% of the population over the past 30 years is pretty good evidence that trickle down doesn't really work.
