We have a bunch of Republicans in power right now who have decided to cut taxes to benefit their rich supporters, and to increase the size of the government. It will take taxes to pay for this, and if they're not going to tax people now, someone will have to be taxes in the future.

In re your first paragraph, see the one directly below it.
I love the term "rich supporters." It all but advertises "The speaker is utterly irrational." Nothing says "lack of reasoned analysis ahead" like an opening statment about the alleged "class war" the Left loves to blather about.
There is no class war. The GOP is not about feeding the rich and fucking the poor. The GOP is trying, badly, to shrink govt and create a business friendly climate for econ growth. In so doing, the rich will profit, as they always do. The GOP can't stop the rich from doing so. The rich will always get richer because once you're rich, you have capital, and once you have a lot of capital, its easy to make more money with it.
Are the GOP whorishly hooking up contributors? Absolutely. But no more than the Dems do.
The "cure" you seem to advocate - somehow handcuffing the rich and indirectly redistributing their wealth to the poor and middle classes - is impossible in a free capitalist society. When you try it, all you get is a bigger govt class which steals from everyone. Frankly, I'd rather be fleeced by business, which might make me money as a shareholder or employee or entrepreneur, than by a big govt, which will do nothing but feed its inefficient self.
