Anybody find a chart showing "big business entitlements"?

I can't find one. I actually got our local NPR station to bring up my comment about injecting business entitlements into the budget negotiations. The L.A. Times reporter immediately defended them as bringing jobs to no response from Larry Mantle.

The effort to protect big business - which doesn't hire Americans anymore - and push for Social Security and Medicare cuts is promoted by the media. This fact alone is about the best opportunity we'll have to wake up most Americans to what's going on.

I can't find one chart. I need only one chart and I'll run with it.
