What the hell is Bush talking about when he says he reduced taxes on *everyone*? When I made LESS than the poverty level from 1996-2003, I noticed a SIGNIFICANT reduction of money coming back to me in my tax return DURING HIS PRESIDENCY. And I noticed MORE money coming out of my checks

My dad owns his own business and told me yesterday that since Bush took office he makes $700 less PER DAY. Nuts. That coulda been going to me and a car or something. :)

La-la - It's not sufficient to name the people that Bush'es policies support in terms of classes, ie middle class, working class, upper-middle class - this makes them sound too numerous. The tax relief that he talks about was a 200 dollar tax rebate that he funded with deficit spending. So more like a 200 dollar loan. If anyone could have benefitted, it would have been shareholders, but they only profited if they owned stocks in war-related industries that were able to beat the sliding dollar. So if you're going to name people that benefit from Bush administration policies, think in terms of peoples' names. He probably knows most of them on a first name basis.
