How has the Bush administration failed or benefited you personally?

Question

Cite examples please.

Answer 1

I am a small business owner. I never got any tax refund. My taxes are now so complicated that I could never do them myself.

Also, I depend on industry in the US for my business. Since W has taken office I would guess well over 50% of my clients have closed their doors and moved their operations to China.

My phones are being tapped.
My country is feared around the world.
We are the laughingstock of so called "democratic" countrys
Many more reasons that make this country less democratic and more fascist.
The internet is about to be taken over by big communications firms and they will sell bandwidth to the highest bidder.

Answer 2

I believed he failed me and every working class citizen. I am 28 years old in the prime of my life and it is very difficult to find a good job or be able to afford a house in a sky high real estate market. In the past few years there has been a surge in people buying second homes meanwhile the working class cannot afford a single home or afford to pay for fuel for their cars. Bush policy only helps the rich...he think if you give the rich tax breaks that they will use the extra money to hire people or give raises to the workers, but instead they just buy more homes and a second and third BMW. This country consist of two classes...the rich and the poor.

Answer 3

Hey dude talking about the employment rate, I agree that this guy should still be able to get a job, but the employment rate does not reflecte what jobs are being worked or what jobs are being offered. Its pretty easy to create millions of part time low paying jobs. Anyway I digress. 33% Job approval rating good job W. Bush has effected my life, because every night I have to watch the news and here about young men dying in a far away place for a people that does not want them or appreciate there efforts. You want to support our troops, Write your congressmen or women and bring them home so they stop dying.

Answer 4

The Bush administration has helped destroy the company I work for. In addition he has damaged the U.S. Constitution. He has led us toward an acceptance that torture of prisoners and denial of due process is morally acceptable. Look at www.911truthseekers.org and look for the peer reviewed paper by Dr. Steven E. Jones. You will be shaken to the core by what you find.

Answer 5

Failed the country which is me, and everybody else. Supply side economics, causing a recession, war in Iraq, for no good reason, his appointees to the supreme court will affect every one for decades. The list is long and varied overall I think he is the worst leader of this country that I have ever seen and I go back as far as Eisenhower.

Answer 6

"Foremost among the objectives committed to that trust by the Constitution is the security of the Nation". ALEXANDER HAMILTON

I would have to agree with Alex on this one. He has benefited me.

However, I'm sure you'll have a lot of responses from pseudo intellectual liberals who are smarter than him so let's all wait to hear their biased, inane, pissing and moaning.

smartypants, do you think by buying that new house more construction workers are employed longer? As will be the maintenance people who take care of it, the insurance people who protect it, the government workers who benefits from it higher taxes, etc, etc, etc, etc, ..............

BMW's are now made in America (dam in-sourcing) so when a "rich" person buys one, isn't he/she keeping those workers employed not to mention the people who will work on the cars, fill it with gas, provide insurance, replace its tires, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc....................

If you can't afford gas, your problem isn't with Bush, it's with the guy you see in the mirror. But that's a little too hard to admit and accept, isn't it.

Answer 7

I LOVE THIS ANSWER!!!!! I couldn't have said it better myself...

"However, I'm sure you'll have a lot of responses from pseudo intellectual liberals who are smarter than him so let's all wait to hear their biased, inane, pissing and moaning."

I especially love the person who said that they can't get a job because of Bush. Could be any more misinformed? You need to take a look at the unemployment rate- it may surprise you.
