How sad, the economy is great, growing like crazy.
Everybody gets to keep more of the money they earned with the tax cuts. Unemployment is way down, so many people have benefited a great deal.
On the other hand he's passed more of the liberal agenda and grown the government more the Clinton could have dreamed of, Ticked off his conservative base, and not stood up to any criticisms so all moderates hear is how bush is either stupid or and evil genius, so now Democrats are going to take over the congress next election so I would say the democratic party has benefited the most.

Of course the obvious answers are those have an interest in big oil and companies that supply weapons and logistical support to the military. Equally obvious is the benefit reaped from the most affluent of us.
One constituency that people don't mention are the apocalyptic Christians. No, I am not talking about the Christian Right in general. I am referring to the die hard doomsday Christian preachers (and there are more of them than you would like to admit) who state that the conflict in the Middle East, especially related to Israel, will be the precursor to the end times. Well, these apocalyptic Christians will benefit the most from Bush's tenure because he has done more to usher in conflict into the Middle East than any other President. Hence, we will have a group of lunatics expecting Christ any day now.

Do any of you realize that those top 2% of taxpayers pay far more of the overall tax burden than the poor and middle class? The fact is that the government could reduce taxes but reducing wasteful programs and practices. They could reduce government spending by 33% or more. I am certainly not rich but crying because someone has the wherewithal to make money is ridiculous. Get out there and make your fortune yourself, then you will be crying about something different. Nobody in this country is entitled to anything but life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. NOT THE GUARANTEE of happiness. The government should be doing nothing more than what is stated, protecting our life, liberty, and abilitly to pursue happiness. So many of you expect the goverment to take care of you as if they and other Americans owe you something, well we don't. If you don't want to get off your hind end, then starve.

I have benefited from President George W. Bush being in office. Since Bush has been in office, drug use amongst teenagers have been on the decline, America's defense has been strenghten, and Bush's Tax Cut have been beneficial because it helps Americans who are on a tight budget. George W. Bush is a man who is a Team Player and is Awesome because he has a compassion for caring for People and I am blessed that he is the President of the United States of America.

Oil companies. Big time! Pharmaceutical companies. Rumsfeld was the CEO of a big one. Halliburton. Their connection to Cheny has gotten them some sneaky defense contracts and made the government look the other way about fraud. Bush has benefited. Money. Money. Money. Having spent so much money on a bogus war, he's damaged the economy so severely, it may never recover. The 60,000 plus dead Iraqis (men, women & children) haven't benifted. The terrorists have. They're recruiting in record numbers. Have we benefited? Not even.

America, more jobs, investments paying great returns, lower unemployment
The people of Iraq, they now have political freedom, to use or waste but they have it.
And the Mexican people, since he will not close the border.
He has had nothing to do with the oil prices in general, most of it now has to do with the global price of oil.
the Liberals and Clinton by blocking the drilling off shore in most of the US and the stoping of drilling in Alaska have doomed american oil.
as for as your top 2 percent,they do great regardless of who is in power, the rich political people in both parties watch out for thier own in reality. But all of the american people have been doing good over all.

Bush. I sure haven't, and the rich have too. The rich get richer and the poor pay for it. You really pay for being poor and uneducated. The government comes after you for taxes, but they don't bother to collect billions of long way over due taxes owed by wealthy individuals ! I've heard those stories !

America - for the foreseeable future...
Liberals hate prosperity, especially when it comes on the heels of an economic trough that they created - and they really hate it when the economy gets turned around by tax cuts... they think that all money should be sent to the government for redistribution.
