No, bush lowered taxes for the richer people. They are the ones who got more of the "rebate". Now bush and whoever believes in him want lower class and poor to pay for the "rebates" he gave to the richer people in this country on a "war" he started in Iraq. Again, bush is useless, and a liar.

Bush lowered the tax RATES for all people who earn enough to pay income tax in the first place. (Almost half of working Americans pay zero income tax.) Total federal tax RECEIPTS are now at an all time high.
The deficit exists because there are to many Congressmen and Senators who chose to try and buy votes with giveaways to the people in their districts and States.
Republicans are not blind OR stupid, but people like you who can't seem to understand simple economics certainly appear to be both. The fact is, people react and behave differently when the government changes the tax rates.
Right now home ownership is at at all time high, the unemployment rate is under 5%, and most businesses are looking to hire more people. The economy right now is doing great, and if more people don't see that, it's only because Liberals are constantly trying to undermine public confidence and talk us into a recession.
So far as I can see, Liberals in the political class don't give a rat's *** about the well being of others. They are in a single-minded pursuit of power, and they don't care who they have to hurt, to fulfill their selfish desires.

Liberals blame George Bush for the weak economy and say his tax cut has only made the economy worse. They point to jobs lost, the level of unemployment, the level of the financial markets and slow growth since he took office. The economy was beginning to turn around leading up to September 11, 2001. After the attack on September 11, everything changed. People did stop flying, hurting the airline industry, which in turn hurt hotels, restaurants, theme parks and tourism. There were some businesses that closed for an entire week and some in New York that never reopened. The financial markets were closed for more than a week and the financial services industry was devastated. September 11th hurt all sectors of the economy, which resulted in tens of thousands of layoffs. So how is George Bush is responsible for the poor economy? Liberals would have you forget that the attack on September 11th took place and we must never forget. George Bush is trying to revive the economy by lowering taxes. The irony here, the liberals who accuse him of hurting the economy oppose his tax cuts.

If you logically think this is how it works, you're in need of a serious economics lesson. Get a clue!!!
