So there is no coincidence Bush's policies Always favor the rich over common sense?

Question

Tax policies - always hugely in favor of the rich - yeah I save a few a year from Bush, BUT IN THE LONG RUN (and short) IT COSTS US MORE. Local and state taxes going up.

The war, of course, benefits lots of defense contractors.

Prescription drug program - a give a way to Pharm, with little comparative benefit.

Clear Skies, actually allows polluters more leeway. Does nothing for alternative energy, actually quite the opposite - for his buddies in Saudi.

A few examples for the uninformed Bush Lover.

So, are there no redeeming REAL qualities in Bush? Or will I just get more made-up fantasy stuff about how great he is?

Answer 1

It is not coincidence. It is design. They have a total disdain for working class and the poor. In 2005, they gave oil companies $15,000,000,000 tax breaks when the made record profits. Yet they cut nearly the same amount from college Pell Grants.

Answer 2

Hey Jimbo, unless you have a family and make less than 25 large a year, you are considered "rich" in this country by the tax and spenders.

You may try and do a little research before spouting off.

Answer 3

I thought long and hard about your question and I came up with something. George W. Busch is a carbon based life for and when he breathes in oxygen he breathes out carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is good for vegetation so even though he wants to level millions of acres of forest through out the US he is still in a small way good for the trees. That's all I got, I'm tapped out.

Answer 4

You are right. Thank you congress for not letting him get his sticking fingers into Social Security.

The SS system needs fixing. But not by a guy that always does exactly the wrong thing for all the wrong reasons.

Answer 5

It is simply paying back your base (in this case large businesses) for their generosity over his previous two campaigns as president. He also may have some favors to repay for his time as governor of Texas, too.

Answer 6

Opinions like this one must be created out of thin air to exist because the facts don't bear them out. I suppose many liberals are so terrified of the facts that these false worlds are all they have to live in.

This, and therapy.

Out of all the tax cuts passed by Congress over the last 6 years, 90% of them benefited poor people. I can think of only two that benefited higher income brackets, and only benefited rich people because they effected ALL tax payers:

Reduced tax brackets (across the board)
Reduced capital gain taxes (accross the board)

Tax cuts that benefited only the POOR and MIDDLE CLASS:

The new 8% tax bracket (exclusive to incomes below 20,000)
Increased exemptions and standard deductions (increasingly meaningless to 6-figure income families)
Increased child tax credit (increasingly meaningless to 6-figure income families)
Increased education credits (too small to matter to 6-figure income families)
The new "savers credit" (applies only to incomes below 50,000)
The Military Family Tax Relief Act of 2003 (all provisions benefit service members who are almost exclusively below 100,000 in income)
The declaration of new combat zones (service members only)
Expansion of veteran benefits and non-taxable amounts (service members only)
Medical savings exclusions (benefits people who can't afford good medical coverage or can't pay medical bills)
The educator's credit (teachers are not wealthy)

(You really look dumb when you try lengthy explanations like this. This information is available to everyone, and it becomes clear that you have no idea what you're talking about.)

Answer 7

Bush is rich and he takes care of his rich friends and has lost touch with the common people,.

Answer 8

Bush is the worst thing that ever happened to the US.

Answer 9

You are correct on all counts. I can't wait 'til he's outta there. We can't do much worse.
