I wonder if any one has thought about these few points.
* President Bush cut taxes in 01 because the economy was going well. The American people know how to spend their money.
* Cut Taxes because the economy wasn't going well in '02. The economy needed to be stimulated.
* Has anyone read Richard Clarke's book or Bob Woodward's book? They both say that the Administration planned for war with Iraq before 9/11.
(Once the election is over, and everyone's blood has cooled a bit, I would hope everyone would check out these two books as well as the War Room and Woodward's book on Clinton's first term.)
* "Axis of Evil" was a slogan that the President's writers threw together in order to address Iraq without singling it out. Korea and Iran were after-thoughts.
* President Bush's administration reclassified 5 million acres of Wetlands, and a week later, during a press conference in the Everglades, President Bush announced the re-reclassification of a million acres of wetland and called it a victory for the preservation of our wetlands.
I respect anyone who will/has voted for Bush but please recognize that he has made a lot of serious mistakes that border on negligence.
Regarding tax codes, regressive tax policies may, indeed, be good for our economy, but our fellow citizen's ability to care for themselves are paramount to most other concerns. A robust economy need not hurt its workers nor be a communist construct. Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations never spoke of the amoral, selfish capitalism we have now. Smith envisioned a responsible, ethical marketplace. Non zero sum is the popular modern term for it. It essentially means, your gain doesn't necessitate another's loss.
