George W. Bush: "I Wish They Would've Called it Something Other Than the Bush Tax Cuts"

BUSH: Well, I wish they would've called it something other than the Bush tax cuts, There'd probably be less angst amongst some to pass it, but I do believe it's very important to send the signal to our entrepreneurs and our families that the government trusts them to spend their own money

Obama has supported the "Bush tax cuts".
Clinton has supported the "Bush tax cuts".

Everyone now agrees that tax cuts help boost a troubled economy. But they won't feel that way the next time the issue comes around. Instead, they will be outraged that anyone could consider a tax cut when the economy is in trouble.

Why's he worried about the "tax cut" terminology? It was a good policy then and it's good policy now.

Spend thrift, feelgood "compassionate conservative" Bush was NOT good policy or conservative.

However you feel about W (and I am plenty ambiguous believe me) his point is that it would be easier to pass if it weren’t labled “Bush”. I personally think that shows some humility from the man in acknowledging that his name makes it harder to pass.

Why not just post it here?

Is there something objectionable about it?

by "more" it means a little bit more (for whatever reason)...

Conservative talk radio host Scott Hennen :"Bush tax cuts...It's everywhere right now with this debate going on,"..."Right now [there's] recognition of members of Congress of both sides that we need to keep your tax policy in place. Does that feel like a vindication?"

BUSH: "Well, I wish they woulda called it something other than the Bush tax cuts, There'd probably be less angst amongst some to pass it, but I do believe it's very important to send the signal to our entrepreneurs and our families that the government trusts them to spend their own money, And I happen to believe lower taxes is what stimulates economic growth and what we need now in our country is economic growth."

I think the point is that if they weren't called "the Bush tax cuts" that fewer congresscritters would be so reflexively against them. I.e., if they were called something else, then more Democrats would be on board in extending them, perhaps even without a sunset clause.

Certainly, and why is that?

Because Bush would never fight for the truth to be told, and would never support those that did. He allowed the leftist scum to lie unendingly without opposition, commit sedition and treason, and regularly caved and retracted the truth, and twiddled this thumbs while the the good guys were destroyed or railroaded.

Maintaining the current tax law is smart... but the rest of the bill is just the continuing march to communism. Bush and his daddy really like the 800 plus billion in new progressive one world order spending. Yes, Bush was far better than obama... but there would be no obama in the Whitehouse without Bush before him... and that is the truth... and for many reasons.

Personally, I don’t know why we haven’t called it the Obama tax increase.

I have no complaint if a good conservative blogger posts his own material to FR, not as an excerpt to drive hits and discussion back to his blog, but rather to impart useful information to OUR readers and to promote and join in on the discussion and conservative activism HERE on FR.

If a blogger can’t or refuses do that, and if he constantly complains or fights with our participants over it, then I’d just as soon he doesn’t post here. It’s not my job to make his content or his presentation or cooperation acceptable to our readers. That’s his job. And if he cannot do it or refuses to do it and continues posting brief excerpts only and obviously attempting to draw away our participants while loudly complaining about it, then I have no sympathy for his complaints and the more apt I am to ban his account and blog.

If you want to get your message out to more people, post the full content.

If you want to continue excerpting your blog to get hits, expect complaints.

Again, certainly, the White House is trying to call 'em the "Obama tax cuts", but, while they WERE tax cuts in the Bush Adm, they ARE NOT tax cuts in the Zer0 Adm. They are a continuation of current law. Bush is wishing to trade a truth for a lie to benefit Zero and the Rats, and seriously harm the American people with the spending and pork slipped in on this bill.

This will work out well, .....if you're a Marxist.

Agreed, and I’m about sick of hearing it’s ‘costing 900 billion’... whatever!

Not to worry, George.

In a few days, it will become the Obama Tax Cuts and he will get the credit.

Your post indicates “HAP” (you) as both source and author of this article. The content of the article on your blog is almost entirely composed of quotes from a video posted on YouTube by radio host Scott Hennen, which is embedded on your blog;

This is the direct link to that video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXBFLwh4wi0

Are we to infer that you are in fact Scott Hennen? Are you then reposting your own material on your blog?

If that is the case, then congratulations are in order. Good interview!

If, however, you are not Scott Hennen, then why are you claiming credit for his work in your post here?

Talkradio03, did you see this post?

Sure looks like Jim is talking about you pimp. Here is one of those complaints he mentions in his post boy.

If shibumi hadn’t posted the direct link I never would have seen this on FR because I don’t go to MySpace pages like Crapblog.
