"That's because the tax cuts were done to buy votes, not to help the economy"

Nonsense!
The Bush tax cuts are precisely what saved us from the double whammy of the Klinton recession and the ravages of the economic effects of 9/11.
President Bush inherited a recession, and is finishing his first term with an economy rocking along with a sizzling 3.9% GDP growth in the last quarter alone.
Try comparing that to Germany and France (who Hanoi John Kerry wants to take orders from) with their pathetic, anemic 0.1% GDP growth in the last quarter!

The Bush tax cuts are precisely what saved us from the double whammy of the Klinton recession and the ravages of the economic effects of 9/11.

What the President inherited was an out of control Federal Reserve Chairman and the beginnings of a business spending depression (not a recession). Two problems he didn't recognize and cared to do nothing about. It was the 9/11 attacks that turned things around (take a look at a chart of the major stock market indices). They brought Greenspan around to his senses, but the President didn't come around until he saw the soft economy would threaten his reelection.
