Revenues didn't start going up until we got capital gains and dividend tax cuts, which GWB strongly opposed until he saw his reelection chances slipping away.--and he was a 'selected' not 'elected' and bushitler lied and people died--
Wait a second --that can't be what you're saying. Revenues stopped falling in 2003. The election was a year later. I can find links to Bush's call for cap/gains & div tax cuts. It's the Dims that keep harping about 'tax cuts for the rich' not the Reps.
The dividend cut was a result of the Waco Economic Forum, which was the only good thing to come out of that farce. Charles Schwab proposed it during the forum, though the idea had been circulating in Republican circles for decades. The capital gains cut was the idea of congressman Bill Thomas. The president's contribution was to tell Congress to hurry up and send him something he could sign, which was kind of funny since the president signs everything that comes out of Congress.
Prior to 2003, when the previous tax cuts were being crafted I can recall GWB sending out Ari Fleischer twice to state that he adamantly opposed capital gains tax cuts.
