“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,” he said. “And I happen to believe lower taxes is what stimulates economic growth and what we need now in our country is economic growth.”
It’s just part of it , GW.
it’s our money................
He is too modest. They should continue to call them the “Bush tax cuts’, because that’s what they are.
And besides, It pisses off Oblama liberals.
Bush still having a hard time connecting the dots between low taxes and LESS GOVERNMENT (”compassionate conservatism” (translation: “more government”) notwithstanding).
Hewitt didn't just read W's book, he studied it before the interview. Without doubt some of the most insightful questions asked of W about his presidency. And as a result, Bush's responses revealed an intellectual depth most media were never interested in exploring. The man is well-read.
Extraordinary interview.
Obama Tax Increases
America’s tax cuts!
How about calling it the "Bush tax-rates". Because extending them won't lower taxes a single penny. The Democrats are all about lying, as if extending them for some is "tax cuts for the middle-class" which it is not it just keeps them at the current tax level. Lower taxes are good policy, but we aren't arguing for lower taxes, just keeping them from going higher! Arghhh!
The reason that Democrats and their allies in the media call them “Bush tax cuts” is because they still believe that most Americans hate GWB. The Dems believe that this will turn public sentiment against the tax cuts. If the Dems had their way ALL tax rates on anyone making over $50,000 would go up.
I don’t like the term “Bush tax cuts” or. .more specifically, the term “tax cuts.” It’s a “tax rate” and that’s it. All this talk about “tax cuts” implies a lowering from the norm and that returning to the “norm” is to be expected. Lowering tax rates should be seen as moving toward the norm. Democrats want to keep raising the tax rates and will do so until we have a 100% tax rate, in other words, socialism.
