Bush did a hell of a lot more than just cut cap gain taxes. He dramatically increased the unified credit and had dividend taxation reduced from ordinary income levels to 15% or less.
He was also the first President in modern history to take the American fist and punch the crap out of our evil enemies.
GW doesn’t get enough credit for all the shit that is slung his way.
The FY2009 Federal budget submitted by George W. Bush was $3.5 trillion.
GWB's legacy will be an 84% increase in Federal spending in just eight years. None of what he did on the tax/revenue side can overcome such an awful, irresponsible track record. He makes Barack Obama -- whose last Federal budget was for $4.2 trillion -- look fiscally responsible by comparison. That itself speaks volumes of how bad the second Bush administration was.
It also explains why Jeb Bush ended up being less popular than ISIS among Republican votes in 2016.
I give GWB credit for advancing his father’s plan to turn the USA into North Mexico.
His refusal to enforce the laws and borders is costing US our country.
