GW (Bizzaro Robin Hood) Bush, Steals from the Poor and Gives to Rich.

Taken from Eric Alterman and Mark Green’s book, The Book On Bush, How George W. (Mis) leads America.

“In George W. Bush we have a president who’s a fourth-generation business heir, a man who has never really pounded the pavement but accumulated his wealth through family contacts and favors. As president, he moves aggressively and successfully to enact a fiscal program that (a) reduces taxes on the “investor class” more in percentage terms than on the middle class, (b) abolishes the “dead billionaires’ tax” (estate tax),(c) shifts the burden of taxes to “earned” income and away from “unearned income” (dividends and capital gains), and for good measure,(d) changes IRS practice so fewer multi-millionaires are audited and more poor people are. (The number of civil fraud penalties against corporations plunged by two-thirds, from 555 in 1993 to 159 in 2002.) Given that tax cuts for the top 1 percent equal all the cuts to the bottom 90 percent--and given the trillion dollars quietly shifting from the accounts of labor and future generations to toady’s investor class--George W. Bush is redistributing wealth far more than George McGovern or Huey Long ever dreamed possible. These large movements of money reflect the law of intended consequences and are neither incidental nor accidental. For Bush to attach others for engaging in class warfare is the speeder blaming the radar gun.”

That my friends about sums up what has been going on for the last three years. The rich are getting richer and the rest of us are getting the shaft.

This time, I think the accusation will stick.

Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore
Riding through the land
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore
Without a merry band
He steals from the poor.
And gives to the rich
Stupid bitch.

(Dennis Moore reins to sudden halt and looks over to camera.)

Dennis Moore: What did you sing?

Singers: (speaking) We sang... he steals from the poor and gives to the rich.

Dennis Moore: Wait a tic... blimey, this redistribution of wealth is trickier than I thought.

Monty Python, as if you needed to ask.
