9. The BEST overview of Bush's beneficence to the wealthy
The following link a terrific summary of Bush's tax policies. Great info to have at hand. For instance

"Bush surrounded himself with middle-class families to
launch his tax cut campaign in 2001. When a reporter
asked why no one was representing the top bracket, Bush
laughingly replied, "I beg your pardon. I'm
representing...the top tax bracket."

George and Laura Bush reported income of $822,126 on
their 2003 tax return, putting them in the top 1
percent. Dick and Lynne Cheney topped the Bushes with
$1,900,339, including $627,005 in tax-exempt interest
on municipal bonds and $178,437 in deferred
compensation from Halliburton.

Administration tax policies have been good for them,
but not for the country."
