Bush did not 'lie' about the tax cuts.
.
On the 'Bush' tax cuts:
.
If you have a child - you received a benefit.
.
If you are married - you received a benefit.
.
If you paid *any* tax at all - you received a benefit.
.
The previous rates of 15, 28, 31, 26 and 39.6 percent were replaced with 10, 15, 25, and 33 percent.
.
.
Now - the *real* question is ...........
.
Will the cuts do everything Bush and this administration has promised ? Who knows. Many have stated one reason the recession was relatively short and 'shallow' was primarily due to the tax cuts. Some have countered with the opposite. Depends on whom you prefer to listen to - there are strong (and compelling) arguments on both sides of this issue.
