Who pays?

WE DO!

Dan Froomkin provides a public service (see Leonard Downie, it isn't that hard) by juxtapositioning Junior's stump speech with some facts as follows: "Here's an excerpt from the text of Bush's speech in Las Vegas yesterday:

'Just be careful -- all I ask you is be careful about all this talk about taxing the rich. You know how that goes. The so-called rich hire accountants and lawyers to maybe not pay as much, and therefore, in order to meets all these promises guess who gets to end up stuck with the bill?

'AUDIENCE MEMBER: We do.

'THE PRESIDENT: The working people.'

Well, it turns out that Bush is certainly right about who gets stuck with the bill -- but the credit doesn't go to the accountants and lawyers. It goes to his tax cuts...."

What follows are several links to evidence, including the GOP controlled Congress, showing how Bush's "tax cuts" have in reality resulted in a tax increase for the middle class. Click and see. And read the rest of the Froomkin's article, which holds Bush's feet to the fire with regards to several other attempts to engage in revisionist history.
