I just said that I would be concentrating on longer, more thoughtful posts, but this bit from today's Slacktivist is too good to not share:
President Bush said a "drag on our economy is the current tax code, which is a complicated mess, filled with special interest loopholes." Bush noted that the American people were saddled with "6 billion hours of paperwork and headache every year," and said that he was the candidate to create "a simpler, fairer" system.
That line jumped out at me when I watched the speech. Here is a man who has spent three years rewriting the tax code in his own image. The "current tax code" is a creature of his own making. It is the Bush tax code. He crafted that "complicated mess." He signed into law many of those "special interest loopholes" -- Hooters & Polluters anyone? George W. Bush is the first president to run for a second term by blaming all his problems on the previous administration. [my italics.]
