President Bush shows reporters how he came up with his budget proposal and tax plan.
President Bush followed his speech to Congress this week by taking his tax plan to the American people. He hopes to gain public support for his proposed budget by dangling a tax cut carrot in their faces.
Named The Fabulous Trillion Dollar Tax Cut Revival, it was an extravegant affair amidst a circus-like atmosphere. The president was accompanied by clowns, jugglers, hypnotists, sleight-of-hand artists and several elephants. There was also a midway featuring shell games and three-card monte.
People gathered in a large tent to hear the president speak about his plan, which will shrink five tax brackets into four. Democrats complain that the richest individuals get the biggest benefit since the highest of tax brackets is eliminated. Bush dismisses such claims.
"Do not believe what the saynayers say," Bush told the gathered, "my plan is just plain common sensical. The rich peoples needs the mostest money to create jobs and live a comfortable lifestyle. Why should they have to decide between a Jacuzzi, a Jaguar or a yacht when they can get all three?"
The president also explained that "giving the mostest money to middle and lower incomes can only help them get out of debt, which will make the banks lose money, which in turn would hurt the rich peoples like my daddy and me."
