2. And does he know this from experience?

What a stupid thing to say!

3. It appears that this wasnt even a Bushism. He was supposed to say this.

His speech included this line.

4. Great, so rather than tighten the laws so these bastards have...

...to pay their share, let's just let them off the hook and make their tax avoidance much easier. Let's see, HH filer, 2 adults, 2 children earns $400 million in taxable income, taxes before Bush were $240 million owed to the IRS. From that they set their tax attorneys and CPAs to work to avoid as much of that tax bill as possible. But Bush wants to make it possible for his rich pals to owe only $139,970,766. Then have their tax attorneys and CPAs whittle that down as much as possible. Ahaaa, much better and they'll love Bush that much more.

I'm sure he and the BFEE have some rather creative accountants.

I've started looking already. Never thought about it before.
