(37,573 posts)why would it be okay to trust Bush before 12/12/2000?
As I wrote in 2004
THE PRESIDENT: I believe the plan, strongly believe the plan that I have submitted is structured the right way. I've heard all the talk about class warfare and this only benefitting the rich. I think when people take a good, hard look at the rate reduction and who benefits and the fact that our plan erases inequities in the tax code, or eases inequities in the tax code; and that the biggest -- the bottom end of the economic ladder receives the biggest percentage cuts, people will come to realize it.
I think it's important to cut all tax rates, yes." Feb 5, 2001

Yet this was a lie which I found on Bush's website in October of 2000 and saw on TV ads in Wisconsin, and he was still telling it, with a straight face, in February of 2001.
To me somebody who tells you something like "Nine divided by two is less than the cube root of 27", that person cannot be trusted on anything.
