When you put on those rosy glasses and remember the good old days, this is what I like to put on my old liberal Democrat hat. A reminder that George W. Bush didn't say he was going to give rich people a huge tax cut because he thought they were productive or they deserved to keep their own money. He just lied. He said, no, no, no, the poorest people are going to get the biggest tax cut.

You know, it wasn't true. Ronald Reagan was also, in many ways, selling himself as a new working man's Republican. He would, you know, speak to the unions. He would say, like, he's more populous than old... than older Republicans because it was never popular to say, I want a tax cut for the rich.

We're just going to have to go through and look at some George W. Bush. We're going to have a separate bonus segment where we watch George W. Bush's 2003 speech about the second tax cut. We're going to watch the speeches about it together. And then we'll do a mystery science theater. That'll be some bonus content for the weekend. I'm not prepared to push back on that.
