George W. Bush Cutting Quotations

And the cornerstone of my economic policies, when I first got elected, was cutting taxes on everybody on who paid taxes.

Today, the Senate took an important step forward in cutting the deficit. I commend Senate leadership and the other senators who supported this spending-reduction legislation,

I cut the taxes on everybody. I didn't cut them. The Congress cut them. I asked them to cut them.

America is addicted to oil...We must also change how we power our automobiles.

We will also fund additional research in cutting-edge methods of producing ethanol, not just from corn but from wood chips and stalks or switch grass.

I wish they weren't called the 'Bush tax cuts.' If they're called some other body's tax cuts, they're probably less likely to be raised.

The best way to encourage economic vitality and growth is to let people keep their own money.When you spend your own money, somebody's got to manufacture that which you're spending it on. You see, more money in the private sector circulating makes it more likely that our economy will grow. And, incredibly enough, some want to take away part of those tax cuts. They've been reading the wrong textbook. You don't raise somebody's taxes in the middle of a recession. You trust people with their own money. And, by the way, that money isn't the government's money; it's the people's money.

A tax cut is really one of the anecdotes to coming out of an economic illness.
