I'm not defending Bush but ...

How many people here are employed by a poor person? The fact is that a reduction in corporate taxes creates jobs and is far better for "poor people" than a similar tax cut would be for them; beyond that corporations are not (really) owned by a bunch of "rich people" who own top-hats and monocles, they're owned by everyone who invests, or has a pension.

Bush's mistake was he produced tax-cuts while increasing spending, and thus ran up high deficits which devalues the dollar and creates (high) inflation.
A better question might be "How many businesses are kept afloat by poor people?" 

Giving money to poor people helps poor people more than giving it to rich people.  It's silly to argue otherwise -- when a corporation finds itself more profitable its natural inclination isn't a wage hike for the janitorial staff.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
