Elitist
Our Constitution was established to: "promote the general welfare". The Bush administration has certainly promoted the welfare of the wealthy, but average Americans have actually seen their incomes decline.
At an $800/plate fund raiser Bush quipped: "This is an impressive crowd, the haves and the have- mores. Some people call you, elite; I call you my base". Bush panders to his wealth influential friends and self-serving international conglomerates. Driven by greed, dishonest special interest lobbyist have thwarted members of Congress from considering the common good.
Thomas Frank's "What's the matter with Kansas?" seeks to answer the question: Why do so many Americans vote against their economic and social interest? Republican's have skillfully promoted an agenda which works against the well-being of the average American family. They have kept voters distracted with cultural issues, thereby diverting attention from issues related to their own welfare. Frank a native Kansan and onetime conservative writes: "They may talk Christ, but they walk corporate. Values may matter most to voters, but they always take a back seat"- to Bush's elitist base.
Republicans have not produced a president in the past 34 years that has balanced a budget. Over the past 3 decades, they have practiced theories such as supply side economics, which have proven time and again that they can't be trusted with taxpayers' money. Of the past 12 presidents the top six in terms of job creation were all Democrats. At the bottom of the list is Bush the elder, Bush the younger and Herbert Hoover. Since 1989, only Clinton led the country in the direction of creating more jobs, significantly reduced unemployment and brought about a budget surplus. President Bush has squandered the budget surplus and created a record deficit, while the number of Americans without health insurance has grown by 3.8 million.
