Our Candidate: Why We Love George George W. Bush is more than the perfect puppet Reagan was; he's truly one of us. We don't have to convince him of the benefits of helping out the rich and powerful — he's known them all his life. Billionaires bought him the education his brains couldn't — Andover, Yale, Harvard — then bailed out his failed business ventures, and paid his way into politics. As a result, George is as dedicated to realising our vision for America as we are! Tax Cuts, the Deficit and Destroying Public Services We love George's tax cuts! They mean trillions for us and tidbits for everyone else. Better still, they've left Americans with a crippling debt that their children will be paying back to us (guess who loaned Bush the money for a tax cut?!) for years to come while the Government slashes social security, education and health care to avoid going bankrupt. Read more... Investment: $200 million to Bush's 2000 election campaign Return: $1.1 trillion in tax cuts Percent Return: 550,000% Medicare and Pharmaceuticals The health of Americans is important to us. In fact, it's worth about $1.6 trillion a year! And now George is helping us make even more money from this booming business. He's protecting our profits by barring cheaper drugs from abroad, while his new Medicare bill guarantees that the government can't negotiate bulk drug prices from our companies. Read more... Investment: $44 million in Drug Company donations to Republicans since 2000 Return: $139 billion in additional Drug Company profits over 8 years Percent Return: 315,900% Defense Contracting Most Presidents keep our Defense Contractors happy, but George is special. He's increased the defence budget, turned over lucrative government services to our companies and topped it all by destroying Iraq with our most expensive bombs and then paying us to re-build it! So while America gets more wars, less money for social programs, families and the future, we get $250 billion! Read more... Investment: $23.5 million in Defense Contractors' donations since 2000 to Republicans Return: Approximately $251 billion Percent Return: 1,068,000% Energy George is an oil man, Cheney is an oil man. We're all oil men! From Kyoto to Iraq, George has ensured that whether it's global warming or global peace, our profits come first. He even let us write his new energy bill and give ourselves $30 billion of your money in new subsidies. Read more... Investment: $108 million from Oil Companies since 2000 to Republicans Return: $30 billion Percent Return: 27,778% Workers' Overtime Coverage Overtime pay may keep millions of families afloat, but it sure costs us a lot of money! That's why George has fought the whining public and the Congress to remove 8 million workers' right to overtime pay, potentially saving us $1.9billion a year, forever! Read more... Investment: $6 million from Business Associations since 2000 to Republicans Return: $1.9 billion per year forever Percent Return: 31,667% per year Media Consolidation George knows the value of having media that'll make him look good, and we know the value of controlling what you think (and of making $billions doing it). Again, George has stood alone against a public outcry, a bi-partisan Congress and the foundations of America's democracy to ensure that our mega-media corporations can get even bigger. Read more... Investment: $25.7 million from media corps to Republicans since 2000 Return: Control over what every American thinks and buys — priceless Environment Once, governments fought to protect your health and preserve the environment for your children. Maybe they just didn't appreciate how much money could be made? But George does. He's undone decades of terrible, anti-Billionaire policies and fought hard for our rights to make billions polluting the air, endangering health and wrecking the natural world. Read more... Iraq War For years our "Bomb the Arabs and Steal Their Oil!" bumper sticker has gone unheeded. That is, until George came along. The Middle East has been a constant irritation to us Billionaires for decades. Finally we've gone in and taken control. WMD, human rights, whatever. We've got the oil and that means serious money. Dead US soldiers, dead Iraqis, enraged Muslim world, increased terrorist threats? As long as our profit margins are healthy, we'll make it through. There’s been much debate about the Iraq war, whether there were WMDs, whether it was justified on human rights grounds or not. We think there’s no need to complicate the issue. The Iraq War makes sound financial sense. At 115 billion barrels, Iraq has the world's second largest proven oil reserves (after Saudi Arabia). At a current price of approximately $45 per barrel that's 4,140 billion dollars. America is the world's largest consumer of crude oil, using more than 7 billion barrels in 2003. We need Iraq's oil. Our SUVs, Hummers, and stretch limousines need Iraq's oil. Our factories in America and foreign (non-unionized) countries need Iraq's oil. Yes, the price in American lives is real. But 1000 American dead and 13,000 Iraqis is a small price to pay for years of profits and prosperity. These dead soldiers are noble patriots, dying for our way of life. True, the Weapons of Mass Destruction were never found, but the oil is still there, and it's ours (once George signs that permanent Force Deployment Agreement with our new Iraqi government).
