THEN & NOW: Bush on Tax Enforcement

THEN:
“[I want] to make sure that tax cheaters are found, make sure the IRS gets after those who don't pay taxes; make sure that the system is fair for those of us who do pay taxes. We want everybody paying their fair share.”
- George W. Bush, 4/15/04

NOW:
“The really rich people figure out how to dodge taxes anyway.”
- George W. Bush, 8/9/04

At least he's telling us the truth now about his attitude toward his rich friends ripping off the government, while the rest of us get stuck having to pay our fair share. Not surprisingly, under Bush audits of wealthy corporations have dropped, while audits of individuals and working families have increased.
