This kind of stuff doesn’t happen as an accident. Making mistakes in speeches and minor mistakes like that are understandable and happen to the best of us. Citing economic forecasts that don’t exist to push one’s economic plan is fraudulent, and shows a great lack of respect for the intelligence of the American people:

Editor: Bush Cited Report That Doesn’t Exist
Bush talks about how it is wrong to double tax income, and wants to cut taxes on earnings from dividends to avoid that money being taxed.
What about all the salaries that people receive that are double taxed? If you really want to help the average American and not just the rich, reduce taxes on income rather than eliminating the tax on dividends. I am not biased in this matter. #1 I don’t live in the U.S. now. #2 I run my own (sole proprietorship) company, and therefore do not receive a salary from a company. I would be more likely to be taxed on capital gains or dividends.
