I've got a few questions for Mr. Bush. Perhaps they will ask these during the debates (if they have them at all):

Dear Mr. Bush:
You advocated tax cuts in order to create jobs. In 2003 you and Vice President Cheney together earned more money in 2003 than you did in 2002. Due mainly to the tax cuts, the Republicans pushed through, you paid $129,276 less in federal taxes in 2003 than you did in 2002.

Here are my questions.

- How did putting an extra $129,276 in your pockets help U.S. employment?
- Did you use the windfall to hire anyone?
- Or maybe, it's as the White House Web site describes, tax cuts are to increase 'consumer spending . . . to boost the economic recovery and create jobs.' So what did you and Cheney buy with the money?
- Did you buy something that was made in the USA or China?
