Failed Policies Puts Himself First - and the Middle Class Last In a new ad today released by the Bush campaign, Jeb Bush reminds Granite Staters what to expect from a Bush presidency: that Jeb Bush will put himself and people like him over everyday Americans, and that he will continue to recycle the failed policies of the past that leave the middle class behind. "Jeb Bush's economic policies are, and have always been, geared towards helping those at the very top. As governor of Florida, Jeb Bush slashed taxes by billions, largely benefitting the wealthy and corporations, and since leaving office, he has leveraged his family name to reap profits for himself and cashed in on Wall Street. We already know what to expect from a Bush presidency because we have experienced it before - disastrous economic and foreign policies that made us weaker at home and abroad. We can't afford another Bush, or the top-down Bush policies, in the White House." - DNC spokeswoman Christina Freundlich Claim Fact BUSH: We have an important choice to make about the direction of our country. If you want more DC politicians, or more self-promoters, you've got options. I'm offering something different. Leadership, ideas, and a proven conservative record.

"But the issue that most directly affected Floridians' income was [Jeb] Bush's tax policy, and in that area, the richest slice of Floridians benefited the most. Bush ultimately succeeded in eliminating a tax on stocks, bonds and other financial instruments. But because savings and checking accounts, retirement accounts, and investment holdings totaling less than $60,000 for a married couple were exempt, the tax was actually borne by the wealthiest 4.6 percent of residents-those rich enough to have substantial investments outside of their 401(k)s and IRAs. In a state without an income tax, it was the only progressive levy Florida had."

"Data compiled by Tax Analysts show that cuts in intangibles taxes were by far the largest component of legislated revenue reductions enacted during Jeb Bush's eight years as governor. Official estimates of revenue legislation in Florida cover the first two years of enactment. Figure 1 divides those two-year estimates of legislation enacted in each year into two categories: reduction in the intangibles tax and all other revenue legislation. Figure 2 sums up over eight years the estimates shown in Figure 1. Cuts in the intangibles taxes were three times larger than cuts in any other category. Cuts in intangibles taxes were larger than the combined cuts in sales taxes, property taxes, and the corporate tax."

"TAX BREAKS Bush wants to give Floridians the second-largest tax break in state history - a $578 million package including a weeklong tax-free shopping holiday, repeal of a per-drink tax on alcohol and a continued phaseout of the intangible tax on stocks, bonds and notes held largely by well-off investors. Lawmakers also want to make more goods tax-free - from baby and adult diapers, infant car seats and smoke detectors to the kibble greyhounds eat."

"Over the last two decades or so more of the wealth generated in Florida is going to fewer families. The incomes of the top 5% of families have risen by 56%, while the increase for the bottom 20% has been 15%, slightly less than the increase for middle income families of 16%. The gap between the wealthiest and poorest families has been widening. In 1987-1989 the average income of the top 5% was 9.4 times the bottom 20%, and by 2004-2006 it had grown to 12.6 times."

"Running for re-election last year, Gov. Scott never let a day pass without reminding voters that he had paid down Florida's outstanding debt, in contrast to rival Charlie Crist. 'Crist maxed out the state credit card. Scott reduced state debt by $3 billion,' one TV ad intoned, noting that debt rose by $5.2 billion while Crist was governor during the global recession. Paying down Florida's debt is not something Bush can boast about. While he was in office, Florida's outstanding debt rose from $15 billion to more than $23 billion. The state's annual debt service payments rose from $928 million to $1.7 billion. 'There's no question he was a borrow-and-spend conservative. That's who he was,' said former state Sen. Dan Gelber of Miami Beach, a Democrat who contends Bush was much more a genuine social conservative than a fiscal conservative."

"It is a 'huge stretch' for Bush to hold up Florida's growth as a model for the country, said Stan Veuger, an economist at the conservative American Enterprise Institute who is not affiliated with any presidential campaign.

"Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush says he can deliver 4% annual economic growth as president - about twice as fast as the U.S. has been growing recently. Why is he so confident? During his 1999-2007 tenure as governor, Florida grew 4.4%, his campaign boasts. Today it even unveiled a cute graphic illustrating the claim. The trouble is, say some economists, Gov. Bush's Florida growth record was based in large part on a housing bubble - national in scope but particularly frothy in Florida - that exploded the year he left office in 2007."
