I would like to say that Bush really believes that the government is too large and that is the reason for the cuts, but it's hard to make that argument given his spending habits. So, you may be right, it may be primarily politically driven.

Real Question: Why do supply-siders only emphasize tax cuts for the upper classes? Wouldn't a middle-class tax cut be more beneficial for the economy as a whole (and in the long run)? Both for the middle and upper classes? Or is that more of a deman-side theory? The middle-class is the class that spends all of their money on stupid conspicuous goods, so wouldn't we want them to buy more of these?
