Yet that image always obscured the reality — Bush’s tax cuts were very popular with voters across-the-board. In fact, partly because of those tax cuts, Bush emergedas the president whose policies most closely matched public preferences, including the preferences of the poor.

Indeed, when Bush agreed to a bipartisan immigration bill that corporations favored, but the right hated, it was the businesses that lost.
