1) FIRST, Dubya Bush gives the rich the largest tax cut in history...

2) THEN, the economy tanks into huge recession, hemorrhaging 100,000's of jobs, vaporizing pensions and investments and retirement savings, and crashing the housing and automobile industries.

Continuing on...

3) THEN, Obama was elected (after the economy tanked, not before).

4) AND THEN, during the next election cycle, the rich cast themselves as "Job Creators" and claimed they needed tax cuts to "create jobs."

And that brings us to...

5) GO TO #1.
