Man: Heads up...he's coming this way! Try not to make eye contact. Cowboy Hat/Bush Jr.: Hi, fellahs! I'm George Bush and I'm asking for your support! If you vote for me, I'll give you a huge tax cut! How's that for a straight deal, huh? Man: Well, I'm not sure... I mean, I can see how the wealthy might get excited - they'd be averaging $50,000 - but it wouldn't mean much to a guy in my bracket. Besides, I care a lot more about shoring up social security and medicare and paying down our national debt. Second man: Yeah, didn't fiscal responsibility use to be a republican issue? Cowboy Hat/Bush Jr.: But...but you don't understand! I'm offering you something for nothing! Free money! Don't you want free money? Man: Sure but not until we pay our bills. Right. Cowboy Hat/Bush Jr.: What is the matter with this country? Man: I guess we've grown up a lot as a people. Second man: I know I have.
