First and foremost, tax money is what allows your friend "GWB" to do the things he does, so worrying about taxes is a very, very good idea, whether you're liberal or conservative. When we're "going down the tubes" as you put it it's the people who are spending your tax money who are generally expected to fix whatever the problem is, so yeah...we worry about our taxes.Secondly, Liberals tend to raise taxes. Conservatives (actual conservatives, not neocons - we don't like neocons) tend to cut taxes. Because of the progressive curve of our taxes those cuts naturally favor the rich. You can't cut taxes on a very hefty chunk of the US population because they already aren't paying any. Tax cuts for the middle class produce small amounts of economic stimulation as consumers have more money to spend, meaning that middle-class cuts are employed in areas with weakening commercial economies. Tax cuts for the rich are meant to give investment capital back to the people who will use it to create companies and therefore jobs, which has the benefit of strengthening the economy. The more money they have the more companies they can make and the more jobs they produce so that people in the lower and middle classes can earn livings and potentially gain enough money to create their own enterprise and rise up to become rich themselves.
