attitude towards business and politics.
The Republicans want a US economy that delivers all its wealth straight to the top. As we know from the Great Depression, that is incredibly inefficient.
Had it not been for FDR doing the right thing (shifiting wealth down) and WWII ravaging America's industrial competition, thus ensuring there was no competition for the US, the US would have become a banana republic under the exact same economic policies from the 20s which the Republicans are trying to revive under Bush.
The last thing Bush wants is a competitive Europe which would foce the US to stop shifting wealth straight to the top (and this is also why Bush wants to have wars too -- it's to destabilize the rest of the world as WWII did 60 years ago).
