I'm not avoiding anything. Bush came into power just as the Tech bubble burst. He saw a across the board tax cut as a way to keep the economy perking.

That's revisionist history. The Bush tax cuts were a result of government surpluses leftover from the Clinton years. Bush and his administration believed that if the government had more revenue than needed, then American citizens were being taxed too much, hence the cut (Clinton wanted to use the surplus to pay down the national debt).
