Question

question 2 of 10
what was one intention of the bush tax cuts?
a. to raise middle-class taxes
b. to benefit high-income people
c. to raise the national debt
d. to promote job creation

Explanation:

The Bush tax cuts (officially the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 and the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003) were framed with stated goals including stimulating economic activity, which included promoting job creation. Option A is incorrect as the cuts lowered, not raised, middle-class taxes. Option B is a consequence but not a stated intention, while Option C was an unintended outcome, not an intention.

Answer:

D. To promote job creation
