Bush is about as far from Marxism as is humanly possible. He may very well be a totalitarian and almost certainly a fascist (meaning that he favors the good of the state over that of the individual), but he does not believe in redistributive economics. Further, he does not appear to be attempting to make us dependent on "government handouts", as he is opposed to the existence of such handouts. Also, why is it a bad thing that he is reducing our weapons stockpiles? 1,700 nukes will do plenty of damage, and I don't think that we'll ever say "We could really use an extra, oh, 5.5 GIGATONS of nuclear weapons about now." Besides, Dubya can't be a traitor if he controls the nation. A despot, yes, but not a traitor.
