Put aside any personal politics and take advantage of this deal. The tickets, which are available for every regular CSO subscription concert this season, are on the perimeter of the main floor and in the gallery - not the greatest seats in the house, but unless you're a student, this is as cheap as seeing the CSO is going to get. The discounted tickets can be purchased online by using the promotional code "2016." If you're old-fashioned, feel free to call the box office or buy them in person.
Additionally, from today through Sunday, the CSO is giving away mp3s of the Olympic Anthem, the national anthem, and "Stars and Stripes Forever," performed by the CSO and conducted by Sir Georg Solti, which can be download from the CSO's website. You can listen to them on that iPod Bush gave you.

Actually, thanks to Bush's pro-wealthy tax cuts, the lowest 47% of people in the country pay $0 in federal income tax, up from about 39% when Clinton was president. There are plenty of worthwhile criticisms of the Bush administration. This is not one of them.
If you are worried about taxes hitting poor people hard, look no further than the sales tax increases Stroger (D-Chicago), Daley (D-Chicago) and Blagojevich (D-Chicago) have pushed through since 2005. These regressive taxes inevitably cost the poor a higher percentage of their taxes.
Also, the IPod came out late October 2001, so it is quite likely you did not think of buying one, given you almost certainly got your check before it was available.
Finally, the CSO is giving a free performance on Saturday October 17th. You do not have to be a student, although if you get a ticket there is a $1 handling fee, still $19.16 less than the sale above.
I really don't get the connection between an ipod from the president and a cheap concert.
maybe i am blind, but i'm not seeing where to download those songs on their site. and i tried to do a search on their site and all i came up with was the press release saying that the songs could be downloaded. so frustrating.
