It is AMAZING how uninformed the majority of the American public is about US history! That's especially true of our indoctrinated and under-educated youth. Progressive Democrats argue that they're responsible for the 8-hour work day, child-labor laws, women's suffrage, and civil rights for blacks. They are liars. I wrote an article several years ago, explaining that terms like "liberal" and "conservative" are both time-sensitive and culture-sensitive. What was "liberal" in 1910 might well be considered "conservative" in 2013. Economics, however, is more a matter of intelligence and experience than one related to time and and culture. Regarding "economics" (and many other things), John F. Kennedy would be considered a conservative in today's political world!
JFK was a very intelligent man, and he understood economics. Conservatives today argue strongly for low personal and corporate taxes, and Democrats accuse us of loving the rich and hating the poor. Like we conservatives, JFK also argued for reductions in taxes, and he knew exactly WHY such a policy was best for ALL Americans. John F. Kennedy considered those who supported high taxes to be uninformed idiots. He uderstood that the justification for less taxation is overwhelming. He was interviewed by Huntley and Brinkley prior to passing his historic tax-cutting bill. In that interview he explained the concept better than most conservative politicians explain it today. The interview was fairly long, and included discussion of Vietnam as well. If you begin the linked video at the 6:55 minute point, you can view Kennedy's economic argument for yourself. http://blogs.app.com/politicspatrol...eybrinkley-give-jfk-a-second-shot-at-answers/
