JFK wouldn't be a Democrap today

[GoneBezerk]

JFK was strong on national defense and for cutting taxes to stimulate economic growth, foreign ideas to liberals ruining the Democraps today.

This fiscal cliff debate is over raising taxes on working people and slashing the DoD budget in the middle of a war against worldwide terrorism that killed more Americans on US soil than previous all modern era wars combined.

So no liberal on this board should ever try to use JFK in your arguments here, he wouldn't be with you today.

By that same standard, Eisenhower, Nixon and even Reagan wouldn't be welcome in the batshit crazy insane asylum that is the TeaBagging party.

That is not to say that he might have had different opinions today.

 

[GoneBezerk]

Idiot, JFK realized tax rates needed to fall to simulate the economy, something you don't claim. So idiot, JFK would laugh at you wanting to raise them again in this economy and when our society is different today.

More people own their homes compared to when JFK was living, more people own personal luxury items like HDTVs, smartphones, etc. The 1960s....people were more poor than people today that are claimed to be poor.

Advances in phones, computers, etc happened in the 80s....when Reagan was pushing for lower tax rates and supply side economics. Technology goes hand in hand with R&D from investment, mostly private and some public. You harm investment according to JFK when you raise taxes......see simpleton. Carter would've prevented Silicone Valley if he beat Reagan.....no Apple and Microsoft today perhaps.

[Truthmatters]

there is a time to raise taxes and a time to cut taxes.


they are already at historic lows

 

[GoneBezerk]

JFK cut taxes to stimulate the economy.....obamination is raising them in a recession.

JFK supported a strong national defense even got us tangled up in Vietnam.....obamination is slashing close to $1T from national defense while he grows entitlements even more.

JFK supported NASA which led to us going to the moon.....obamination has pretty much turned NASA into a "muslim outreach" program.

You are fucking insane.

Let's look at the entire JFK agenda,

New Frontier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Let's just detail one portion of the 'New Frontier' link I posted:

Welfare

Unemployment and welfare benefits were expanded.[26]

In 1961, Social Security benefits were increased by 20% and provision for early retirement was introduced, enabling workers to retire at the age of sixty-two while receiving partial benefits.[27]

The Social Security Amendments of 1961 permitted male workers to elect early retirement age 62, increased minimum benefits, liberalized the benefit payments to aged widow, widower, or surviving dependent parent, and also liberalized eligibility requirements and the retirement test.[28]

The 1962 amendments to the Social Security Act authorized the federal government to reimburse states for the provision of social services.[29]

The School Lunch Act was amended for authority to begin providing free meals in poverty-stricken areas.[5]

A pilot food stamp program was launched (1961), covering six areas in the United States. In 1962, the program was extended to eighteen areas, feeding 240,000 people.[30]

The Self-Employed Individuals Tax Retirement Act of 1962 provided self-employed people with a tax postponement for income set aside in qualified pension plans.[28]

Various school lunch and school milk programs were extended, “enabling 700,000 more children to enjoy a hot school lunch and eighty-five thousand more schools, child care centers, and camps to receive fresh milk”.[30]

ADC was extended to whole families (1961).[31]

Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) replaced the Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) program, as coverage was extended to adults caring for dependent children.[30]

A major revision of the public welfare laws was carried out, with a $300 million modernisation which emphasised rehabilitation instead of relief”.[6]

A temporary antirecession supplement to unemployment compensation was introduced.[6]

Food distribution to needy Americans was increased.[6] In January 1961, the first executive order issued by Kennedy mandated that the Department of Agriculture increase the quantity and variety of foods donated for needy households. This executive order represented a shift in the Commodity Distribution Programs’ primary purpose, from surplus disposal to that of providing nutritious foods to low-income households.[32]

Social Security benefits were extended to an additional five million Americans.[26]
The Self-Employed Individuals Tax Retirement Act (1962) provided self-employed people with a tax postponement for income set aside in qualified pension plans.[28]

The Public Welfare Amendments of 1962 provided for greater Federal sharing in the cost of rehabilitative services to applicants, recipients, and persons likely to become applicants for public assistance. It increased the Federal share in the cost of public assistance payments, and permitted the States to combine the various categories into one category. The amendments also made permanent the 1961 amendment which extended aid to dependent children to cover children removed from unsuitable homes.[28]

Federal funds were made available for the payment of foster care costs for AFDC-eligible children who had come into state custody.[33]

An act was approved (1963) which extended for one year the period during which responsibility for the placement and foster care of dependent children, under the program of aid to families with dependent children under Title IV of the Social Security Act.[28]

Federal civil service retirement benefits were index-linked to changes in the Consumer Price Index (1962).[34]

That JFK would be a Republican today?? THAT JFK?

The OP is gravely challenged.

Dumbfuck....America was poorer back in the 60s, so entitlement programs were needed. Entitlement programs have now grown into their own disaster.

JFK would not keep raising taxes to feed the entitlement monster scum like you live off today.

Oh, cutting and pasting wikipedia is violating copyright laws, but you break all kinds of laws I'm sure.
