I agree with this part:

"If the economy today were operating close to capacity levels with little unemployment, or if a sudden change in our military requirements should cause a scramble for men and resources, then I would oppose tax reductions as irresponsible and inflationary -- and I would not hesitate to recommend a tax increase, if that were necessary."

He use the phrase,"if that were ne

In no way does that mean he would be for today's ridiculously low effective rates on the rich and giant corps.

US corporations pay the high end of taxes compared to the rest of the World.
No one knows how kennedy would respond today.

Given that we have massive debt from 4 wars we didn't pay for since 1980, I'd say he'd consider that necessary.

The idea that Kennedy's tax cuts justify further tax cuts is nonsense. We are now at levels 30 or 40% lower than where Kennedy took taxes;

you cannot rationally compare 2016 to 1962.

Let's say you have a guy who weighs 300 lbs and wants to lose 150 lbs. So he goes on a diet and miraculously reaches his goal. 150. And then he says gee, I'm so much better off now, I'm going to lose another 150 lbs!

That's how the tax cut talk goes with conservatives.

Oh, and btw, Donald Trump's proposals of massive tax cuts and massive increases in defense spending,

Kennedy would never support that today, based on what I posted above...

...from the speech YOU cited.

Would you give me this weeks winning lotto numbers

I gave you logical conclusions based on the facts.

LOL, nothing you have ever posted has been logical or factual. you are a poster of dem/lib talking points, nothing more.

Note that he gave up trying to argue with facts.

Kennedy was not a great president. He was average at best. Can we please stop worshiping this womanizing douche? If he would have lived he would have served his term and people would have already forgotten him.

As opposed to Raygun, whose pander to the rich tax rates and ME meddling are ruining us to this day. Kennedy probably would have kept us out of the Vietnam catastrophe, had a landslide against Goldwater, passed the Civil Rights bill, and passed more reform instead of Vietnam. He was loved throughout the world. The assassinations of him, RFK, and MLK were catastrophes for the country...

 

[rightwinger]

Since Kennedy is so "conservative" on taxes

Are you willing to accept his 77% tax rate on the wealthy?

I would gladly accept JFKs proposed tax of 77%

Wouldn't you?

In those days the tax code was full of exemptions and deductions, no one ever paid anywhere close to 77%.

You are correct...they may have paid 50% effective rate

Now they pay 14%

wrong, the people paying 14% today were paying 14% or less in the 1960s. BUT, in the 1960s virtually everyone was paying some federal income tax, today half of our people pay nothing, but get thousands in govt freebees. Do you think that makes for a healthy society?

Donald Trump is in that half that pays nothing

Do you think that makes for a healthy society?

JFKs first two years were a bust
His third year he made good progress

LBJ executed much of JFKs agenda

1. did he write the tax code? NO
2. did he violate any tax laws? NO
3. Do all rich people of both parties use the tax code to their advantage? YES
4. Do all middle and lower class use the tax code to their advantage? YES

Your issue is not with Trump and rich people, your issue is with the corrupt assholes in congress who made the tax laws to benefit the people who fund their campaigns.

For once, try to see the issue for what it really is and stop the partisan bullshit.

Funny, were you alive in those days? Kennedy was killed because he took on the establishment. LBJ might as well have pulled the trigger himself.

None of the other 47 percent wrote the tax code, nor violated the law

Yet the others are villainized by conservatives

I sure hope that Trump is the next JFK president.JFK was our last REAL president we had because unlike all the others since him,he served the people instead of the bankers which is why they killed him and all the others since him have all stayed alive.will trump be the next president sot stand up to the bankers and reinstate JFK's executive order that was going to end the fed that no president has reinstated since? I sure hope so but I have a hard time believing it.

"ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country"

Is there any democrat or liberal in the USA today that would say those words? Or is there any democrat or liberal in the USA today that believes those words?

The democrat party has become the party of huge government and dictatorial socialism. Kennedy and Truman would be republicans if they were alive today.

That's okay.

The Republican party nominated and elected a Democratic New York liberal serial adulterer who opposed the Iraq war, opposed the surge, wanted George Bush impeached, is a close personal friend of the Clintons who felt Bill was a great President, supports an AWB and Universal Health Care, and whose tax plan will add up to $10 trillion to the debt.

In short, the Chumps have become EVERYTHING they hated.

You say that…

As your nominee has paid $0.00 in Federal Income Taxes, says he was “brilliant” for doing that, and such sentiment is echoed here all the time by his enablers.
