So, that must mean that the Johnson programs resulted in less people classified as "poverty," right?
Millions of Americans have used government programs to escape poverty. There are few formerly poor Americans that did not use at least some of the programs
Bull shit. How did they do that? How did a government program help one person escape poverty? Everyone I know that escaped poverty did it with their own two hands. Everyone I know that is in poverty got there with the government's help.
Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. Yeah that statement is only for the rich republicans. For the democrats that has been replaced with tell us what your country can do for you, belly up to the trough for free money, the drinks are on the house!
It continues to amaze me how conservatives misrepresent that statement to meet their twisted agenda. "Ask not what your country can do for you" was not a condemnation of social programs but a call for public service. It was used to help launch the Peace Corps
In fact, in his same Inaugural address, JFK spoke of a public obligation to help the poor
Yes it was a call for the people to do something for the government because the Government had given much to them.
President Kennedy was a Conservative Democrat compared to his brother Ted Kenney who was a liberal.
What is the difference between a Conservative Dem and a Liberal Dem?
Conservative Dems fund the social programs with the money that is already there.
Liberal Dems don't figure in the funding, add more people on the programs and then kick the can down the road. Then they want to fix the funding much later on by very high taxes.
President Kennedy was more like Bush Jr. on taxes.
President Kenney wanted to reduce income taxes from 20-90% to 14-65%
He wanted to reduce the Corp tax from 52% to 47%.
He also said the soundest way to raise revenue in the long term is to lower rates now.
Millions of Americans have used government programs to escape poverty. There are few formerly poor Americans that did not use at least some of the programs
But there is a FAR greater percentage of Americans in poverty today than there were before Johnson's programs.
That's what you socialists call "success."
If you socialists ever try to "help" with infant mortality, you'll deem "success" as reducing the rate from the current 2% down to 35% - just as you've done with poverty.

Since we are talking feds, I'll assume by government you meant federal.Millions of Americans have used government programs to escape poverty. There are few formerly poor Americans that did not use at least some of the programs

Government programs allow people to survive while they are getting back on their feet. Food, Shelter, Healthcare
Government programs also provide education, jobs training, childcare while you work or go to school. job placement services

>>> Federal Government programs allow people to survive while they are getting back on their feet. Food, Shelter, Healthcare
So do local food banks, shelters, and free clinics. Can you explain the difference between federal programs for same and local programs? From what I can tell the primary difference is federal programs are unlimited in duration and not designed to wean people off assistance, by contrast they are designed to make people permanently dependent.
>>> Federal Government programs also provide education, jobs training, childcare while you work or go to school. job placement services
I can get all of that for free on the internet. Why do we need hundreds of MASSIVE duplicate federal programs to provide education and jobs training for jobs that are being off-shored?

Wrong. Federal government is based in DC. State government is based in state capitals. Local government is based in your county seat and/or city. The closer you get to home the closer you get to people who do things based on a desire for results. The farther you get from home the closer you get to people who do things based on a desire for wealth and power. There is no accountability for money spent by the feds. NONE. Money spent locally is more often than not money that is looked at more carefully. I can live in a conservative town in a conservative state and have much better return on my tax dollars than people who live in liberal towns in liberal states.
What I despise is my hard earned tax dollars being pissed away by idiots in DC voted in by a majority of idiots in democrat inner cities.
We live in a REPUBLIC. Social programs should be reserved to the states not forced on us federally. You want to piss away the economy of this country? Why?
Detroit is a shinning example of where the democrats are attempting to take the entire country.

I'm sure current Democrats would be content with taxes 14-65%
and corporate rates at 47%
Would that make them Republicans?

Exactly !
Before President Johnson welfare program there were 39 million Americans in poverty.
Today there are 43.6 million in poverty.
So much for Johnson war on poverty that was suppose to end it. The program has increased it.
We have 46.6 million on food stamps up by 77% in 5 years.
Government hand outs causes more dependency and does not help to get the poor out of poverty.
Yes it was a call for the people to do something for the government because the Government had given much to them.

You missed the point entirely.
. If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal."

Tell me about how JFK would be a Republican today
Because the democrat policies of welfare through socialist programs of redistribution have nothing to do with improving the welfare of the people you dolt.
Of course they do
Johnsons Great Society programs were a continuation of JFKs policies and were sold as his legacy
dolt
Because he was rich and privileged -- and would gain no political advantage by being a Democrat in today's world?Tell me about how JFK would be a Republican today

When Johnson was selling his War on Poverty programs he showed reporters families that lived in shacks with no electricity, no running water, outhouses, no heat.....children wearing rags and no shoes
You would be hard pressed to find that standard of poverty today
