A Democrat President, on Taxes, 1962
— Dave in Texas

Heard this one on Levin this afternoon on my way home from the airport, but I had heard it before, just seems timely and all.

What was the plan here, to encourage economic recovery, and growth? For the national interest? I think he was saying we should cut taxes, call me crazy and dip my nuts, did I hear that right?

So how badly did Kennedy's tax cuts impair federal revenues? "Tax revenues climbed from $94 billion in 1961 to $153 billion in 1968, an increase of 62 percent (33 percent after adjusting for inflation)."

Well darndy darn. It's almost as if a healthy economy is better than punishing a badly damaged one with tax increases.

Stupid math.

OH! Also, the Giants, they're goin down. You know why? Because I picked em to win against the points that's why.

Kiss of death. Davepick.

4 However.....

Cutting taxes just to raise revenue is not fair. Results do not matter, it's what you intend that counts.

Just ask ANY 2011 Democrat.

5 Well I was informed over at the Daily Kos that the concept that tax cuts lead to job growth is a myth started by the Koch brothers. So there.

Posted by: sifty at September 19, 2011 04:23 PM (4CSeG)

16 Yeah, but JFK also signed an EO allowing for the unionizing of Federal employees, which clearly did longer term damage than his tax cut.

Posted by: ontherocks at September 19, 2011 04:23 PM (HBqDo)

17 Yeah, but Kennedy's sekrit plan wasn't to destroy the country whereas Obama's plan doesn't look so sekrit anymore.

20 JFK popped so many pills he rattled when he walked. He cheated on his wife. His foreign policy depended on what drugs he was on and who was in the room at the time.

About the only thing he got right was these tax cuts.

We were lucky to live through his term.

The modern democrat party would have no room in it for Hubert Humphrey, Scoop Jackson, Howard Baker, or Patrick Moynihan. In other words, anyone who has 2 or more brain cells to rub together.

41 Mika and Joe Scarborough last week briefly alluded to Jackie O's opinion of Saint Martin Luther King. They giggled a little, asked if they really wanted to go there, and very quickly moved on to the next topic of discussion. I wonder if it occurred to them that their little act of self-censorship eroded their precious First Amendment rights. Did thousands of American boys from places like Iowa and Minnesota die on the beaches of Normandy so that chickenshits like Mika and Joe could so casually subject themselves to PC censorship? It's really obscene.

Yes, somehow Fair became the Weak, preying on the strong...

The not successful, taking from the successful, because of their weakness...

Sadly, the weak feel SAFE in bullying the strong... because society has given them leave to do so... and then often even celebrates it...

I for one, am tired of it... I will no longer be bullied by Political Correctness... I will no longer allow myself to remain silent, while lesser intellects yell and scream about how THEY think I should live my life.

I will no longer allow an all BLACK or HISPANIC group, whose membership is based ONLY on Race, to call me a Racist.

I will no longer allow Womens groups, who wish to defy physics, dictate how strong I can be as a Man.

I will no longer allow Environmentalists, who liter and pollute, to tell me how I must live.

I will no longer allow people to tell ME what I should eat, when I am more healthy, and stronger, than them (pet peeve right now, got three out of shape women all telling me, who at 52 runs, lifts, skis, swims and Fences, how I should excercise and eat...)...

I will no longer allow the Clueless, to tell me what I should think...

Kennedy was also not quite a non-stuttering clusterfuck, but his myth needs to be exploded. True fact: the PT-109 incident almost got him courtmartialed for dereliction of duty.

There was that a intervew a few years ago where he was talking about capital gains taxes. He said he would prefer higher rates even if lower rates brought more revenue in the interests of fairness.

Posted by: sifty at September 19, 2011 09:19 PM (4CSeG) I recall some strange comedy routine where a black comedienne was doing a routine about this: "My name is Shakwanda. But my friends call me--(goes into kung fu sounds).

106 True fact: the PT-109 incident almost got him courtmartialed for dereliction of duty. Guess who the judge was who got him off the hook:

THURGOOD MARSHALL.

Do the math.

He was rewarded with a Supreme Court nomination. In all fairness, I was told this by a VERY knowledgeable friend, so I will try and find out more. Not sure if I can post tonight. Do the research, unless it's been scrubbed.

111 Back during the campaign, Obama said he'd still support an increase in the capital gains tax even if it resulted in a decrease in revenue because "fairness" was more important. So now he's just following up on that.

Just checked Wikipedia (yeah, yeah). No mention of military service. Kennedy appointed Marshall to the Court of Appeals. Johnson appointed him to SCOTUS.

Marshall was counsel for the NAACP up until 1961 and was famous for arguing Brown vs Board of Education.

137 Some bastard keeps putting a Washington Post newspaper in the middle of my building's floor. We tenants then have to kick it out of our way and into the way of someone else's door. How annoying! Every day for a week now, this miscreant has been leaving his WaPos around like trash, in their little plastic bags! Finally the maintenance man takes it away every evening, but the kicking every morning is getting on my nerves...and then kicking it out of the way again when I come home? Ugh.

That worked well in a time when the Soviet Union kept jobs in the United States. No one with half a brain would outsource to a foreign factory when the threat of a communist insurrection put their capital investment at risk.

Now the globalists own the world. You could cut the tax rate to zero and they still won't invest in jobs here. Not at higher salaries they won't.

Do the research, unless it's been scrubbed. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at September 19, 2011 09:25 PM (UlUS4) I stand corrected. It was Justice Byron White whom Kennedy appointed to SCOTUS. He wrote the naval intelligence report on the sinking of the PT-109 and it was Joe Kennedy who bought him off. I believe there's a book entitled "Reckless Youth" that gives the details. In any case, JFK may not have been a SCOAMF, but after losing Cuba, derailing civil rights, getting us embroiled in Vietnam and nearly stumbling into World War 3 (not to mention the dalliances that make Clinton look like an amateur and his daddy's miserable megalomania), he definitely was a COAF and a total media fabrication. Camelot was a myth that really needs explosion.
