“A tax cut means higher family income and higher business profits and a balanced federal budget… As the national income grows, the federal government will ultimately end up with more revenues. Prosperity is the real way to balance our budget. By lowering tax rates, by increasing jobs and income, we can expand tax revenues and finally bring out budget into balance.”
– John F. Kennedy
But then, JFK wasn’t the average Democrat you see today acting like a bunch of parading animals. Back then there was none of this brinksmanship shit we see now.
