For those who saw Barack Obama as walking in the footsteps of John F. Kennedy, and who thought that the (D) after politicians’ names was a static indicator of their opinions and controllers, I refer you to these statements made by JFK in 1963.

January 17th, 1963:

“Lower rates of taxation will stimulate economic activity and so raise the levels of personal and corporate income as to yield within a few years an increased – not a reduced – flow of revenues to the federal government.”

January 21st, 1963:

“It is no contradiction – the most important single thing we can do to stimulate investment in today’s economy is to raise consumption by major reduction of individual income tax rates.”

Or, we could get rid of the whole scam all together and stimulate the economy while spending zero money and raising government revenue. Just sayin’.
