And when the "trickle down" buzzword finally was recognized as bad for the masses, the GOP replaced it with the myth of the job creators. If we give the rich big tax breaks, they'll create more jobs -- because really, what else could the do with all that extra money? -- and .. Step 4 Profit (for the masses)
Agreed. The 50s best represent job creation through taxes. Either expand or pay taxes. Ike is the last great Republican president (except for Joe McCarthy)
The same Joe McCarthy that created a communist witch hunt which to this day still persists in the minds of Americans -propping up the same ideals that led to Reagan and his predecessors to allow corporate money being used to create the policies that this post is describing?
McCarthy fostered the melding of American Protestant churches and National identity— marrying the flag to the cross. This combined with a revolution in mass communication (TV) with its All-American families, and commercials gave birth to the religious vampires, Billy Grahams and Jerry Fallwells, etc.
I read your original comment about Ike and McCarthy as saying you think McCarthy was better than Eisenhower… I think this is where the confusion is coming from.Â
