"Say what you will, but he (JFK) was no commie".

Ah, but he was a steely-eyed, opportunistic socialist....the step directly preceeding communism.

He was a hell of a lot better than Johnson. Plus JFK from what I know off him knew about the issues of having high taxes concerning economic growth and was against high taxes.

JFk was an idealist, LBJ was an opportunist and a wickedly smart one at that.

LBJ gave use the “New Deal 2.0” while I think JFK would have given us the “New Deal 1.1” Johnson did his new deal the “great Society” as a mean for him to cement his power and that is what made him so damned dangerous as he was far more Machiavellian that JFK.
