“JFK’s voting record in Congress regarding proposed federal government activity:
- supported unconstitutional civil rights,
- supported unconstitutional labor rights,
- supported unconstitutional federal aid to education,
- supported unconstitutional public housing,
- supported foreign aid,
- supported unconstitutional minimum-wage increases,
- supported unconstitutional extensions of unemployment insurance,
- supported unconstitutional Social Security expansion”
If you look a Ronald Reagan’s record as Governor of California and President he also supported civil rights, aid to education, social security etc.
Like Reagan and unlike almost all liberals JFK supported:
Strong Defense
Anti-communist policies
Cutting the marginal income tax rates
Reducing and eliminating government regulations
A well funded space program
Reduced size of government
JFK was far from perfect.
But his policies were conservative for the most part.
Ronald Reagan was a former Democrat going to the Right. JFK was a Leftist in training.
