The fascinating, suppressed history of how JFK pioneered supply-side economics.John F. Kennedy was the first president since the 1920s to slash tax rates across-the-board. He was essentially the first supply-sider. Sadly, today's Democrats have ignored JFK's tax-cut legacy and have opted instead for an anti-growth, tax-hiking redistribution program, undermining America's economy. According to liberal conventional wisdom, "the great postwar prosperity" - the most cherished period of American economic history - came because we were smart enough to tax the rich at very high rates, expand government spending, and redistribute wealth. Yet in fact, the opposite is true. As JFK realized, high taxes that punished success and fanned class warfare harmed the economy.
