back shortly after the Big Bang...

Well, Dems used to be FOR tax cuts. JFK in the 60s. Of course, that's ancient history before the party was completely co-opted by the "gimmie groups" who traded votes for targeted (to them) give away programs. I remember being FOR Bill Clinton around 1988 as I perceived him as a fiscal moderate or conservative. Back in 92, Paul Tsongas (D, MA) ran for president as a fiscally conservative tax-cutting Dem. Won the NH primary & lost to Clinton in NY. Had zero campaign money. The late Paul Tsongas, a person of unusual character was the last Dem I ever worked for.
