If we bring back the high tax rates of the Eisenhower years, should we also bring back....?

Question

prayer and displays of the Ten Commandments in public schools, laws against abortion and stigma against unwed motherhood, strict border enforcement and deporting illegal immigrants, and get rid of affirmative action, welfare, the EPA, Medicare and Medicaid?

Should we bring back the TRADE SURPLUS, too? Hey, remember we were a creditor nation then, until Carter lost our trade surplus and we became a debtor nation a few years later because of that.

If we want to bring back the Eisenhower years, we can't pick and choose, We have to bring back ALL OF IT.

Answer 1

Yes, bring it all back or none of it. Don't cherry pick! I'd say many of the other factors you list had more of an impact. Do they have affirmative action programs in China? No.



Also, much of the rest of the industrialized world was a lump of smoking ruins too.



Excellent question.
