Compare And Contrast Kennedy And Reagan's Views On Tax Policy

Today we dive into the depth of two different president’s views on Tax policy and compare and contrast. The president's i’ve chosen are some of the most recognizable presidents in modern history.

Kennedy had his plans rejected by congress and Reagan’s ideas on tax were passed. Kennedy was not on the same page as Reagan when it came to a working plan on tax. The congress of kennedy’s didn’t align with his thoughts of taking tax cuts to stimulate economic growth. Reagan also seemed to propose the right plan because of its effectiveness.

Kennedy had a different way of approaching taxes than Reagan. Reagan had his thoughts on tax policy relatively agreeable while some would say Kennedy knew less on economics.

Using tax cuts to stimulate growth in economy was not favored by congress at the time of John F.
