What Democrat President Cut Taxes During Wartime?

In answer to Bill Clinton's statement that aside from President Bush, no other President has been 'irresponsible' enough to cut taxes during wartime, I'm afraid that he's lying again. Clinton's hero, JFK, did just that during the Vietnam War - a war that he was escalating prior to introducing his tax reform plan.

Kennedy proposed his massive income tax cuts in 1962. The Vietnam War ran from 1959 - 1975. JFK got the United States into the conflict by supplying military equipment and advisors to South Vietnam in 1961.

JFK's income tax cuts were eventually passed after his death as the Revenue Tax Act of 1964. So you could say that two Democrat Presidents worked hard to cut taxes during wartime - JFK and his successor, Lyndon B. Johnson.

Here's a YouTube clip of JFK's speech to the country from 1962 on his rational for the tax cuts:
