Methinks that today's Americans wouldn't be anymore willing to give up their Medicare, Social Security and other fun stuff in 2010 then they would in 1964.

Do remember that Richard Nixon had a Congress which was controlled by the Democrats, who he pretty much let do whatever they wanted on domestic issues, as well as he didn't really give a shit about domestic policy because he wanted to be a foreign policy President. He also supported transferring authority of Great Society programs to the states.

In addition, the upper marginal income tax rate was 70-77% under LBJ and Nixon, but Obama only wants to make it 40%.

Which means absolutely nothing.
