Wow. Pence brags that we added one million jobs in the first nine months of this year, ignoring the fact that we added one and a quarter million jobs in the first nine months of last year. He points to a low unemployment rate, but that reduction was slower than in previous years. He brags about a 3% GDP growth rate, which is pretty pathetic compared to the double digit growth under Ford and Carter and weaker than most of the years under Obama. 
.
He ends his fantasy piece with claims about earlier Presidents and tax cuts. But the tax rate was the same on the day Kennedy died as it was when he took office, and the Reagan tax cuts ushered in an era of declining incomes, slowing job growth, and the near obliteration of the previously thriving middle class. Neither POTUS stands as "proof" of his preposterous claims about the effects of tax cuts.
