Pretty much -- it had earlier roots, but it didn't all come together until 1964, when the GOP nominated Goldwater, an ideological conservative very different from Eisenhower.

I don't believe you.

How many people you know have read Buchanan's Death of the West?

To your first point, conservatives want everyone's taxes lowered. It's good for the economy and people are freer when they get to keep more of what they earn. We've cut taxes 5 times in just over 100 years. Each time, we've had economic growth. And the government winds up with more revenue over time. According to the IRS, the top brackets are paying a higher share of taxes since the 2017 tax cuts than they were before those cuts.

And your second claim is simply wrong. Conservatives oppose government picking winners and losers, whether through subsidies, taxes, or regulation.

At least on paper Conservatives do. The reality conservatives often arent educated. Libs aren't perfect mind you but still.

If you mean this -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conscience_of_a_Conservative -- Goldwater's ghostwriter was Brent Bozell, Buckley's BIL.
