Richard Nixon is often tarred by the scandal that swept him out of office, while the great things he did are sometimes forgotten.
1. Wages rise
Under Richard Nixon, real wages, adjusted for inflation and purchasing power parity have reached their highest point ever, unparalleled to this day.

2. Under Nixon, the Vietnam war ended and peace was made with Red China.
Nixon made peace, contrary to popular assumptions that all right wingers are warmongers.

Contrary to popular belief right wingers can be good for the economy, good for workers wages, and good for world peace.
