Remember in Back to the Future, in 1985 there is an election on in the background, Mayor X is claiming his "progress platform will deliver more jobs, better education, bigger civic improvements and lower taxes".

Jump to 1955 and there is an election on in the background where Mayor Y is claiming their "progress platform will deliver more jobs, better education, bigger civic improvements and lower taxes"...

You're confusing movies with real life... where every politician promises more jobs, better education, bigger civic improvements and lower taxes.

Bureau of Alcohol, tobacco, and Firearms. The government shouldn't be using my hard earned money to give such a dangerous combination to any group. They're gonna shoot their eyes out.
