And for obvious reasons (if you read the link) JFK is given credit for that tax cut.
While I'm sure LJB's legendary ability to work the Congress played a part in it actually getting passed, this was clearly part of JFK's legacy, especially after his assassination three months earlier.
Adding brewing to the list of 2-3 transportation deregulations does not satisfy my interpretation of "every industry he could get his hands on". There's a reason Malcolm Wallop's 1976 advertisement of a cowboy strapping a port-a-potty to a donkey behind his horse resonated long after.
In retrospect it's possible Carter was a deregulator at net, certainly the regulatory things he's infamous for were, to my memory, inherited, but it would be a hard case to make. Remember the 95% complete Tellico dam and the snail darter? He also put an awful person in charge of the NHTSA, and I believe it was their insane air bag decisions that resulted in the deaths of hundreds or more short people and children.
