Nice try; no cigar. Things started to change under Nixon/Ford, and Carter was a typical Southerner on this issue, but it was Reagan Incarnate who single handedly killed the labor movement, cut taxes to defund government and took dead aim on entitlements like SS and Medicare. The Dems were certainly complicit, but it was the Reps who killed the golden goose.
