One reason for this is that he signed an order that would put the International Bankers who own the Federal Reserve out of business. On June 12, 1963, and executive order number 11110. It basically was going to strip the power of the federal reserve to loan money to the U.S government. This means that the bank was going to be out of business. When this was proposed, this meant that many people were going to lose their jobs. And they all got mad at JFK. They thought he signed it so he's responsible for our jobs. This cased hatred between many people. Another reason why people hated JFK was the Bay Of Pigs Invasion. The Bay Of Pigs Invasion was a plot to overthrow Cuba's communist government. This plan was started before his presidency. Later when he was a president, he learned about the plan. On March 11, 1961, Kennedy invited CIA director Allen Dulles and Richard Bissell the CIA's chief of operations to the white house. They were all going over plans on how the mission was going to be like. Dulles and Bissells both said that they were going to start the invasion with air strikes....

And as a result of that, they were the ones that ordered the killing of Kennedy. " It was known that Oswald was a supporter of Soviet-backed Cuba.
