71-year-old wrestled to the ground for questioning Paul Ryan

[phill4paul]

People act like Paul Ryan's medicare/SS/budget plans are going to throw people out on the street. All they do is slow the marginal rate of increase, and it's like he wants to eat puppies.

I knew it!

All the World's a Stage.

His tax cuts favor the rich, which will not stimulate the economy. That's enough to be pissed about and goes to show why Romney picked his mini-me for VP.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No surprise here, but the tax cuts in Paul Ryan’s 2013 budget plan would result in huge benefits for high-income people and very modest—or no— benefits for low income working households, according to a new analysis by the Tax Policy Center.

TPC looked only at the tax reductions in Ryan’s plan, which also included offsetting–but unidentified–cuts in tax credits, exclusions, and deductions. TPC found that in 2015, relative to today’s tax system, those making $1 million or more would enjoy an average tax cut of $265,000 and see their after-tax income increase by 12.5 percent. By contrast, half of those making between $20,000 and $30,000 would get no tax cut at all. On average, people in that income group would get a tax reduction of $129. Ryan would raise their after-tax income by 0.5 percent.

Nearly all middle-income households (those making between $50,000 and $75,000) would see their taxes fall, by an average of roughly $1,000. Ryan would increase their after-tax income by about 2 percent.

Ryan would extend all of the 2001/2003 tax cuts, and then consolidate individual rates to just two—10 and 25 percent. In addition, he’d repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax, reduce the corporate rate from 35 percent to 25 percent, and kill the tax provisions of the 2010 health reform law.

Earlier this week, TPC projected the tax cuts in Ryan’s budget would add $4.6 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade, even after extending the 2001/2003 tax cuts, which would add another $5.4 trillion to the deficit.

Sorry, had to stop when I saw the chart was from the "non-partisan" Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
http://blog.heritage.org/2011/05/13/liberal-think-tank-fails-statistics/

I may not care for Heritage either, but if you read their de-bunking, it is legitimate.

Beware these "non-partisan" think-tanks who give you pretty charts.

EDIT: Even the NY Times of all places cites CBPP as a "liberal think-tank". http://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/08/12/paul-ryans-liberal-fan-club/

Could give a damn about charts and empty promises.

What exactly,, in the last 50 years of history,, gives you any reason to believe any bullshit these schmucks say?

Cut spending?
Balance Budget?
Obey the Constitution?

What?? Exactly

 

[brooks009]

That guy is a delusional fool. That money was spent a long time ago. I hate boomers something fierce. YOU WERE CHEATED. GET OVER IT. DON'T MAKE DEALS WITH THE DEVIL AKA THE GOVERNMENT! PREPARE ACCORDINGLY!

Way to be collectivist.

By the way, Ron Paul doesn't want to strip them of the Social Security that they paid into their entire working lives, either.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Why do those people think that just taxing the rich will somehow magically create jobs?

Don't know why the jobs thing gets so much attention above all else. Reminds me of the old problem, reaction, solution gag. And we all know who plays that game best.

Boomers could have stopped the creep towards tyranny but they augmented it by tenfold. That's why I don't like the group. Let me preface it by saying that I don't hold all Boomers responsible but.............:

http://ianmichaelchristian.com/The_Downfall.html

While in college many of the Boomers decided that the only way to change the old world establishment was to join them, then change the rules, and in the end that would defeat the establishment as the Boomers viewed it.

They moved into education, human resources, politics, law, business management and social science. They proceeded to earn Master Degrees and Ph.D.’s in every major social field. They became the professors at the Universities; the department heads of Human Resources; the head of Ethics at hospitals and in businesses. They became lawyers for the environmental protection agencies at both the state and federal level.

The Boomers became high-level advisors and confidantes in all of these societal shaping professions. All the way up the career ladder they were spreading their “liberal ideology” to those they hired and trained. They influenced some of those they worked for. And of course, they worked hand in hand with their peers.

Once in positions of great influence or decision-making, the Boomers implemented their liberal changes into the heart of whatever business or professional organization they were managing. They promoted those they had trained over the years. They did what they had set out to do. They joined the institutions they hated, moved up the ladder until they reached a point they could make changes, and then they did, just that. They in essence, beat the very institutions they had joined some twenty years earlier.

Today most governments are headed by Baby Boomers who have created a harsh set of rules dealing with social aspects of daily living and the environment. They have taken away our freedom to do with our own land as we see fit. They have taken away our freedom to burn leaves or brush on our property. They have taken away the right for us to discipline our own children. They have taken away our right to work in our own gardens or paint our houses without getting a permit at the County Court House, which is just another form of taxation.

(Guy in southern California being denied right to cut down tree which is about to fall on his house)

The Boomers have created a social environment which stifles the original “freedoms” our fore fathers established with The Declaration of Independence, the Revolutionary War and the United States Constitution.

They have taken these “freedoms” away based on the premise that the times have changed and that the original words are “too old” for today’s modern socialistic society.

What they have really done is taken away many of our basic rights and freedoms in the name of change.

Anyone know where I can find Ryan or Romneys speaking events? I can't find them. I wanna give one of them a piece of my mind

You may be right, but not all boomers supported that creep.

I blame it on....
