Paul Ryan Booed By Seniors At Town Hall Meeting in Milton, Wisconsin 4-2011

[poindexterwitkowsky]

``**Hey Republican PAUL RYAN...Remember the scene in ANIMAL HOUSE where OTTER says to FLOUNDER, "Y ou f____ed up....You trusted us!"Well you are FLOUNDER & OTTER represents your institutionalized GOP buddies. When your plan to DESTROY MEDICARE(class warfare) runs it's course AND your GOP buddies admit it was always a bad idea, YOU, PAULIE, will be made to take the fall. So take my advise... Stash your CORPORATE DONATIONS-. Accept one of those lucrative lobbying jobs & "start drinking heavily."

[IrreverentEnigma]

I'm a quazi tea party member, but what people need to understand is that Paul might be TECHNICALLY right about the tax rate, but after all the loop holes, the US EFFECTIVE tax rate is one of the lowest in the world. The rich have lobbied their way into loopholes while still crying their taxed at a high rate which is fundamentally untrue.

[dragszes]

it still boggles my mind when I hear people slam the republican party or democreatic party.Are you serious do you still think theres a difference.Both parties are the same bought and payed for by the same people, corporations.No wonder the US is in the position its in when people cant see what is so obvious .Nancy pelosi said "“When it comes to Israel, Republicans and Democrats speak with one voice.” shame they cant find that common ground concerning america

[suvariboy]

Do people still swallow the old "trickle down theory"? It's ridiculous! It's never worked in the past and it won't work now. Just look at what the Big Banks did with all of the bailout money - they sat it. No loans to small business. No loans to big business. No mortgages. And what do the rich people do with all of their tax break money? Do they create good jobs that pay well? No. They go shopping (high end stores have seen profits soar) and they buy a new jet.

[beaupamer]

He has a nice ass!!

[suvariboy]

@beaupamer Nice ass?  He IS an ass!

[TheKmbt]

Everyone in Washington knows that Paul Ryan has been told he has a million dollar a year lobbying job for the health industry if he gets his health care law passed.

Here's how it works-he lies through his teeth to get it passed-the healthcare insurance industry makes billions more from vouchers while still denying it's customers health care.

Meanwhile this nigger gets a cushy one million dollar a year job as a lobbyist. Way to sell out your own people Ryan!

[cugamer]

Not buying the bullshit.

[tubaplayer67]

@cugamer amen brother...

[ballrude1]

I didnt know this was in Milton??? Jon Stewart played a clip of this video on one of his shows a couple weeks ago.. I believe that this is the first time Milton, WI has ever been rep'd on the Daily Show!!!!

[zsha68]

@ballrude1 Yes, it was in Milton, WI.

[conchf]

A decade of stagnant wages, lost jobs while taxspending (tax cuts) and Ryan is still peddling trickle down. Not buying what your selling Ryan and neither are 84% of Americans. Put Ryan No Care on the trash heap.

[FriedDaisy]

@ZommaGod I'm not an academic, but I am a hard working, taxpaying citizen. If not for my hard work, & the hard work of everyone I know, there'd be no "privately owned wealth" for "individuals" to accrue via legal & illegal means. There's nothing wrong with running & profiting from a successful business, but exploiting the living shit out of everyone & everything in order to hoard 80 to 85% of the wealth generated by the COLLECTIVE is not only immoral, but probably illegal. Not to mention, evil.

[FriedDaisy]

I'm not sure where ZommaGod's comments have gone, but the last one left in my inbox read: "....You're unable to grasp how voluntary contractual relationships based on individual rights and the banishment of the initiation of force -- which is Capitalism -- are in fact, the only MORAL bases for civilized human relationships...." Apparently Zomma is unable to grasp how those who'd be our new government, the corporations, are using contracts to strip citizens of individual rights & enslave them

[zsha68]

@FriedDaisy ZommaGod's comments have been removed because this site has standards. 

[FriedDaisy]

@zsha68 :-)

[zsha68]

@FriedDaisy Back at you! :-)

[Lllburns]

GE PAID NO FEDERAL TAXES IN 2010!!!!

Bank of America also paid NO FEDERAL TAXES IN 2010!

[Lllburns]

The Tea Party is a FACADE.

It is not a real people's movement.

It will crack easily when the word gets out that attention has been DRUMMED UP and EXAGGERATED by a relatively small group of selfish people.

It should never have gotten the attention that it did.

The Tea Party is not a real people's movement.

[FriedDaisy]

@ZommaGod 1% of the population controls 80% of our collective wealth. 10% (which includes the 1% mentioned) controls 85%. That leaves a mere 15% for the other 90% of the population to get by on. The median income of the U.S. working class (aka the middle class)-- 40% of the population-- is about $50,000 which is taxed at roughly 55% (all taxes combined). Of course those making >160K appear to be paying 50% of the income tax (not close to what they should be paying). THEY HAVE ALL THE MONEY.

[zsha68]

@ZommaGod That is absolutely NOT TRUE. ALL seniors will be dramatically affected. The plan is to give seniors vouchers worth a set amount. When they run up their medical bills to a set amount, the voucher runs out. Then what? What will granny do?  How will she afford to go see her doctor? How about lab tests, x-rays, medicine? No my friend, YOU have been sadly misinformed.

[tonkinshipwreck69]

Look at that crowd. Same ones that voted for these repubs. Their races veiws has gotten them in big trouble. They are in this position because Obama is a Black Man , and that is all to it. These repubs and T/P folks played the hell out of them. Just like the Wisconsin deal with the Unions. Wonder how many of those Union People voted for Lil Scott and He kicks em in the ass?. Racial hate is so ripe that it spawn another political group. I am counting the days til America takes to the street

[spiderj19]

Too funny,when Republicans were crashing the democrat town halls shouting the speakers down republicans like Ryan said the people are voicing what they did not want.Now that he is the one getting the boo's and shouted down he wants to have an orderly discussion and wants everyone to be nice

The G.O.P double standard continues Update,Obama just released the long for Birth Certificate Trump said when Obama did that he would release his tax info.Hey Donald you and your hair are on the clock.

[howardsten]

@BKHENRY1 you are a simpleton,i guess you are a republicant ,they all seem to forget the last 10 years, hell you all cant remember 4 years ago, this paul ryan spent and spent and spent all our money with georgie porgie, were you not alive or were you on another planet ? g w had a surplus and the debt was at 5 trillion,after gw and paul ryan got done with us we were up to 10 trillion thats double what we started with and thanks for handing the keys over to communist red china, you Traitors

[fumiohuang]

Paul Ryan is GOP's Nancy Pelosi.

[HPhenomenal]

@fumiohuang nope. worse.

[howardsten]

this paul ryan is a joke, this is the same guy that spent all our money with george bush,i didnt hear his big mouth once during them 8 years about spending,he spent and spent and spent didnt ask how are we gonna pay for it he just spent along with the rest of them,remember dick cheney,deficits dont matter, now they arent in charge of how it gets spent and all the sudden they are worried about spending what hypocrites,what liars, they just love the rich and ,hate the middle class

[martayers]

Paul Ryan is rapidly becoming one of the most despised men in America among doctors and hospitals. His devotion to the principles of Ayn Rand, an objectivist and atheist runs contrary to the base of the Republican party, which was once exemplified by the Christian Coalition, run in the past by my high school friend Ralph Reed. If we defund health care, more nursing and other jobs will be lost. Will Charlie Sheen and rich people who get tax breaks really create jobs with the same money? NO!

[TheKmbt]

Paul Ryan gets the best health care money can buy and you're payin for it-SUCKERS! Meanwhile, he's trying to privatize it so the industry can jack up your premiums (if you're lucky enough to afford them) even more than they are now. If you ever see this nigger ask him how much he pays for health insurance! BTW no one in Canada has ever gone banckrupt (you will if Ryan has his way) from medical bills. Say it with me 'SUCKERS"!

[breemystic]

I've done the research, a lot of the companies that are in the top 2% when it comes to wealth are not even paying taxes, they use loopholes to pay nothing and get back MILLIONS in refunds and we're nice enough to give some of these companies subsidies.

You think they wouuld create US jobs, but nope, they outsource anyway, even though they actually get a TAX REFUND, to India, Phillpines, Malaysia, China so they can pay a CSR 10-20.00 a day instead of a US Minimum wage that is not livable.

[smokin4dubs]

If more rich people thought like mark zuckerberg, bill gates, and warren buffet along with a host of others then we as americans can slowly but surely solve the debt issue. I've got no prob with my taxes being raised, but in comes the gop, let's lower the taxes on the top 2% so it creates jobs..problem is it creates jobs in the philipines, india and god knows where else..yup u.s.a. all the way

[chairprank]

Ryan would rather fiddle with his stuff than be an attentive recipient of facts. He projects that I don't care attitude. Funny, how he tries to placate by saying, "I agree with your premise." Which he actually really totally disagrees with.

[smokin4dubs]

It doesn't matter if you're a lifelong conservative, a liberal, or an independant, the republican agenda is to have the wealthy stay wealthy and the shrinking middle class take the crumbs and leftover crap that the rich wipe off the table and the gop will say its ok, one day you'll get there..complete lie, the republicans are selling this crap and people are actually buying it

[16Sammie]

Ayn Rand would be so proud of Paul Ryan.

[16Sammie]

Since the early 80's the top 2% has received tax breaks one after the other, and yet they still send good American jobs overseas. If the threat for not increasing taxes is that American companies will continue to leave the US, let the traitors leave. It's time to call out these companies for the scum that they are, TRAITORS.

[BlackCatTuesday]

He's repeating utter bullcrap.

[smokin4dubs]

@512 you're not going to reach any republican my friend, they listen to limbaugh, hannity, beck, levin and weiner(michael savage) all day long...they'll never get it, and in order to make money you've got to spend it...unless you're a republican..they're the charge it, charge it, charge it party...at least dems have the balls to cash and carry

[zsha68]

@smokin4dubs Agreed, republicans and tea partiers REFUSE to even listen to another side. Their time to go is NOW, before they go for the spare change under our couches.

[freshprince512]

@eline65 stupid, the rich are currently paying the lowest tax rates in our country's history. keep watching fox news all day dumbass.

[freshprince512]

@BKHENRY1 do all of you republicans live in a fairy land of lies? do none of you care about seeking the truth? Any economists in the country would tell you we had to spend money in order to get the economy going again in 2008. if the Dems didn't spend money, we would no longer have an American auto industry. if you really want to find fault, look at the previous adminstration. Two unpayed for wars, prescription drug bill unpayed for, tax cuts for the rich unpayed for...get with the program.

[smokin4dubs]

Oh and to the people (republicans) who are ok with this because you think you are actually going to one day become rich.....dream on, its not gonna happen...no longer can I support the true intentions of the gop...obama in 2012..and yes I will absolutely be happy with my tax dollars going to help the people of this country

[smokin4dubs]

If you're not rich and a republican you are just going against your own best interests, there is nothing wrong with raising taxes on the wealthy, I would gladly pay more in taxes and I'm a republican but for the gop now to stand up and say that it hurts job creation is a complete lie...I'm surprised the tea party isn't going into a complete outrage over this...give people like me more money so the less fortunate suffer..unreal

[digitaldivin3]

@eline65 no... that was me asking why "conservatives" are attacking elderly people.... aka their base. :P

[LikableDesi]

Ryan plan would bring a revolt from 65+ population, especially in terms of medicare. The last thing US needs is million people mobility scooter revolt. It would make Egypt and Tunisia look like a day care. LOL just sayyyying.

[rjfmvp]

The problem is that Republicans are targeting some of the least powerful or wealthy citizens, while ignoring the billions of tax money given away or given up in terms of tax breaks and welfare for big business. We should focus on bettering our lives through community care and love, not competition. Why are we fighting with the world? Put the tariff's up so that we have American jobs again. Working retail is NOT a career for the vast majority of the American workforce.

[chiefashley56]

FUCK PAUL RYAN!

[dtox12]

HEY GUYS REMEMBER THE LITTLE CONCEITED TWERP THAT WISH HE WAS COOL FROM HIGH SCHOOL WHO WE ALL HAD TO DEAL WITH IN OUR CLASSES, YEAH THATS PAUL RYAN.

[kyblueyes1000]

@AWarWithoutEnd I think he's pretty ugly myself.

[kyblueyes1000]

Love this video. Does the GOP really think Americans are going to stand by and let them kill medicare while giving the rich more tax cuts? American's aren't buying their bull and we're tired of them taking all we have. The elderly, the poor, and the middle class didn't cause the budget problems and we shouldn't have to suffer more to fix them. It's time for the GOP to wake up and smell the coffee because no one's drinking the tea.

[NowThePeople]

@kyblueyes1000 Could not have said it better myself! 100% agreed

[julsHz]

Bullshit. If tax breaks create jobs, what happened to the jobs during the Bush yrs? Where are they now? That's just another attempt by a (R) to force fit a manipulation of reality into the reality we all know-- a lack of jobs in this country. Yeah Paul, we have a deficit-- a deficit of jobs.

[digitaldivin3]

someone help me understand how these type of people got into office in the first place. they screw the very base that gets them into office.... thoughts ?

[NowThePeople]

@digitaldivin3 They get into office because our generation does not vote:(

[conchf]

Idaho Tbag Gov. just signed an executive order to end Medicaid. I wonder if the "keep your hands off my Medicare" tbag crowd in that state can even comprehend that. Boy, were they led down the path to hell.

[peacelord]

Good going, Ryan. When in doubt, stick to the narrative that everyone is groaning at.

[newave123456]

Wow, its amazing how he tries to sell this to the very people who depend on this and he thinks because the changes wont affect them, that they wont care about seniors in the future.... astonishing 0_o

[kipptumor]

Down goes Ryan! Down goes Ryan!

[jsamples37]

Why are the republicans against old people? Why tax them instead of the wealthy? I'm never going to vote republican again. This is why. No republicans or tea party people. They hate everyone.

[Samantha30090]

@jsamples37 ... if you knew your history, you'd NEVER have voted for repubicans, in the first place. If you knew your history, you would know that republicans brought us our first Great Depression. Their economic policies were reformed by Franklin D Roosevelt which saved our economy, made us a world power, and it wasnt until Reagan, and enough time for people to forget what Republicans do, that Americans let themselves back in for the same mess all over again. History is repeating itself.

[4teepee]

Representative Paul Ryan and the Republicans claim that tax cuts for the rich will spur growth. We have twice tested this one. The first time was when President Reagan gave us big tax breaks beginning in 1981. The 1980s were the worst decade of growth since the Great Depression except for the 2000s, when President Bush tested his tax cuts for the rich.

[pimezon]

he just got wtf pwned thru logic.

[Connor12710]

I'm for returning to the Clinton tax rates. Let us also return to the Clinton spending levels, number of regulatory agencies, and bureaucracy. Politicians have put us in a place now where we're going to have to suffer through some contractionary fiscal policy in an inflationary environment where unemployment is high. This isn't going to end well if we don't cut spending. You're foolish if you think that the answer is just to raise taxes on the highest income earners.

[GaryStuartKing]

@Connor12710 I don't think anybody believes that we do not need to cut spending. The real wage earners are willing to pay their fair share in taxes to help get America out of it's financial mess (even tax increases) if the Bush tax cuts for the top 1% are repealed.
