Paul Ryan had no problem with collectivsm and statism when he was living off Social Security benefits after his dad died.

~~**The Paul Ryan BUDGET is based on the study of RYANOMICS a hybrid form of economics that for some UNKNOWN reason did not exist until after Bush Jr. left office. The Plan will offset large tax cuts to corporations & the wealthy by closing UNSPECIFIED LOOPHOLES. The GOAL is to cut the deficit (in theory only) while increasing the deficit by getting rid of taxes on CAPITAL GAINS, INTEREST -& DIVIDENDS. You can call it RIGHT WING SOCIAL ENGINEERING. You can also call it SOCIAL DARWINISM.

Paul Ryan is a twin to Eric Cantor, a couple of selfish spoiled brats spawned by the right wing Tea Party enthusiasm that distances them from caring about anything but their own success at the expense of the poor and the disenfranchised.

Technically he's still following her, because his own self-interest was more valuable than the truth or his support of his hero. It's quite a paradox.

This asshole can't possibly have any pants left that aren't burnt to a crisp.

And Ayn Rand ended up needing the very Medicare she preached against!

You can know a person's character by who his hero is.

Go Lawrence! Tell it like it is!

This guy has got to be one of the biggest dumbasses ever to be voted into public office in America. He could have said the Catholic statement about Rand made him change his mind about her, but instead he tries to rewrite history and what he himself has said.
