@Bolgernow You have a degree in economics and you don't understand a pie chart can't be larger than 100%? Yes your right, the top 50% pay 97% of all taxes (the top 1% is included in that numer obviously). The bottom 50% pay almost nothing (3%).

Now, when you look at just the top 1%, they pay, as you said, 40% of EVERYTHING!!! 3 million Americans pay nearly HALF of all the income tax in this country. The remaining 99% of people pay for the other 60%. Im glad I could clear that up for you.

Mr Ryan is obviously not part of the DC Gang. USA has become a banana republic, thuggery  rules every where from the very top down

Four doctors with their CPA degree to insure that each doctor is not abusing the system... Man we need to import more doctors from the jungle of central america.

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!

No one disagreed that Washington is corrupt.

But Paul Ryan's way is a SATANIC WAY.

Paul Ryan's SATANIC ECONOMICS is as corrupt as the Koch Brothers having 22 BILLION DOLLARS and STILL TELLING THEIR EMPLOYEES HOW TO VOTE to cut workers rights and pay.

Ryan's SATANIC ECONOMICS make it easy for companies to continue to send American jobs oversees, while crushing American workers' rights.

Ryan's SATANIC ECONOMICS benefit the wealthy and powerful and screw the American working class.

Ryan, Boner, and the rest of the GOP want to take your childrens retirement (social security) and give it to the the bankers on Wall Street. These niggers suck

the bankers cocks and swallow! America deserves better!

@Bolgernow the fact that you call anyone who disagrees with you a neocon spamboy illustrates how little ability you have to confront the actual argument against this economy-trashing trillion dollar mistake. Secondly, I don't see why having no videos means anything I say is illegitimate. Thirdly, liberalism does not mean more freedom in this case - like for example the free market.

[Bolgernow]

@MrNever8 says the neo-con GOP spam bot. You have no real footprint here. No vids, no nothing, but comment on GOP clips espousing those views. You wait 5 months to respond, really? The right gains power=facism(just look above at how they treated a reasonable dissenting voice. They marked it "spam" & shut it down). The left=more freedom. Remember, with Bush you had a protest zone. With Obama you can get close enough to spit on members of congress during the healthcare debate. Freedom

[MrNever8]

@Bolgernow way to sidestep confronting anything he actually said. seriously, you can't dismiss someone with the points and logic he has just by calling him an 'apologist' with no further explanation. it in fact emphasizes how little of an argument left wingers have against ryan's rhetoric.
