Ryan wants to give MORE tax breaks to the rich so they can build more factories overseas. This is a continuation of the Bush years where 8 million jobs were

outsourced. If this nigger has his way none of us will have jobs, health care, or social security! America deserves better!

@Kickasskaratemaster Maybe you should stop watching Glenn Beck. He doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground!

@ricodorean21 - I consider myself middle-class as well & I know my taxes are going to be fairly high this yr, but I dont care if we're taking care of the elderly. But Ryan will have the super-rich paying a lower tax rate than us,

[ricodorean21]

@DillonDee9 But I'm middle classed and I don't feel punished. I'm perfectly happy! Why is it so many people feel guilt. Just be happy and work hard... and get over things.... geeze...

@ricodorean21 --

I know it sounds crazy...as I used to be the major owner of 3 companies & had to report PROFITS BEFORE TAXES and PROFITS AFTER TAXES, with the latter always being lower.

But now for some of these major companies the latter if HIGHER.

MEANWHILE WE PUNISH THE POOR AND MIDDLE CLASS.

Democrats are fucked. All of this Repetitive Bush bullshit is Obama's fault. He is out-Bushing GW.He has not taken us out of war in 2 years and now there is this Libyan shit. Republicans need to shut down Fox News, stop worrying about stupid shit. Stop giving money to BIG COMPANIES. MAKE THEM PAY 75% of their income in taxes.... America IS NOT the greatest nation anymore. THE PATRIOT ACT proves that. FUCK YOU IF YOU VOTE FOR THESE DICTATORS.

Paul Ryan is committed to doing the right thing. I support him completely.

1 Hedge Fund Mgr reportedly made over a BILLION DOLLARS a yr for several yrs

But last year he made more than $5 BILLION DOLLARS! (more than any1 else in America & more than the GDP of 80 different nations)

Bush lowered the Capital Gain rate to 15% & the law was written so Hedge Fund Mgrs can use it

Now Ryan's plan lowers the Cap Gain rate to 0%/...so you have the man making the most paying 0 tax

Dont you wish it could be you paying 0 tax?

@Kickasskaratemaster --

In a study of the yrs 2001-2003 -- 82 of the 275 biggest companies paid 0 or less in fed inc taxesr. In the yrs they paid no inc tax, these companies earned $102 billion in pretax profits. But instead of paying $35.6 billion in inc taxes as the 35% corporate tax rate seems to require, they generated so many excess tax breaks they received tax rebate checks totaling $12.6 billion. These companies' "negative tax rates" meant they made more after taxes than before.
