Interesting how people see what they want to see, do believe Ryan would like to privatize social security-medicare, all for reform and eliminating as many entitlements as possible, but don't believe that these programs are that as people pay into them and thus have earned the benefit. Do feel many fear change in these programs, of course realize they have to be reformed to be sustained. Spending has to be reduced across the board, but most think it is ok to slay your ox, leave mine alone. Revenue stream is a must, like it or not, but it needs to be fair, cuts for rich did not-will not work, all need to pay period, personally like the fair tax or 2nd flat rate income no deductions-write-offs, we all pay, close the irs won't need it. Don't believe medical history of Ryan's family is a cheap shot, just an objective fact. Our debt has been a long time in the making and will take some time to correct. I am old enough that changes won't effect me in social security etc., but worry about the future of the next generation. I am a registered Republican, have been that longer than most have been alive, but am not an idealogue. Actually believe that we have only one party with different wings, as they both support status quo, need real choice and alternatives, but not possible under our system. Important to vote, key to democracy, vote for your choice, but vote.
I too support a flat tax but liberals scream and cry at the thought of it. They don't want people to be taxed the same, they want to punnish success out of jealousy and greed. That's a way to win elections but not a way to sucessfully run a budget.
As for tax cuts for the rich, that didn't happen. Bushes tax cuts were more for the lower and middle class than the rich. They got a much bigger tax cut but the media didn't like that so they touted total dollars of the cut not the percentage of the cut nor the fact that the minimum required to pay taxes was actually raised and even less people actualy paid incime tax.
Now Oprama and the liberals want to keep the middle and lower tax cuts and in effect raise taxes on the rich.......wait a minute those tax cuts didn't exist I thought. Can't have it both ways but the MSM allows them to. That's just too ripe right there. All these years claiming it was a tax cut for the rich and now wanting to keep the cuts on the lower and middle class that supposedly didn't exist.
The MSM is one of the big problems in this country. They have been doing a reelection campaign for Oprama since he was elected. He had complete control of both houses and got everything he wanted passed in the beginning of his term and it didn't work. THe economy got worse, and we still have over 8 percent unemployment but yet the MSM has helped him deffer blame for this economy for all these years. Even he himself said if he didn't get it turned around within 3 years he should be a one term president and now he is still blaming Bush.
The MSM will help assure his reelection though.
