Did someone say class warfare? Was it Paul "Richie Rich" Ryan?
Paul Ryan says President Obama's proposed tax increase for millionaires is nothing short of
class warfare. If a class war breaks out, we know which side Paul Ryan will be fighting for -- the entitled class into which he was born.
Paul Begala in a CNN opinion piece:
Mr. Ryan won the genetic lottery. There is no doubt that his great-grandfather worked hard to build that company. But a century and a quarter later, young Mr. Ryan -- who estimates his net worth at up to $2.4 million -- has no calluses on his hands. Just on his heart.

Huffington Post:
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said on Sunday that House Republicans would oppose President Barack Obama's payroll tax cuts for both employers and employees, arguing that the policy had already failed to provide a sufficient boost to the economy.
"It hasn't worked," Ryan said, suggesting the current temporary tax cut should be allowed to expire, which will amount to a 50 percent tax hike on workers making less than $106,000 per year.
Ryan continues to promote the theory that giving more money to millionaires will somehow stimulate the economy and create jobs. But guess what? That's the policy that really hasn't worked. More at The Paul Ryan Watch.
UPDATE: The Congressional Budget Office agrees that reducing payroll taxes helps create more jobs than tax breaks for the wealthy. Details.

Rick Perry and Paul Ryan; a match made in heaven
They say people find each other.
Rick "Ponzi Scheme" Perry has signed on to the Paul Ryan plan to end Medicare as we know it and replace it with a voucher-type system that will cost seniors much more for health care -- if they can afford it at all.
Isn't calling that "Medicare" when it's really something quite different a bait and switch con job? It sure seems like it.
No word on whether Ryan reciprocated by endorsing Perry's call for states that don't like what Congress does to secede from the union.
