Paul Ryan To Fox News: ‘I Don’t Have The Time’ To Explain How We Will Pay For Our Tax Plan

Hey, Ryan, it's not smart to piss off a bunch of women with pointy sticks in their hands!

I have offered three possible explanations:

#1. "You people are just too stupid to understand."

#2. "Well, some of you might understand, but you'd want me boiled in oil.

#3. "Plan? We don't have a plan! We got nothing."

Especially the "women with pointy sticks" warning!

shows he has two left feet. Or a forked tongue.

Ryan says that they'll benefit the middle class by leaving charitable deductions (does that really affect taxes that much unless you're a zillonaire?), home mortgage, etc. He's really just spinning. Those are loopholes, my friend, oh yes they are.

Notice he's not going to mention the loopholes he's gonna leave in place along with those more populist ones (because the peasants would tar and feather him) such as those for oil companies, etc. Ryan is muddying the waters and has no plan.

Obama can and has given the numbers, much to everyone's boredom. It's not his fault that people want sound bites. He knows all of the numbers and what they mean for Americans and the USA.

I've seen Ryan on CSPAN at 'work' (if you can call his career of brown nosing 'work') and he throws out figures as if they are weapons to wave around like a stick. He never has a context, no matter what he says.

Okay, I'll just say it. He's a dickweed. I can't resoect anyone who idolizes Ayn Rand. They have a few necessary screws missing to be human.

JFK's plan was never intended to be revenue-neutral; Eisenhower kept the 90-percent tax rate to intentionally punish The Rich for profiteering off World War II when the dogfaces under his command were making fifty bucks a month. It pissed him off and he got them back for it. (And the money came in pretty handy because the government was funding a LOT of pure science and infrastructure in those days.)

JFK WANTED to cut government revenues; the nice thing about Kennedy's plan is that it didn't cut revenues drastically enough to stop the government from building roads and shooting people into outer space.

The root problem with the Republicans is their mindset is 1955; they truly believe the government is overtaxing, which at the time they were, and the only solution is to cut back on taxes.

Now having said that, which is true, the R's then always go on to say that overtaxation (which we no longer have) stifles the private sector. This is a very strange position to take, seeing as how the private sector flourished in the 1950s--when the Evil Government was taxing the living shit out of it! The reality is that UNDERtaxation stifles the private sector by starving it.

but, it is really sad and pathetic that a party nominee for President in the United States of America is repeatedly and openly campaigning on the notion that you can cut the effective rate 20 percent, close loop holes to make it revenue neutral, while everyone gets a tax cut.

There comes a point when the media just has to step up and say enough already, and totally call them out for it.

Think about that one for a minute!

If your secret tax plan was capable of generating broad popular support, you would have "found the time" to summarize what you and Romney intend to do. That would be good politics after all. However, the protracted silence says even more, and implies that it would be a sweetheart deal for the few and a hardship on everyone else. I guess we'll never know for sure, since you are not going to win come November 6th.

Every time I read this "trust us on these tax numbers crap" I remember Nixon's secret plan to end the war in Vietnam... which apparently was in 1975 when Saigon fell.

MATH IS HARD!!!!!

then Ryan would have to kill him.

How many times have you mocked Pelosi's out of context comment, while telling us your tax plan is too complex to explain? Hmmm.
