Thom Hartmann: Paul Ryan - Ayn Rand Utopia with Poor as Feudal Serfs



The only thing we can expect Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney to do - is what they've promised to do on paper - and that's give massive tax cuts - five trillion dollars worth of tax cuts - to rich people like themselves - and give austerity to the rest of us. That will only worsen wealth inequality in America - and thus make it harder and harder for the poor to move up into the Middle Class and aspire for the American Dream. Paul Ryan doesn't give a damn about the poor - he's just a shill for big business who wants to create an Ayn Rand utopia where the wealthy live like Kings - and the middle class and the poor live like feudal serfs

FAKE. He looked back to see her face. She realized that Daddy was lying about being concerned for the poor. I bet generosity is taught at her school. Most school districts have a food drive for the poor in the few weeks before Thanksgiving. Catholicism teaches charity. Shameful.
