The Ryan Tax Plan: Higher Taxes for 90% of Americans, Less Revenue for the Government

[Swede]

So give Ryan credit. It’s quite difficult to raise taxes on 90 percent of Americans while reducing overall tax revenue, but he’s shown enormous ingenuity in getting the job done. Remember that this is the top House GOP budget guy. If John Boehner becomes Speaker after the midterms, Ryan will be writing budgets for the new majority, presumably animated by the same moral principles that led him to this idea.

2. The Earned Income Tax Credit is a good thing.

It's an incentive for the working poor to continue working instead of going on welfare. And it helps a little to rectify serious income inequality.

12. That would be madam but here's one for you

What percentage of all the wealth in this country does the top 1% control? And do you want the total taxes paid by each group with or without the payroll tax included?

14. While trying to think of talking points to recite, Cutter has been cut.

Buh bye, Cutter. We hardly knew ye. And even at that we knew ye more than we wished.

8. You know, that doesn't bother me nearly as much as the people at the top

getting their taxes cut consistently over the past 30 years while the working class made up the shortfall this caused with the payroll tax increase St. Ronnie imposed on us.
