Paul Ryan Promises to Raise Taxes on the Poor and Middle Class
For the past thirty years Republicans have used every argument under
the Sun to convince Americans that giving the wealthy more
entitlements was the path to prosperity through their absurd trickle-
down economics scam. Americans never quite caught on to the theory’s
failure, and during the Bush administration, Republicans promised that
if the people gave more to the rich and eliminated regulations,
prosperity would finally trickle down to the working class. Instead,
working Americans got a Great Recession, declining wages, lost jobs,
and the wealthiest Americans got richer.
The Republican’s never meant to create wealth that trickled down to
the masses because their philosophy is giving everything in America to
a few wealthy families, and in the past year they have attempted to
make drastic cuts to government that create poverty, homelessness, and
kill jobs to make room for more tax cuts for the rich. This week, Eric
Cantor revealed a new notion to help the wealthy and it entails
increasing taxes on the poor and middle class to give more
entitlements to the wealthy.
Most Republicans signed Grover Norquist’s pledge promising to never
raise taxes, but apparently they will break their promise if it means
more entitlements for the wealthy and if the poor and middle class
pick up the tab. Cantor said it is time to “question whether it’s
fair” that some Americans do not pay income tax and that “we should
broaden the (tax) base in a way that we can lower the rates for
everybody that pays taxes.” Cantor also said that to support the
operations of government, it is unfair to continue to “milk them
(rich) more because government has a duty to preserve their ability to
provide the growth engine.” It is the “job creator” meme; only now it
is the poor and middle class’s duty to give their money to the wealthy
to create jobs even though they have not created one job, and Cantor
calls that a fair system.
A majority of Americans believe a fair solution is to increase the
richest Americans’ taxes to help support the government and programs
that benefit every American, but Republicans reject any proposal that
will not increase wealth at the top. Cantor said he never “believed
that you go raise taxes on those that have been successful, taking
away from them so that you just hand out and give to someone else,”
but it is perfectly acceptable to take money from the poor to “hand
out and give to someone else” if they are rich. Cantor’s idea is an
Ayn Rand, Paul Ryan philosophy that “takers” are draining resources
from the “makers” and it is the impetus for Ryan’s Draconian budget
that slashes spending on social safety nets to pay for outrageous tax
cuts for the wealthy. It is Republican idea of wealth redistribution
that takes the poor and middle class’s limited wealth and
redistributing it to the top one percent.
The wealthy have to start sharing the sacrifice the rest of the
population is making for the good of the entire country, but since the
start of the 112th Congress Republicans burdened the poor and middle
class with all the sacrifices to pay for the wealthy’s entitlements
and it is still not enough to satisfy Republicans. For Cantor to claim
it is unfair for the rich to go without all the wealth is beyond
egregious; it a twisted philosophy that establishes the GOP’s
plutocracy.
The middle class, and especially the poor, face drastic cuts to
programs in Paul Ryan’s budget and every Republican has given their
stamp of approval including Willard Romney who stands to gain
immeasurably if his tax rate is reduced. It is the ultimate inequity
that while tens-of-millions of Americans are barely putting food on
the table and a roof over their family’s heads, Republicans want to
take even more to enrich the wealthy. While the rich are getting
richer, most Americans struggle to survive from paycheck to paycheck,
and if they are not paying income taxes, it is most certainly because
they are at or below the poverty level. One has to ponder; what will
it take for Republicans to stop stealing from the poor to give to the
rich? Apparently, it will take every American handing over everything
they own to the wealthy, and then it may not be enough to satisfy the
Republicans.
The Republicans who support Ryan’s budget advocate taking healthcare,
Medicare, food stamps, housing assistance, and every other social
safety net from the poor, seniors, children and working class, and now
Cantor wants to take what little they have left to reward “those that
have been successful.” Americans should understand Republicans will
say and do anything to reward the wealthy, and if it means taxing
Americans who do not earn enough to pay income taxes, they will do it
as sure as they will take food off their tables and the roof over
their heads. It is an indication of the America Republicans envision
if they control the entire government and one that Americans who are
not super-wealthy should dread. It is beyond class warfare and if
Republicans are successful, it will be a holocaust.

http://politics.knoji.com/facts-about-the-paul-ryan-budget-proposal/
Following are some of the key points in the Paul Ryan Budget Proposal
which have been skewed for political purposes. Each American should have
the straight information from the source, and I intend to provide some
of the “horses’s mouth” information in this article.
Spending
• The Paul Ryan Plan intends to cut 6.2 trillion dollars of Federal
spending within the next ten years, which equates to 5.8 trillion in
relation to the current policy base spending.
• Duplicate programs will be eliminated by systematically checking the
responsibilities of each government agency and determining whether other
groups are also addressing the same issues.
• Reduce federal spending so that it is 20% lower than the GDP.
Debt and Deficits
• The deficits will be reduced by 4.4 trillion over the next decade.
This will help to balance our budget by paying debts.
• Lower the sustainability benchmark by balancing the budget by 2015
• Create a path for the budget that will enable the federal government
to pay off debts
Taxes
• By keeping taxes low, the economy will prosper. $800 billion in tax
increases will be eliminated that are being forced by the Health Care
Law of 2009.
• Preventing 1.5 trillion dollar tax increase that is suggested in the
President’s budget proposal.
• Requires re-evaluation of the current tax code to simplify for
households and businesses.
• Lower tax rates for all sectors of the economy; individuals, families,
and businesses
• Sets top tax rates at 25% of income for all taxable parties
Growth and Jobs
• By lowering taxes there will be incentive for businesses to grow and
hire new employees.
• Intends to increase private-sector jobs by 2.5 million by the end of
the decade
• Economic growth will increase GDP by 1.5 trillion over the decade
• Encourages and enables prosperity for citizens, thus increasing tax
income for the federal government by allowing individuals and businesses
higher revenue or income, increasing the amount of tax that is able to
be collected.
Key Objectives of Paul Ryan Budget Proposal
• Better environment for growth will improve job creation and business
innovation and improvement
• Stop Washington from spending more than what it takes in. Reduce
economic benefit to organizations that are not working. Locks in
controls on spending at federal level.
• Saving critical health and retirement programs by making appropriate
and difficult decisions to improve the benefits for those who truly need
assistance.
• Defunding of the Health Care Law of 2009, patients will be attended to
instead of being administratively excluded from benefiting from paying
into the system. The patient’s needs come before bureaucracy.
• Restore the American perception of the country that was founded over
200 years ago: to limit the size and scope of the federal government in
the operations of individual lives.
• Ensure that the next generations are provided with a better country
than the one of their parents, as each parent desires for their families.
Key Components of the Paul Ryan Budget Proposal
• National Security will be prioritized. Taking the $178 billion budget
cuts proposed by Defense Secretary Gates, and re-investing $100 billion
of that in military priorities. The other $78 billion will be given to
debtors to help reduce the national debt.
• Reducing government agencies. Address the duplication of federal
agencies, reducing the amount of red tape, and extraneous spending that
is costing the taxpayers.
• Repeal Health Care Law of 2009 and address patient-centered reform
• Federal civilian workforce will be expected to work within the same
parameters of their private-sector equals in pay and benefits.
• Eliminate programs that have run their course and are no longer necessary
• Repair the methods for Medicaid. Provide block-grants to states to
provide health care to their citizens as is proper for each demographic.
• Eliminate corporate welfare. No more bailouts to corporations who are
unable to maintain their own books.
• Improving American energy resources. The country is rich in oil, oil
sands and oil shale, as well as wind, water, and coal. All are natural
resources that are not being utilized, putting an undue burden on
taxpayers, paying extreme amounts of money to foreign oil producers.
• Improve scholarship programs for students. Currently there are
overlapping and confusing scholarships and other monies that are not
being distributed evenly or equitably.
• Corporations will be provided with appropriate tax reform,
incentivizing job growth and innovation. Choking the corporations that
would improve American lives is choking the very reason that America was
founded and has become so prosperous in such a short time.
