Remember “voodoo economics?”<\/p>\n
It’s baaack!<\/p>\n
James Sensenbrenner and Paul Ryan have voted for a “tax reform” bill that actually hurts the middle class and threatens large cuts to Medicare.<\/p>\n
Ryan says the cuts, which will cause a $1.5 trillion deficit, will create a million jobs. That’s $1.5 million per job. Ask a small business person how many jobs she can create with a million extra dollars. I’ll bet it’s more than one.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Ron Johnson is holding out for more breaks for “pass through” corporations that would benefit people like himself. The average taxpayer? Not on Johnson’s radar. And not a peep about the destruction of the Individual Mandate for healthcare, which will take healthcare from 11 million Americans and jack up premiums for the rest of us.<\/p>\n
The corporate tax cuts will benefit CEOs and shareholders, but no one else. The GOP is writing bills in secret and ramming them through without discussion — to help the 1% not, ironically, most of the people who voted for them.<\/p>\n
As someone pointed out, Paul Ryan has one plan: Sometimes he calls it “healthcare reform,” sometimes he calls it “tax reform.” But whatever you call it, it’s a gift to folks who don’t need it, at the expense of those who do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
