While the doctor used to tell me to turn my head a cough, under Ryan's plan he'll also tell me to bend over? Coincidentally, that'll also make it handy to remove my wallet to obtain "easily affordable" health care.
The plan includes the popular GOP thought that employers will be happy to see a 69 year old employee show up coughing, wheezing, and limping into work. I know the theory is that we're living longer now, but they certainly aren't our most productive years. "Hang in there old timer, only one more year and then no more 10 hour days." "Here's a watch you won't have to wind too many times."

2. But don't worry -- employers will introduce a "senescent wage" |
|
(like the ever-popular "training wage" for child labor) so the decreasing production of the sick and aging worker won't be a drag on the company profits.

3. Eliminate Corporate Income Tax???? |
|
Really? The Supreme Court says Corporations are People...so, they need to pay the same tax that people do. They shouldn't have any special loopholes and those making a profit should NEVER be allowed to pay no income tax.

5. And eliminate tax on dividends, capital gains and interest |
|
The tax rate paid by rich investors would plummet. If they're not actually employed - just an owner of a corporation, say - they could end up paying no income tax at all.

6. Typical repug. Make sure the rich and corporations pay no taxes... |
|
and take away or reduce as many services as possible for the poor and middle class.
It's really time to let the repugs have their own country. I'm tired of them destroying what America is about.
