Paul Ryan – His Financial Disclosure

 

As you can see from the chart, one can understand why Paul Ryan supports big business and is against the middle class. He has criticized President Obama’s tax plan for closing loopholes used by the top 1% and corporations that do not pay their fair share of taxes. Instead he wants to revise the tax code to make it more flat where the middle class and poorer taxpayers will pay even higher taxes. The Republican tax code plan must be stopped and Democrats can only accomplish this by voting in every election. You must make your vote count.
