More Proof Media Lies: Ryan No Policy Wonk - Numbers Guy

MEMO TO MEDIA:  If Paul Ryan had any credentials to speak on policies and the math behind our Nation's budget deficit, he would be able to speak specifics about policies and he would have numbers to justify them.  Time and time again, Ryan has proven that he cannot answer even the simplest of policy questions and he cannot "do the math", always dodging actual numbers with a variety of misrepresentations, evasions, and outright lies.

Heck, Ryan can't even accurate fill out tax forms nor can he be trusted to report his entire income.  Paul Ryan literally knows nothing abut what is in the budget that bears his name.  By definition, Ryan is not a "policy wonk".  Ryan is not a "numbers guy".  Ryan is not "brave" or "courageous".  Paul Ryan is a coward that is afraid to speak directly to the American people about he devastating plans to undermine the U.S. economy and literally kills Americans by destroying successful programs that provide the most vulnerable citizens with access to health care.

Appearing on Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace tossed Ryan a softball, giving him an opportunity to finally talk about details in the rMONEY/rAYN tax plan which promises lower tax rates for all Americans while remaining revenue-neutral.  And what do you think Paul "Not a Policy Wonk/Not a Numbers Guy" did?
From VOICES "You Can't Make This Crap Up" department -- he said (video):

I don’t have the ... It would take me too long to go through all of the math,” Ryan responded.

Wallace nor anyone else expects Ryan to give a dissertation on the math behind he statements that he could cut taxes and increase revenues.  Wallace just wanted a simple statements, talking points, about what deductions might be eliminated, what "user-fees" might be imposed, and what programs would cut.  Ryan has no answers because his plan is not an honest attempt to lower what middle-class Americans pay in taxes.

Ryan is hiding behind the lie that cutting tax rates is paramount and, if other tax-code changes actually INCREASE tax liabilities for working Americans and even the poor, all that matters is the stated tax rate.  Nothing in his sham budget is based on real numbers or even reality.  rMONEY/rAYN would actually INCREASE taxers on the middle class, perhaps by as much as $2,000.

The rMONEY/rAYN plan to reduce tax rates by 20 percent, eliminating tax deductions to pay for the cut, certainly lowers taxes on Americans earning more than $200,000,  but the other 95% of Americans will see tax increases.

It doesn't take a lot of time to reveal the true intentions of the rMONEY/rAYN plan.  It doesn't require a mathematical proof.  All the rMONEY/rAYN need to do is identify a few examples to let Americans see how they achieve tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy -- America's top 5% of income earners.

Ryan won't do this.  Ryan has had three months to do this.  Ryan has not and today showed he is not even willing to go on faux with a compliant media shill and answer the most simple, nonthreatening question that could be asked about his tax plans.

Defeating rMONEY/rAYN is critical -- they are far to extreme for America.  Paul Ryan does not represent Wisconsin values either.  It is critical to defeat him in the race for his congressional seat.

Most important of all -- it is critical to send a strong message to the media that fraudulently propped this charlatan up as a "policy wonk" and "numbers guy".  Paul Ryan should have to answer for his lies and dangerous fiscal policies -- he is not presidential material for a run in 2016 nor does he have the intellectual integrity to be a pundit or commentary elsewhere in the media.
