Pual Ryan tells the truth about health care

[Farnhamia]

Not really. The Democrats have tried but the Republicans have blocked and filibustered for four years. Come on, they actually threatened to let the US default on its legal obligations two years ago if they didn't get their way, and then John Boehner bragged about getting 95% of what they wanted.

its both parties fault, both are stubborn

There comes a point when you have to tell the bullies no.

*false equivalency inserted*
From what I know, Obama met them halfway through all of the proposals. Like the taxes-

And they took our lunch money and stuffed us in a locker anyway.

The universe where Paul Ryan wants to destroy the American health care system must be the same one where the sequester will cost 170 million jobs.

According to the title though, it's not Paul Ryan saying that, it's his alter ego, "Pual Ryan."

I knew it, another sleeper agent from the Planet Gaffe. Closely allied with Maxien Waters.

[Xathranaar]

I just got here, and haven't actually read anything, but I'm going to go ahead and say that Mavorpen and Farnhamia are exactly right.

He was supposed to be locked up in a bunker somewhere.

[The New Sea Territory]

Ok, that "50" is not actually 50 of all of their taxes.

The US uses progressive taxation.

Learn what that is, then come back.

Just saying, having done a thoretical tax calculation yesterday, the highest bracket is 35%.

Ha. Hahaha. No no no.

My Grandfather is a doctor. He pays 42-ish % tax. Yeah.
This is theft. Taxing him is not, but that's ridiculous.

[Vetalia]

I will be honest, though, Ryan's quote did make me think of this classic blast from the past:

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

I didn't know that whether something is theft or not depends on the amount taken.

Damn! The sequestration hit our bunkers.

How the hell did that happen, unless you're including local/state and FICA taxes in his total tax burden and/or estate and gift taxes?

Apparently laws are now applied in a progressive manner.

Note that I said bracket. Also, the number comes from the 2012 income tax rate thing. Where's your source?

[Vetalia]

You know it, August 5, 2004.

Ha. Hahaha. Your grandfather shouldn't do his own taxes.

Everyone knows that. if i steal a packet of biscuits i get a caution, if i steal a car i go to prison. If i rob an entire country i get a bailout and a layoff bonus.

Ah, it's the too big to punish!

I think he is adding Federal, State, Local taxes.

[Vetalia]

Is that possible?

Maybe if you're using instructions from a few years back for a 709/706, but otherwise you'd have to be preparing your 1040 using 1982 instructions to get anywhere near that. Now if you add on state/local taxes that's entirely possible.

[New England and The Maritimes]

I wonder when the GOP is going to give up their congressional health care that is paid for by taxes?

[Grad Duchy of Luxembourg]

Is that possible?

Maybe if you're using instructions from a few years back for a 709/706, but otherwise you'd have to be preparing your 1040 using 1982 instructions to get anywhere near that. Now if you add on state/local taxes that's entirely possible.

Now if he is suggesting that Federal, State, Local taxes are all theft... I suggest he get himself declared a nation state in real life.
