You may have heard about the tax plan being proposed by Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. Here's an analysis of it but I can save you some time: The rich would pay a lot less taxes, the poor and middle class would pay more, Social Security would be crippled, so would Medicare and any form of government-involved health care…and the National Debt would go up, not down.
And now let's all watch as the Republican leadership tries to convince lower and middle class Americans that this would all be in their best interests.
