Paul Ryan Goes All Anti-Corporate On Us



Maybe I should've listened to more Crass growing up...despite the fact that they didn't know how to sing or play their instruments. Then maybe I could've recognized what Paul Ryan (R-WI) was saying about powerful corporate interests earlier instead after the economy imploded. From Forbes:

We must champion an aggressive reform agenda to tackle our outdated financial regulatory structure, the convoluted and anti-competitive tax code, and the looming entitlement crisis, and to fix what's broken in health care, energy, and more. We should focus on removing the hurdles the government has erected, rather than further centralizing power in Washington. The legislative reform must focus on empowering individuals instead of bureaucrats.

We cannot lose our commitment to individual liberty--a commitment we've shed blood to defend in generations past. The American idea cannot be defeated.
Even if the bailout saga wasn't an incredible drain on our nation's treasury (which it was), it was a tremendously dangerous precedent since it empowered moneyed interests with gangs of lobbyists and left the average small business owner out to dry. It's refreshing that a true conservative in Washington actually realizes this instead of kissing asses for campaign contributions. Paul Ryan for emperor!

Paul Ryan was receiving press and voicing his viewpoints prior to the presidential election. He's been absent of late, and missed. Or perhaps the MSM won't cover views in opposition to the current administration.

I don't find Mr. Ryan's concerns to be out of step with many business people I meet on a daily basis. They aren't led by pundits. They're being led by their memories of the 70's, Carter, and Reagan. It's inconceivable to many people that anything other than inflation can occur. Interest rates will go to 16%. Most of these people have one thing in common. They're old.
