Hey Paul Ryan!

You must be joking? You say that a family will make an increase of $2500.00 over ten years! Well, that figures out to be $250.00 a year! Even if you meant to say an increase of $2500.00 a year, you the lawmakers want to take away viable deductions for those who have to work to support others! Not is much of a tax break for any middle class families or in my case I have no family! Nice try GOP grubbing thieves!

I was told I could possible get $200 back in taxes since I make less than $32,000 a year from my disability income since I am too sick to work/teach. Since my ACA with subsidies just increased 30% (yearly total increase $2,600+) I am elated! Way to go GOP. Yippee!!!

if at some time when their parents were stuggling to make ends meet is so distant a memory to them that they have chosen to forget it. Since they hit it big in GOP politics their vision has been altered since all they see is green cash and gold bars through their GOP tinted glasses.

an aide opens their car door and makes sure they have a 200.00 hair cut, they have stepped out of reality.

I've been robbed by white people in suits carrying pens more often than I have by any other robber on earth.
