We may not agree on some other topics, but we certainly agree here...and I like your phrase, “The Makers and Fakers”! That is the problem, whether they are illegally here in AZ believing La Raza’s lie that this land belongs to them, or those sitting at home on the sofa watching Oprah and demanding payment, or whether they are the protestors who garner media spotlight, it is the “fakers” that need to be pulled off the spigot. Wake up Ryan...and McCain, and Flake, and...

While most makers are laudable, there is a divide among takers. There are the takers by necessity, and the takers by choice. We need to make it harder to be a taker by choice.

People who get social security and veterans benefits aren’t takers. They are collecting what they saved and earned respectively.

Hey Paul, you idiot. We dont disparage the broken, the bad luckers, the short termers. We do disparage the takers, the lifers, the druggers, the STD transmitters, the criminals, the political dependents.

And the politicians that use them or apologize for them.

Paulie is just letting us in on a little secret.

It's all just one big happy party in DC, isn't it Paulie?

No Dems. No RINOs. Just feeders at the trough who spend their time thinking about how to make the trough bigger.

Because for them, bigger is better.

Hey Paul — the top 10% of income earners paid 70% of all income taxes. The bottom 50% paid 3% of all income taxes. Now tell me again why you don’t understand that some people are makers and some people are takers?

Who was a taker? My mom, who is on Medicare? Me at 18 years old, using the Social Security survivor’s benefits we got after my father’s death to go to college? My buddy who had been unemployed and used job-training benefits to get back on his feet?

Your mom, nope she was forced to pay into medicare her entire working life. You, nope your dad was forced to pay social security his entire working life. Your buddy yep, he was taking part in government charity, though he might pay have paid it back over the years.

This guy is an A-hole. Hopefully he goes the way of his bosom buddy Cantor.

Paul Ryan can give me back ALL THE MONEY we paid into SS (all of our working lives) and Medicare taxes. Then he can take over the payments and taxation we have to PAY FOR SS AND MEDICARE -— these scumbag politicians never mention that NOTHING IS FREE and it continues to cost THE USER.

TAKERS? Government is the only TAKER. If these scumbags were really interested in the people, they would go after the MASSIVE WELFARE FRAUD that is robbing the taxpayers. Tell that too to the FOOD STAMP PRESIDENT!!!

CBS “Sunday Morning” is going to do a story on lyin’ Ryan this Sunday.

I saw a clip of the interview and story last week on the CBS Morning show.

In one segment, the interviewer shows Ryan his yearbook, where Ryan is called a “brown noser.” The reporter asks, “Are you a brown noser?” Ryan replies, “No, I’m not.”
I laughed out loud, because Ryan has been brown nosing his amnesty buddies at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for quite some time now.

I really liked Ryan at one time, but I can’t the RINO dirtbag any longer. I wouldn’t vote for him if he ran for dog catcher.

RE :”Paul Ryan Repudiates ‘Makers and Takers’ Language”

I picked up on this phony Ryan way back early 2011 when he was considered a hero my most here. No doubt the below worked in 2012 he wouldn't be saying this now.

Paul Ryan told MacIver Institute that Obama’s policies are feverishly creating more takers than makers, more dependents on the government
Paul Ryan: Takers vs. Makers Society (August 2012 Fox News)

Paul Ryan's 47 Percent: The "Takers" vs. the "Makers" (Oct 5, 2012 video)

Rand Paul is doing this too, denying his own past words,

Paul Ryan has always been a taker. A taker on the grandest scale.

He took from us and decreed for others TARP, auto bailouts, Medicare Part D, pushed for Amnesty, took are liberties Patriot Act, Bush budgets, etc.

Well, I don’t think pi$$ing-off the 53% that are still makers is going to get you too far either.

It’s good that Ryno is showing himself to be the skunk that he is now so we’ll know better next time.
