So Paul Ryan is bold.

Really? Is it bold to champion the rich? Is it bold to bankrupt the country? What's bold about taking food stamps away from starving people who have lost their jobs? What's bold about decreasing benefits to Social Security? Is it bold to outspend all the other countries combined in war investment? Is it bold to restrict voting privileges? What have these guys done that deserves to be called bold? What?

I'll tell you who was bold. Ike. Ike was bold. Ike kept a tax on the rich that was 90%. Sounds harsh but here's what Ike knew. The rich can live like kings on 1% of what they take in. The rich hate paying taxes so much that they would rather give it away to charity or real business ventures than to give it to the government. So not only did the rich pay higher taxes under Ike, they also invested much more heavily in the organizations that most need the money.....small business start ups and charity. You wanna end this recession? Jack the rates up on the rich and never look back. Now that's bold!
