I wish they would stop lying, and running ads with lies.

I am getting sick of being lied to.

Ryan doing press conference talking about growing the economy.

He is lying.

Corporate tax cuts WILL NOT GROW SQUAT.

Every economist says so.

huge cuts for the rich against the increases for the rest of us, it averages to a cut.

Let that sink in...the small number of very wealthy people versus the huge number of us and it still averages to a cut.

This plan really screws us over. Big.
