Pau Ryan's War on Poverty and Inspiration for Upward Mobility




One of the memories from my youth was Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty which he did as a diversion as they sent mostly poor and mostly black people in the “draft” (without, too poor to afford, deferments) over to Vietnam for the sake of General Motors’ profits and quarterly dividends.

I can remember a pre-class discussion in college among fellow students back then how Lyndon Johnson or his wife Lady Bird held stock in a company that made the infamous “tiger cages” to house and torture North Vietnamese Prisoners of Wars. This of course for a profit etc. For profit is no sin – right?

In that great tradition of rich man politician Hypocrisy, Paul Ryan has suddenly discovered the poor and the losing war on poverty.  And no doubt to cover up public, not private, guilt over Janna’s Petroleum Industry “Blind” trusts funds and perhaps too as a cover for Ann Romney  making millions through “Elliott Associates” from taxpayer federal bailout money for the auto industry in her “Blind Trust” etc, 

- Paul Ryan has suddenly found the “Poor” and is promising them “Upward Mobility” just like Jesus did in his day.


Paul Ryan / Mitt Romney / Ayn Rand Beatitudes:


Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of welfare – 47%.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be sold a $20,000 on credit that they cannot afford funeral package for mom.
 
Blessed are the meek: for they shall pay my share of the taxes.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be given a “Truth” enema by FOX NEWS.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall be taken advantage of by the hedge fund managers.

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they are losers – no scratch, cash – nada.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be assassinated by the arms dealers and or droned on by the Military Industry Complex INC etc.

Blessed are they which are persecuted for tax sakes:  for theirs is the kingdom and banking system of the Cayman Islands.

Is Janna Ryan’s Name on the Missing Romney Tax Returns as His Tax Attorney?




As I am a timeline historian of sorts, I have to wonder when was the first time Mitt Romney met Janna Ryan, wife of buff U.S. Representative Paul Ryan? 

Was it at Norfolk Virginia ten odd days ago in front of the U.S.S. Wisconsin floating museum?

Or was it in 1998, in the Washington DC office of tax attorney Janna Little, with Mitt looking to hide cash offshore to avoid taxes?

Of course Janna is now a stay at home mom and no longer dabbles in the tax thingy even for friends and or relatives out the family home office mentioned on tax returns?

But knowing cautious, paranoid, secretive Mormon Mitt Romney, it is likely he wants to keep the Vice Presidency in the family, tax family that is?

Janna Ryan’s Black Sheep Uncle by Marriage – Governor David L. Boren of Oklahoma




Janna Ryan’s press releases mention her red neck granddaddy Reuel W. Little who ran unsuccessfully for Governor.  Grandad Little supported George Wallace by forming his own John Bircher type third party in Oklahoma, the American Party, so that Wallace could be on the ballot in OK in 1968.

Her uncle by marriage to her aunt Janna Lou Little is David L. Boren, who did successfully run for Governor of Oklahoma 1975-1979.  And was Democratic Senator from Oklahoma 1979-1994.

Governor Boren is not mentioned directly in the Janna Ryan press releases.  Was it because he endorsed Barack Obama in 2008 and is not likely to endorse him a second time around, family connections as all that? Or that her aunt divorced Boren and divorce is a sin in the Ryan Catholic household?

The Democrats are strangely silent too on this Black Sheep of the Little/Ryan family/dynasty. Perhaps it was because Senator Boren defied the Teddy Kennedy wing of the Dem party by voting for Robert Bork on the Supreme Court?

In any case, it sure helps for a struggling young Wellesley graduate with a law degree in tax avoidance to set up shop in digs like Washington DC where her uncle, black sheep or not, knew a few important people.  (Wink, nod)

Janna Ryan, An Average Lawyer, Lobbyist, Trust Fund Baby, Stay At Home Mom / Oil Business Welfare Queen

(Image *)

Paul Ryan's little woman stays at home and takes care of the kids.  Unlike the majority of women in America who have to juggle a job outside the home to make ends meet for their families, some moms can afford to stay at home and clip coupons and count the cash in the “blind” trust from mumsy and daddy in the oil industry and benefit from a Congressman husband who can make laws that gives gifts, subsidies, privileges, tax breaks to all your family in Oklahoma, an oil state economy, and in oil related businesses.

Oil heiress Janna Ryan, besides the trust fund thingy, is leveraged to the gills in oil speculation, fracking and any other petro dollar scams, scams that drive gasoline prices in this country half a dollar to a dollar more than it should be at the pump. Just an average stay at home mom with hubby Paul Ryan driving the station wagon to church on Sunday and praying that the poor will just go away and die and stop demanding bread and shelter on the Ryan’s hard earned tax dollars.  They are going to be billionaires one day and all on real taxpayers' dimes. 

Big Business Welfare Queens, the Ryans of Janeville Wisconsin.

7. Ryan supports $40 billion in subsides for big oil. In 2011, Ryan joined all House Republicans and 13 Democrats in his vote to keep Big Oil tax loopholes as part of the FY 2011 spending bill. His budget would retain a decade’s worth of oil tax breaks worth $40 billion, while cutting “billions of dollars from investments to develop alternative fuels and clean energy technologies that would serve as substitutes for oil.” For instance, it “calls for a $3 billion cut in energy programs in FY 2013 alone” and would spend only $150 million over five years — or 20 percent of what was invested in 2012 — on energy programs.
8. Ryan has ownership stakes in companies that benefit from oil subsidies . Ryan “and his wife, Janna, owns stakes in four family companies that lease land in Texas and Oklahoma to the very energy companies that benefit from the tax subsidies in Ryan’s budget plan,” the Daily Beast reported in June of 2011. “Ryan’s father-in-law, Daniel Little, who runs the companies, told Newsweek and The Daily Beast that the family companies are currently leasing the land for mining and drilling to energy giants such as Chesapeake Energy, Devon, and XTO Energy, a recently acquired subsidiary of ExxonMobil.”
