Ryan will never see the disconnect between his âneedâ for family time and the need of others for the same benefitâŚ
it requires empathy and some identification with people that he clearly lacks⌠he seems to consider himself special and above the frayâŚ
he believes the AynRand crap about special people deserving special benefitsâŚ
as if âworkingâ @120 days a year is especially demanding and much much harder than people working 60 hour weeks with no additional compensation or people working two jobs at minimum wage in order to surviveâŚ

his stance on family leave will steadfastly remain simply a self absorbed view of justifiable personal privilege - and only for a highly select few⌠and certainly not for peasants.

"He is paid by the corporations to represent their interests " - BINGO!!!
Paul Ryan is an unmitigated, opportunistic whore who will use his position to amass the largest pile of wealth conceivable - through any means necessary - it is all about him!

âFamily Valuesâ Ryan. Here is the opportunity to make the Republican party more relevant to working people by simply letting them spend more time with their family. A lot of working people are busting ass to find ways to parent their children into a better life. Itâs amazing how much effort Republicans expend to make damn sure this will never happen.

Ryan wants to destroy Social Security, although that didnât stop him from collecting after his father died. As you can see, Ryan is very much a âDo as I say, not as I doâ kinda guy.

Chile please! Family time is not for lazy working class people who work multiple low wage jobs, and put in 18 hour work days. Family time is for career politicians that went to school on the taxpayers dime, and maintain a six figure salary while working 180 days out of the calendar year.

The hypocrite also want to do away with Social Security⌠(having received benefits himself as a young man as his father passed away)
Thatâs so old hat that it hardly even gets brought up anymore, why would anyone think he will see the hypocrisy here, regarding family leave.
By all means we should tweak him and his party on it though.
Leaving only 185 days of family timeâŚ
Heâs got it toughâŚ
Mr. Ryan is selfish. What he gets you cannot have. He displays this personality quite openly in his budget.

Itâs hard out here for a pimp! LOL
I feel you Senator,but Ryan IMO would probably assume that us everyday folks donât or havenât earned enough for the same recognition that he espouses for his family.
Ryan: I am against Family Leave legislation. I want to give others opportunity to work hard while I take time off. Rich and powerful people should be mandated to go on long vacation so others can get the opportunity to work. I will support such legislation.

Well said Rep. Gillibrand! Paul Ryan is a fellow who, but for a short stint one summer driving the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile, never held a job outside of government in his entire government-assisted life. He has, ironically, made a career of wagging his finger at âBig Gummitâ takers, the poor who would like simple sustenance wages and âslackersâ who just wonât work. And NOW he has the gall to demand âfamily timeâ for himself from a job, as with all Congresscritters, gives him 230+ days a year OFF!
Fu*k You, Paul RyanâŚyou government taker, slacker and grifter who just wants free stuff.

The House will be in session just 111 days in 2016, the lowest number of days in decades, but they wonât be with the family, theyâll be rattling their tin cups to get reelected citing their thoughtful and caring work on behalf of their constituents.
Like that will ever happen. Heâs from the con/bag school of âI got mine, the rest of you can go screwâ, ideology.
Oh man, I just said the same exact thing.
Great minds clunker.
rAyn calls this home. Itâs the 6-bedroom $400,000. mansion in Janesville that was built by Paul Parker the inventor of the fountain pen.
