Rep Ryan's Analysis of "Porklosi Plan"

[Rep Paul Ryan [r-Wi] said the following as his analysis of how the Porklose verision of fluffyCare will RAPE Wisconsin residents and small businesses:]

If you use Christina Romer’s multiplier, her economic model - the Obama Administrator’s Economic model, [Speaker Pelosi’s Government Takeover of Health Care] will cost us 5.5 million jobs. A surtax on small businesses, bringing the small tax rate to 45 percent in Wisconsin, that top tax rate is 54.27 percent. If you take a look at the 8 percent payroll tax on all those employers who are going to shift their employees into the public plan, I would say 23 percent payroll tax on those workers and those firms. Outside actuaries are telling us from 50 to 66 percent of employers are going to dump their people into the exchange. That means that many employers with a 23 percent payroll tax on their employee, a 45 percent federal top tax rate on small businesses, and we’re going to do this in the middle of a recession when we have 10.2 percent unemployment? Technically, we’re probably out of this recession, but this is a sure fire way of getting us back into one.

The democRAT "No" List:

[If your representative is on this list, you are 'the lucky ones!!' No matter your political leanings, if you agree with his or her "no" vote, I strongly suggest that you send a note agreeing with their position and thanking them for siding with the majority of Americans! [Rasmussen poll: 54% against fluffyCare]. Sadly, my representative democRAT "Geeze-Louise" MacIntosh Rodham Slaughter, exercised her option as a member of the ruling class to ignore we serfs and voted "yea" as expected!!]

These ladies and gentlemen are to be congratulated for standing up to the likes of nancy porklosi and her "arm-twisters!!" While they're not republicRATs, they atleast respect the wishes of the majority of Americans! Sadly-but expectedly- my representative, "Geeze-Louise" McIntosh Rodham Slaughter, blindly goes along with the majority of the ruling class. She long ago lost the power to think for herself; without other "rulers" or her "attendents" guiding her every thought-chances are really good that she'd be "outstanding in the rain" for hours-at-a-time!!! A special note about Rep Eric Massa: For many years, I lived in the southern reaches of his district-in Steuben County, N.Y., so I followed the district when it was in the news. When I lived there, the seat was filled by Amo Houghton [of the 'Corning Glass' family] or recently, Randy Kuhl. Remember, Mr Massa got all the press by saying that he'd vote the way HE FELT, regardless of his constituents' thoughts. Maybe he did; maybe he didn't... but contrary to "Geeze-louise's" position-he voted in favor of the MAJORITY OF AMERICANS!!

The Lone republicRAT "Yes" Vote:

[The lone republicRAT "yes" vote originated from a district that includes city-center, New Orleans and most of the lands south of Lake Ponchartrain. This is the area that's continually devastated when the hurricanes come through the northern Gulf Coast. As such, most of the residents tend to gravitate toward and remain on "the government teat." It's somewhat understandable that Mr Cao [pron: gow] would vote that way; his constituents already getting all the government largess they can-even more should assure him of re-election!! "I have always said that I would put aside partisan wrangling to do the business of the people. My vote tonight was based on my priority of doing what is best for my constituents," Cao said.
