  • Once Again, Evil Republicans Making War on the Poor Ryan's Budget Would
    April 18, 2011 www.MRC.org (Vol. 24; No. 8) Once Again, Evil Republicans Making War on the Poor “Guess what? Paul Ryan is doing it on the backs of poor people and seniors...He’s not doing anything in terms of raising taxes to compensate and say, ‘you know what, the sacrifice is going to be shared across all areas of our economy.’ The rich get off like scoundrels. They’re happy, they’re like the executives on Wall Street this week who are getting all these big bonuses....Everyone says we’ve got to have tax cuts, we’ve got to have sacrifice for this country — oh, it’s just for the middle class and especially those despicable poor people.” — Juan Williams on Fox News Sunday, April 10. “You voted to give tax cuts to the richest Americans, the top two percent, you gave them tax cuts of about $800 billion over a decade, which is exactly what you guys are saying we now need to cut from health care for the poorest Americans. That was a trade off that you made. How can you justify that as a matter of ethics, morality or simply good conscience?...You are driving the government to bankruptcy and then balancing the budget on the backs of the poor....” — CNN’s Eliot Spitzer to Republican Congressman Jason Chaffetz, In the Arena, April 5. Ryan’s Budget Would “Kill Half” of Matthews’ Audience “Most people who follow the news and watch the newspapers every day and watch television shows like this on Fox or this network, MSNBC, or anywhere, on CNN, they — those most attuned to this debate over the budget are either retired or close to it....Let them [Republicans] offer a big slash in Medicare, which is going to kill half the people who watch this show.” — Chris Matthews talking about the House GOP budget plan on MSNBC’s Hardball, April 11.
