It's not magic, and it's not perfect, but the free market system has been proven to be the best thing going. It has lifted more people out of poverty than any system around. That is simply a fact. You operate under this silly notion that what makes for a good politician is that they care the most, or at least profess to. There will always be poor people, but it's funny that there are a lot more of them under Obama, who supposedly cares soooooo very much about them. What about tomorrow's people? How is it anything short of a moral outrage to finance your great, all-loving, all-caring welfare state on their backs, stealing from tomorrow so people can live beyond their means today? But I suppose it serves all those little bastards right for the crime of... not being born yet. Do you care about them, or do you just care that you get yours?
As for Paul Ryan, I'm not going to answer for someone else. Fuck if I know or care what he thinks. But between their love of debt-financed welfarism and their pathological abortion fetishism and their willingness to let the public education system fail to teach kids how to fish year after year after year just to avoid making the teachers unions angry, the Democrats have no business pretending to care more about teh childrenz than those mean, old Republicans.
