EXCLUSIVE — RYAN TO OBAMA: GET ‘REVENUE THROUGH ECONOMIC GROWTH,’ NOT TAXES

by on November 15, 2012

House Budget Committee chair Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) has rejected President Barack Obama’s demand to raise taxes as part of Obama’s proposal to achieve $1.6 trillion in additional tax revenues to avoid the “fiscal cliff.”

Instead, Ryan backed Speaker John Boehner’s position, which is that any new tax revenues must be achieved without passing higher tax rates.

In an exclusive statement to Breitbart News, Ryan specified that new revenues should come through economic growth and tax reform, not tax hikes:

Speaker Boehner has outlined a bipartisan way forward to avoid the “fiscal cliff” and get our economy growing: common-sense entitlement reform coupled with pro-growth tax reform. We can find common ground on responsible spending restraint and greater revenue through economic growth, but we have yet to see either a serious plan or leadership from President Obama. Speaker Boehner and House Republicans have delivered both.

    and when the wealth producers can no longer “produce” 😦 …and tax “revenue” is no longer “collectable” 😦 … the “fiscal cliff” will become our “economic ditch” of a reality 😦

      You’ll have people throwing molotovs in the street demanding the rich pay their fair share, forgetting the generations of welfare ancestors who soaked it all up for themselves!

    Marxists are “bi-partisan” enough to get what they want, and then eliminate their competition, either politically or otherwise. Keep that in mind, Rep. Ryan. Tread carefully.
