Open Letter to Speaker Paul Ryan.......

Open Letter to Speaker Paul Ryan.......
Mr Ryan,

I saw your interview today on CBS This Morning. And unfortunately it is simply more smoke and mirror crap, both on taxes and race relations. I do not believe you or the GOP after decades of watching your party attack social safety nets vilifying things like social security and medicaid and medicare by using the word "entitlement". NO sir, they are TAXES we pay to insure social stability. I do not believe you when you claim you want to raise workers wages. I do not believe you when you claim you will stop big corporations from protecting profits in overseas accounts.

And, Mr Ryan, you also falsely accuse the left as being as bad as the bigots by accusing us of "identity politics'. We would LOVE nothing more than to focus on wages for all, urban, suburban and rural. But, we are not the party that vilifies and scapegoats minorities and to equate those who respond to the politics of scapegoating, as being "identity politics". That is simply another coded dog whistle tactic to equate both sides as being equal in blame.  

No Mr Ryan, we are not fooled. Neither on the issue of taxes or race relations. The right thing to do is to get back to anti monopoly concepts and regulations that protect consumers.The right thing to do is stop selling the idea that billionaires will end up on cat food if they pay more in taxes. The right thing to do is to stop accusing those standing up to bigotry of "identity politics". 

No Mr Ryan, the sane, those who value pluralism and economic stability are not going to let you pull this bait and switch garbage. We've let your party control the narrative since Reagan, and that has to stop. America is not here for the rich. America is not here to placate the insecurities of bigots or political bullies. America is here for everyone. No Mr Ryan, you will not get away with your double speak.
