Paul Ryan has announced that while the math for his budget plan is far too complicated for little ole me to understand, the math adds up because he says so.

Why would I not trust him on this?  After all, he can do math.  I can only do arithmetic.

So everybody pays 20% less taxes but we make up for it by closing loopholes.  Okay, that seems like arithmetic and I’ll start adding that up as soon as you tell me which loopholes we’re talking about here.

Paul Ryan has been in Congress since Elvis died and if I have been paying 20% more taxes than I need to all that time, I’m kinda hacked off.  Hacked off at Paul Ryan.  Why has he been so quiet about this math trick?

I want to hear just three loopholes they would change.  And I bet that hiding your money off shore isn’t one of them.

Just guess, though.
