(Community Matters) If there were ever a poster child for Christopher Hayes’ Twilight of the Elite, Paul Ryan is it – the Congressman from a small town whose neighbors don’t even vote for him (seriously, he doesn’t even win the election support of his town, though markets well outside to the broader congressional district); someone who lived & went to school on his father’s social security death benefits but who begrudges others as takers vs makers.
While I’ve never met him, I don’t trust the guy. Jonathan Chait names the misgivings in this New Yorker article.
