Congressman Paul Ryan has introduced his Roadmap for America’s Future.
Many people say it has no chance of becoming law and being implemented.
In 1977 I was a legislative aide to the late Congressman Bill Steiger. He introduced legislation that rolled back the capital gains tax rate from 39.9% to 28%.
Everyone - including then President Jimmy Carter siad it had no chance to becoming law. However the country was demanding change. The country was in trouble. It passed.
Bill Steiger, then a young 37 year old Congressman from Wisconsin made history by doing the right thing and beating all odds.
Can history repeat itself with a 36 year old Congressman from Wisconsin 31 years later? Will Paul Ryan’s Roadmap for America’s Future become law?
America is in trouble. If the American public demands change - history can repeat itself.
