The question is, "Whom's prosperity does Ryan have in mind?"
With business investments and a family inheritance, Rep.Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin and his wife have accumulated millions of dollars in assets and generated income last year well above his congressional salary, according to his most recent financial disclosure statement.
Mitt newly announced running mate reported assets in the range of $2 million to $7.7 million. The largest was the interest that his wife, Janna, holds in a trust resulting from the 2010 death of her mother, Prudence Little. Her interest in the trust falls in the range of $1 million to $5 million, Ryan reported.
Ryan also reported investment income that, along with a distribution from the inheritance, supplemented his $174,000 congressional salary – somewhere between $168,000 and $1.2 million....
So, if the Catholic Bishops want to know why Ryan is insensitive to the needs of the people of the USA, they can look at his disclosure statements and income tax returns.
