Paul Ryan Charging Town Hall Attendees $15 To Yell At Him
Corporate rentboy Paul Ryan has a "neat market solution" for making sure that his constituents leave him the hell alone next time he wants to preach to a town hall crowd about his fever dreams for destroying Social Security and Medicare: charge everyone $15 to come in the door. "What does no one in America with something to lose if Social Security and Medicare are destroyed have to spare by this point? Fifteen bucks!" See how that works out? Go yell at socialist President Obama, who still lets everyone yell in his face for free, for socialism.
In what appears to be an effort to avoid the free-for-all town halls that have plagued recent contentious congressional recesses, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) and other Republican members of Congress have chosen to charge admission to their home-district appearances.
Ryan will speak September 6 to the Whitnall Park Rotary Club in Greenfield, Wisc. Admission to the event is $15 per person and includes lunch.
Ryan has no free public town hall appearances scheduled during the recess.
The last time he held a free town hall, in Milton, Wisc. in April, Ryan was booed while trying to explain his proposal for the federal budget, which included drastic cuts to entitlement and benefit programs. Other Republicans around the country were on the receiving end of similar heat from their constituents. Ryan even had police remove one heckler from a town hall event in Racine, Wisc.

But does he float like a butterfly?
But he's speaking specifically to the people he represents: people who have money to spare.
