Paul Ryan's Family Plan
(More chicanery from another Wisconsin G.O.P. legislator)

Ryan's office is claiming that he wasn't thinking
Of who'd benefit from extending tax breaks
To energy companies leasing the land
In which he and his family own lucrative stakes.

Yet four family companies lease land to the firms
That will benefit from subsidies in Ryan's plan.
So some of the forty-five billion they receive
Will end up rewarding the "family man".

One hundred and seventeen grand in rewards,
Plus sixty thousand the year before that,
Is looking a lot like a conflict of interest –
Like a self-serving war by another fat cat.

But as Budget Chairman he never gave it a thought.
He's one of the wealthiest third of The House.
No wonder his Vouchers to end Medicare
Were of little concern to Paul Ryan & Spouse.
