Unlike Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan’s personal wealth is no mystery



Ryan’s overall net worth falls between $927,100 and $3.20 million, making him the 124th wealthiest member of the House, according to an analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics of the new Republican vice presidential candidate’s 2010 personal financial filings.

Additional personal financial disclosures by Ryan, who by law has each year filed such reports since entering Congress in 1999, indicate that the Wisconsin congressman has maintained well-above-average wealth for the duration of his congressional tenure.

Ultra-wealthy Romney, in contrast, has largely occluded his recent personal financial history.

He’s refused to release his recent tax returns before 2010, and unlike Ryan, is under no obligation to release annual personal financial disclosure reports.

While running for president in 2007, Romney did file a federal public financial disclosure report that listed hundreds of assets across numerous financial categories.

Ryan, meanwhile, has to date been under no significant pressure or obligation to release his personal Internal Revenue Service filings, although calls to do so will likely begin immediately.

“It’ll be very, very interesting to see if Ryan releases his tax returns,” said Kathy Kiely, managing editor for the nonpartisan Sunlight Foundation, which tracks political money.

Ryan’s latest personal financial disclosure report, which covers calendar year 2011, lists several dozen stocks and mutual funds he or his wife, Janna, own.

Ryan’s individual investments are generally modest, ranging in value from $1,001 to $15,000. (Federal law only requires lawmakers to report their assets and liabilities in broad ranges.) These include stock in well-known companies that run the gamut from tobacco and oil interests to fast food and athletic wear.

Among them: Amazon.com, Air Products Chemicals, Accenture, Berkshire Hathaway, Estee Lauder, McDonald’s, Kraft Foods, Nike, Praixair, Ralph Lauren, Starbucks, Priceline.com, Mastercard, Google, Wells Fargo, Procter & Gamble, IBM, United Technologies, Visa, General Electric, ExxonMobil, Apple, Bristol Myers Squibb, Citrix Systems and tobacco companies Altria and Phillip Morris.

Ryan also reported a holding in the Ryan Limited Partnership worth up to $250,000. He reported no financial liabilities.

Janna Ryan also individually reported a living trust fund worth between $1 million and $5 million, that ranks as the largest asset they collectively reported for last year.

She also individually reported up to $250,000 in assets tied to gravel rights with Blondie & Brownie LLC, $100,000 in mineral rights holdings, as well as up to $100,000 worth of holdings in the Little Land Company. All are located in Oklahoma.

Paul Ryan Social Security Plan Calls For Private Accounts

WASHINGTON - Mitt Romney's choice of Paul Ryan as his running mate has already reignited the debate over the future of Medicare. Ryan has proposed ending the guaranteed benefit and instead giving individuals vouchers to pay for private insurance, which Ryan refers to as "premium support." By reducing the amount of money that Medicare would pay out over time, the plan reduces its long-term costs in an effort to become solvent without raising taxes or lowering health care costs. But it leaves seniors on the hook should costs rise faster than the value of the vouchers.

Ryan will be the V.P. in a few months because your guys suck! Deal with it!

Is anyone here backing the other Guy????
This is about Repukes.. Deal with that and go rant on your own threads..

They aren't "my guys' and I seriously doubt in any way whatsover, that Mr Romney and Mr Ryan are "Your guys' except they'd happily let you continue in your delusion as long as it keeps the system running, and their collective pockets full of stolen cash.

Anyone who would support EITHER side of this fight, is either self deluded, or one of the scabs with their hands in the public pocketbook.

This game no longer cares about chumps like you Mr Jack Handy, except that you are stupid enough to believe there's a choice.

What about Ron Paul or Huntsman? We live in a country where most people didn't vote for them and you are pissed? deal with it.

I'm pissed that between the two parties it doesn't matter who we elect we get screwed just in different ways.

No, Mr Hand believes in fairy tales. Only you and I have a clue Topcat. Of course no one "voted" for Ron Paul. He wants to take the money train down.

I think it was the whole Jew hating thing that wrecked it for him. If not for that he sounded good.

Don't I remember you saying voting for someone other than Romney is a waste? So don't vote for the best just the party! That is totally what is destroying America. Both parties don't respond to the people[ just their higgest bidder masters] because they know that their Party Will get them re-elected.
