He came from a well to do family, but he talks about how he worked at McDonalds flipping burgers,
in reality when his Dad died when he was 16 he got survivor benefits from SS. Here is a bit of his history he does not talk about. He is what is wrong the Republicans now, most of them anyway, they are money hungry parasites. How could anyone vote this man in office. For sure if he keeps this up, he will be voted out.

Rep. Paul Ryan, the GOP’s most outspoken advocate for cutting and privatizing Social Security, has already benefited from Social Security himself, in the form of survivor benefits he received after his father’s untimely death.
From the age of 16, when his 55-year-old father died of a heart attack, until he was 18, Ryan received Social Security payments, which, according to a lengthy profile in WI Magazine, he put away for college. The eventual budget czar attended Miami University in Ohio to earn a B.A. in economics and political science, and landed a congressional internship as a junior.
Ryan’s congressional ascent, all the way to the top spot on the Budget Committee, began with his Social Security-funded college education.
In addition, Ryan's grandmother, a beneficiary of Social Security and Medicare, moved back into the Ryan family home when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
