He falsely accuses Democrats of thinking one's class is fixed, while at the same time working to assure that that is exactly what happens and will continue to happen. After all the Koch's and the Waltons aren't rich enough.  But Ryan wants to throw more tax breaks from them and make the rest of us pay for them. But that is class envy?  In fact, the Koch's, Walton's and the rest of the 1% are so contemptuous of the Middle lass and the poor that they have hired the entire GOP goon squad to make sure the Middle Class disappears.  Thirty-plus years have shown the abject failure of trickle down voodoo "economics."  Who is waging class warfare again? It doesn't trickle down. Never has and never will.

Here's the full quote.  Notice the utter fabrication of a justification for his own contempt and class warfare.

"We should not shy away from class warfare," Ryan said. "We should take this head on, which is, the president is preying on the emotions of fear, envy and resentment, and he's speaking to people in America as if they're fixed in some class. That's the European model. That's the model our ancestors left to come create an opportunity society, equality of opportunity, equal protection of the law -- not equality of outcome. Government's role is not to equalize the results of our lives. And we should take that on in a moral way and defend the system of upward mobility."
