It turns out that Paul Ryan isn’t really the salt of the earth, son of toil, dude-out-of-a-Springsteen-song-type he is so fond he is so fond of portraying himself as. I know. Shocking, right?
As the L.A. Times headline reports “Despite working-class image, Ryan comes from family of wealth.” The story definitely deliver the goods. For instance:
In the year after his father’s death, Ryan’s maternal grandmother set up the Ryan-Hutter Investment Partnership, which remains an important part of Ryan’s finances with assets of up to half a million dollars, according to the congressman’s 2011 financial disclosure statement. Ryan continues as the general partner running the entity for the family.
It looks like Paul Ryan, like so many Republicans before him, is one of those dudes who was born on third base and is desperate to persuade the world he hit a triple. Yes, like practically every other teenager of his generation, he worked a few low-paid service jobs for some pocket change when he was in high school.
But for him to distort that experience and try to pass himself off as “blue collar” is a grotesque masquerade. Historically, it calls to mind nothing so much as the antics of Marie Antoinette and the ladies of her court, who from time to time would amuse themselves by donning shepherdess drag and play-acting at being pure and simple folk, modest toilers of the earth.
...and let's not forget that Ryan took full advantage of Social Security benefits that he now wants to give over to Wall Street to gamble with..what a guy!

So His Aunt gave him a share of a trust that she set up that was worth $48,000 in 1998 (less in 1995 when it was established) and that is the equivalent of being born with a silver spoon? Are you nuts? Would he have been better off with his father being alive or a small trust and SSI?
He made great investments and the trust also made great investments that made him a lot of money. You could have made good investments too. Anything wrong with that? The Ten Investments That Made Paul Ryan A Millionaire - Business Insider
