Furthermore, Ryan said conservatives can do nothing or do something. He said doing nothing means allowing stagnation to become the normal way of life.
According to him, “Stagnation is a breeding ground for a class-based society where elites in Washington seek to micromanage and predetermine the path of our lives.”
Ryan believes America has the “chance to get off this downward path” and remove these barriers to upward mobility.” The country has the opportunity to “restore the value of work and ingenuity.”
He asked conservatives, “Are we going to be a country that renews its promise, or are we going to live on the graying laurels of the past?”
Moreover, the House Speaker reminded conservatives that they’ve been talking about tax reform for decades. Now is the time to seize the moment and make it a reality.
Ryan says tax reform critics helped rig the system
Ryan warned that an army of lobbyists will protect special interests and derail tax reform. He is counting on the conservative movement to defend the efforts of the Republican Party to overhaul the tax code.
