A video replete with a soaring score, gritty b-roll and cinematic voice-overs celebrating House Speaker Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) legacy on tax reform is being promoted Monday on the official government speaker’s website as well as Ryan’s Twitter.
The “teaser trailer” precedes a full six-part series called “Decades in the Making” to be released Tuesday.
“It was political suicide,” the blue-eyed Wisconsinite sighs as the orchestral soundtrack swells.
Other talking heads, including former House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), punctuate the minute-long trailer, bemoaning how hard it is to get a big legislative achievement and how persistent Ryan was.
It is unclear who produced the glossy videos; a Ryan spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Watch the “trailer” here:
Yes so so very hard to pass tax cuts to rich people when Republicans have full control of the government.

And, true to Paul Ryan’s hubris-fueled form, he will release it on April 16, 2019, the day after 150 million American taxpayers discover the dirty little secret that they didn’t actually get a tax cut, they now owe thousands of dollars to the IRS because the Ryan-Trump Tax “Cut” simply changed the tax withholding tables to deliberately under-withhold…
Something tells me it won’t have the most recent development where the tax cuts energized an already overheating economy, leading the Fed to predictably increase interest rates. Those rising interest rates are in turn being applied to the massively swelling defecit, also caused by the tax cuts, leading to among other things, all of our 401ks being on the precipice of losing value in 2018. Yep. A real great story, Ryan.
Not doubting you, but is that true? If so, people are going to start figuring this out real soon.
