LETTER: Romney, Ryan Will Work to Make the Rich, Richer

U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren released the following statement on the selection of Rep. Paul Ryan as the Republican nominee for Vice President:

"For years now, America’s working families have been getting hammered, and Mitt Romney just picked up a bigger hammer.  The Ryan Budget is a plan to hit families, seniors, our kids harder — all so that millionaires and billionaires can get more tax breaks. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are a demolition team that will wreck our economy and leave working people and small businesses to struggle in the mess.

"The choice is clear. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will work to make the rich and powerful, richer and more powerful. I’m standing with President Obama to work for our families, to invest in our kids, and to give our small businesses a fighting chance to succeed because I believe that’s how we build a strong foundation for our future."
