Middle Schooler ripped off by Ryan

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—The middle-school student who wrote the Republican health-care bill that was unveiled earlier in the week complained on Friday that he still has not been paid for his work.

Kevin Tenco, a seventh grader from House Speaker Paul Ryan’s congressional district, in Wisconsin, said that Ryan hired him two weeks ago to write the American Health Care Act with the promise that it “wouldn’t be too much work” and that he would be paid handsomely for his effort.

“He said I would get paid, like, five hundred dollars, and I could buy a Nintendo Switch,” Tenco said.

There a unemployed college students who would have jumped at the opportunity to work for an Ayn Rand devotee and get to network with successor freeloaders.

The trouble with kids today is that they want to get something for something.

Free lunches are for those who inherit wealth; all others must rent bootstraps

Nutrition is a privilege earned by those clever enough to devise successful inheritance strategies.
