of Ryan's Plan was actually written by ALEC? I'm guessing the whole thing is an ALEC creation.

All we have to do is replace Obama. ... We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don't need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget. ... We just need a president to sign this stuff. We don't need someone to think it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate.Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become president of the United States. This is a change for Republicans: the House and Senate doing the work with the president signing bills. His job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has already been prepared.

Paul Ryan has been funded by the Koch brothers all along:

Ryan is one Koch-fueled candidate

That is the ALEC model, legislation written for private interests drawing on the public purse to privatize all functions that affect humans and the environment on a spread sheet of profits and losses for business. If this team gets in, your input into government, your vote, your rights and freedoms will be gone. There will be no need for a democratic government. That is the goal, often stated. There will be no one to stand in the way of the dismantling of the USA and installing a fascist economic system demanding that you fall into line. Your civil and property rights will be meaningless.
