Paul Ryan communicated his message of freedom and liberty to appeal to millennials during his Wall Street Journal interview with Gerald F. Seib while admitting that “we’ve got our work cut out with us.”
“Think of all the things you get to do with your life,” Ryan said while holding his phone. With all that can be done with a cell phone, Ryan questioned why young people would want their choices taken away from them.
“You want to subscribe to a political philosophy that denies you choices? Denies you the ability to customize, like in things like health care and education, and retirement?”
Ryan also spoke of the youth experience:
Ryan’s philosophy “absolutely” ties in with a “libertarian impulse that carries with the technological change,” he explained. His “party is the party of individual freedom… of equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome… of natural rights, not government granted rights,” Ryan said.
The work is for all Republicans as Ryan said “we all have to do a better job of communicating how these beautiful principles that founded this country… are the best way to solve these principles, so that we are self-governing people… self-determining people. That’s the essence of the American idea.”
