The Ryan material uncovered is not really surprising but should encourage one to be very aware of "words said" now versus "hidden agendas". I'm accepting the source and research presented as credible.

This isn’t from a secret video, it's from the untranscribed portion of
Ryan’s 2005 speech at the Atlas Society’s “Celebration of Ayn Rand.”
It fits well with the Romney video because it makes clear that middle
class entitlements, “so called defined benefit programs” such as Social
Security and Medicare ARE an explicit strategic target because they are
collectivistic, socialistic and foster dependency.
This is the event where Ryan stated that Rand was the “one thinker” who is the “reason I got involved in public service;” and that Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead are “required reading in my office for all my interns and my staff.” Statements he would latter dismiss as “urban legends.”
The speech has been hidden in plain sight on the Atlas Society website, which offers only a partial transcript. This omits several revealing passages that illuminate Ryan’s philosophy as it relates to policy priorities.
It is impossible to summarize these statements without sounding like a
breathless conspiracy theorist. Here’s what Ryan says. Don’t trust my
bullets. Read the transcript. Don’t trust my transcript, listen to
the audio on the Atlas Society site.
- Ryan describes Social Security and Medicare as “collectivist” and “socialistic.”
- Ryan’s
strategic plan: privatize Social Security and Medicare in order to
convert people from “collectivism” to believers in a “individualist
capitalist” philosophy. So that there will be “more people on our team”
who “won’t listen to” Democrats.
- Ryan’s acceptance of
Pinochet’s Secretary of Social Security José Piñera’s similar program of
Social Security privatization as a “moral revolution” that made
Marxists into capitalists who started to read the Chilean equivalent of
the Wall Street Journal. Ryan is overheard, “Yeah” “That’s right.”
