It’s simply amazing how fast the most bleeding-hearted liberals change when hit in the pocketbook. And the one eating his words today is none other than HBO “Real Time” host Bill Maher.
Now, I’ve never seen him, know less than nothing about him or his show but have heard his name loudly proffered whenever liberal causes need undying support. Except, I guess if he’s asked to chip in to help cover the costs.
At this point I could continue my own dialogue on the subject, but after re-reading the comments he made during a panel discussion of current Capitol Hill budget policy, I think it’s best just to leave them as is from the show.
The panel included MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, who blasted Representative Paul Ryan’s budget proposal “as beneficial to the rich.”
She then said that, “The Ryan budget is a document that says the big problems in American right now are that rich people do not have enough money. They need relief from confiscatory tax rates.”
Mr. Maher answered: “You know what? Rich people — I’m sure you’d agree with this — actually do pay the freight in this country.”
Mr. Maher then cited statistics that California millionaires pay nearly 40 percent to the federal government and another near 15 percent to the state.
“I just want to say liberals — you could actually lose me. It’s outrageous what we’re paying — over 50 percent. I’m willing to pay my share, but yeah, it’s ridiculous.”
So, there we have it, another ticked-off limousine liberal finally coming out of the closet and stating that he’s tired of carrying deadbeat’s freight, although not in those exact words. And to boot, it’s another Californian who’s had enough taxation which adds to the high-profilers already leaving in droves.
And as for me I can’t wait for the day when Jerry Brown and his minions of losers are standing there in the sun all alone, scratching their heads and saying, “We’re hungry. Who’s going to feed us now that everyone else has left town?”
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
