Bill Maher on California income taxes: “Liberals – you could actually lose me”

Bill Maher on California income taxes: “Liberals – you could actually lose me”. “Pointing at Virginia’s former Republican Congressman Tom Davis, Maher said, ‘You know what? Rich people – I’m sure you’d agree with this – actually do pay the freight in this country.'” It’s not the freight that’s bankrupting us, it’s the hobos riding on the train… the rich crony capitalist ones as well as the not so rich.

  • hah, all this means is that he looked up what the definition of classical liberal is and smacked his hand to his head.

  • Typical liberal loon. "Yeah tax those rich bastards. Sock it to em, they deserve to pay their fair share. What's that you say? Who me? What the hell is this crap? I thought everyone BUT me was gonna pay. How come I'm under a bus?"
    Screw Maher!

  • Poor Bill is now crying about how much his taxes went up? Screw him, they should have a special tax rate for morons like him, like at 100 percent.

  • This is the third time recently Maher has said something I agree with. Is he finally starting to mature with age? Are the people who pray for him doing him good? Is he seeing with his own eyes over time how liberalism doesn't work?

      • more likely a case of the “blind squirrel finding a nut some time”

        Well, we know he wasn't looking in his pants.

      • Anyone checked his ratings? Is he merely trying to broaden his audience? Walking back his far left positions now makes him a fraud, IMO, in that it makes him appear that they weren't genuine to begin with. He wasn't a complete loon back in the Politically Incorrect days.

        • So I did a 2 minute research on Google. Maher averages about a million viewers over two broadcasts on Friday nights. In other words, only stoners and/or those who watch Jon Stewart for news watch Maher. Oddly enough or maybe not, his highest rated show in eight years (shown last fall) was when he had Dinesh D'Souza on who took Maher apart according to the commenters in the article.

          My conclusion is that any move right is an effort to keep his job.

  • To be fair, Corporate Greed were the ones who stole our gold. No wonder our money is worthless and we have the debt we do.

  • This is equivalent to a liberal being mugged, except with taxes it takes longer. Willie Sutton robbed banks because that's where the money is - the same reason these wealthy liberals are going to pay through the nose. For some reason, they believe they will be protected; immune. It's kind of fun to watch, really.

  • If the Liberals "Actually " lose him , I hope Crowley finds him first .

    Maher , Obermann , Crowley , in the dreams of the Unicorn hunters .
