Maher shockingly blasts “takers”: “We have 23.5% dirt bags in America”

Maher shockingly blasts “takers”: “We have 23.5% dirt bags in America”. “Like the Octomom. California pays, we pay to, you know, feed and cloth and spay and neuter her children. And she’s not giving back to society.” Sounds like another Obama supporter has noticed the effects of higher tax rates on his paycheck. Video at the link, but in the meantime, here’s an oldie but goodie….

  • GOOD MORNING MR. MAHER! Welcome to the real world the rest of us live in. As someone on disability for kidney failure, it is true that some of us are legit. But the vague "back pain" sufferers that reapply with lawyers who do nothing but get SS disability for people who have been turned down, sometimes multiple times, are a little suspicious to me.

  • Maybe, just maybe his paycheck got smaller because so many of us unsubscribed to HBO because of him. We did quite a few years back. :-) How many other dimwits like Maher will see the 'light'.

  • I know a dude who only gets his political information through Maher. BO supporter of course. I don't even bother. He works, doesn't have health insurance, under 30, I figure I'd rather see him live through the ramifications of progressive policies than try to reason with him. If I have a camera with me during his 'eureka' moment, it will probably make for a good unmotivational poster.

  • What's a matter Bill, that $1 Million dollar donation didn't buy you a tax break?
    You needed to do what your pal Harvey Weinstein did and pull a Reggie Love on "Dear Leader"

    • Well if he hasn't Reggied BO, it certainly isn't for lack of trying. I bet the light was blinding for those few seconds Billy pulled his head out of his ass, before putting it back in. I can't waitfor more reality to set in on this obnoxious steaming turd.

  • Shazam, the light finally went on in his gray matter. As more of the makers flee California, those left behind will be paying more and mor for the takers.

    What's a matter Billy? Is it difficult to live up and off the words your ignorant mouth spouts? Come on, be a "team player" and write moonbeam a bigger check and just STFU.

  • I guess Bill has seen his January pay stub. Now he's having buyer's remorse, perhaps. I don't mind Maher living with the consequences of his stupidity, the problem is that we have to live with it too.

  • He must be a product of the Government School system . If he says there is only 23.5 % dirt bags in his country , I can only assume he may not know how to count up to the big boy numbers .

  • My disdain for this puke sack renders him unforgivable. I abhor everything he says and just because he said this, something as obvious as it is doesn't score him any points. I would love to watch Sarah Palin kick his ass for real. You know she could, too.

    Now, onto the song. George Harrison wrote it after Wilson and Heath did in fact meet them at Heathrow upon their return from the first world tour to take account of the money they actually had in suitcases from the proceeds! They did indeed take 95% of the money. As I recall they may have stopped the unloading of the aircraft until they had exchequer personnel on station to monitor everything coming off. One for you, nineteen for me.
