Once again Bill Maher nails it perfectly. The Bush tax cuts were the worst thing to happen to the American economy in the last 10 years. And the middle class just keeps supporting it, taking it lying down.
Ann Coulter? My penis is playing tricks on me. Luckily I'm not ruled by my penis, despite what my internet history says. She's pretty hot for a woman her age, I would definitely hit that, but the she starts talking. The vile that comes out of her mouth is extraordinary, my brain takes over.
Bill should have mentioned how much of the money saved by the 2004 tax break for overseas income the CEOs and shareholders took for themselves: 92%
90 fucking 2 percent.
The tax break also resulted in a significant INCREASE in overseas money in the coming years, because companies were hoping the government would do it again. So why not hoard all their money overseas.

Yep they tried trickle-down Reganomics for 30 YEARS. How many more years does this country do something that has proven in practice does not work?! It's like saying, "I want to feed to birds...so I'll feed the elephant and the crumbs that fall out of its' mouth will feed the birds." They don't create jobs, they keep more for themselves and in the process rig the system in their favor. So much for competition.
@hudson2441 It may have worked better had the elephant not flown to china, egypt, isreal, and the rest. Don't forget, the elephant shits and dies, I think shipping it overseas along with jobs isn't helping.
@IoEstasCedonta Believe it or not, they are actually good friends. They disagree on politics, and how the government should do certain things, but they are still close friends. Opposites attract? O.o
If Bill Maher were running for president and repeated this per batum as his speech it would blow the other candidates out of the water! (it might even wake up a few Republicans :-)
@IoEstasCedonta Believe it or not, they are actually really good. They disagree on politics, and what/how the government should do certain things, but they are still close friends. Complete opposites attract? Maybe?
rich people dont pay taxes... yeah, my fam paid $100,00 in taxes. how much did you pay? thats what i thought. this guy is an idiot. Obama is the worst pres in history. he has done nothing but put our country in debt. pointless spending. awful health care. but its all the republicans fault. because the people who are not intelligent have all the money and the ones who are don't. makes sense.
@emantabrizi no we have. we can easily do it. liberals generalize every "rich" person into someone who doesn't pay taxes. well your wrong, majority do. taxing the rich to bring them down to a more "fair" level of income won't work. no one will work hard. society is like a pyramid. rich on top poor on bottom. Pyramid's can't stand on the point. it will collapse. that is what will happen to our society.
@diaryofanaxeman59 ... I cannot speak for all liberals, but I don't believe that "rich" people don't pay taxes. However, I do believe they pay a lower percentage of their income than do the rest of us (i.e. the 99%), and I'm talking about their tax burden after all deductions. The most obvious example would be Warren Buffett paying 17% last year while his secretary paid 30%. Do you think that's fair?
@emantabrizi i dont think thats fair. so why is it fair to have the "rich" pay 30% and the "poor" pay 17%? straight flat tax, no loop holes. everyone pays the same percent. thats fair. making people who have more money pay a higher percent is wrong. because they have more money, they will be paying more. if we get rid of all these stupid government programs that give out free money for no work and no incentive to get a job our government would have a lot more money instead of charging rich more.
@diaryofanaxeman59 ... No, I do not support a flat tax. That would increase the tax burden for the majority of Americans. It's fair for the "rich" to pay a higher percentage because they have less to lose (ex: someone making $2,000,000 paying 50% income tax would still have $1,000,000, but someone making $50,000 paying 50% would be left with $25,000...HUGE difference!). Now, I do agree with you that welfare must come to an end. That's 10% of the federal budget!
@emantabrizi that wouldn't increase the tax burden. if you eliminate all exceptions that the "rich" use to avoid paying taxes you can have a flat tax. there will be a large increase in income for the feds. you wouldn't have to have a tax percentage thats high. it can be lower because the rich will be paying more than they do now because there will no more loop holes for them to avoid paying taxes. but if we keep going in the direction we are, the rich will be left with nothing left. making it so
@diaryofanaxeman59 ... If you eliminate all deductions, then yes, it WILL increase the tax burden for the majority of Americans. The rich will be left with nothing? The rich are getting RICHER, not poorer. No one will work hard? Where do you get this stuff? The top tax bracket in this country used to be 90%, and we still had plenty of billionaires. Now, it's 35%. I think the "rich" will be just fine.
@emantabrizi explain how if you eliminate the loop holes that the rich use to not pay taxes, that will then make the poorer people pay more. that doesn't even make sense. if you constantly turn to the rich and raise there taxes higher and higher to make the poorer people have more money then no one will work hard. a perfect example. you go to school, teacher says we have "spread the wealth" to the less fortunate kids who can't get good grades. first test comes, you get an A that kid fails.
@diaryofanaxeman59 ... You're not of working age, are you? If you were, then you would know exactly what I'm talking about. When you file your taxes, you receive a standard deduction. For the 2011 tax year, my deduction was $5,800. If you remove that deduction, then my tax burden would go UP by $5,800. Do you understand now?
@emantabrizi what you fail to understand is, yes i do have a job i file taxes every year. i'm not saying get rid of deductions i'm saying fix the loop holes. Your tax burden won't go up at all! LOOP HOLES not DEDUCTIONS. They are different, do you understand now? And way to ignore my point by the way and a prime example of why simply raising taxes on the rich more and more will fail. I've answered your points every time. With the same answer because you don't seem to understand.
@diaryofanaxeman59 ... Wow, are you sure you file taxes? If you did, then you would know that a "loophole" is simply a type of tax deduction. If YOU don't even understand your own points, then how do you expect anyone else to understand them? LOL
@emantabrizi thats just insulting. Now there are 2 ways to have a fair way of taxing. flat tax, by fixing the loopholes (which yes i do understand what they are) which wouldn't affect you at all. OR getting rid of income tax all together and having a straight sales tax. Which taxes rich more because they are rich and buy more, and the poor less because well they don't. Along with all the people that have illegal forms of income (drug sellers, illegal immigrants) would be paying their fair share
@diaryofanaxeman59 ... That's not insulting. That's encouraging. :-) Calling me an idiot? THAT'S insulting. It's okay. I forgive you. So, you would only fix the loopholes for the rich (I'm assuming because you said it wouldn't affect me, and I'm not rich). Now, is that fair to them? Also, what would be the sales tax rate? 10%? 12%?
@emantabrizi well considering they are the ones taking advantage of the systems loopholes to avoid paying, wouldn't you think that needs the most attention. And since i don't know all the numbers but i would say it would very from 15-20%. but what you have to remember is that that includes all the taxes that is taken from your paycheck. You can choose how you spend the money. You won't be paying taxes if you don't want to. Now there are necessities that you need. Thats where you will pay your
@emantabrizi share of taxes. As of now there are millions and millions living in this country not paying taxes. This way you can now tax them and increase the revenue by billions. No one will be able to escape paying taxes. Fair tax is the most fair way to tax people, and would be the easiest and simplest. It would eliminate the IRS which as we all know is horribly corrupt.
@diaryofanaxeman59 ... So, no income tax and a 15-20% sales tax? Okay, what would be the incentive to spending money here in the United States? If I'm a C.E.O., why would I even live in the United States? I'll just work here and send all my money either overseas or to Canada.
@emantabrizi Canada already has a national sales tax. Its different in each province of canada. About people sending money overseas, well that is already happening, while there is also a lot of people not paying taxes already. Now there are also a lot of things that are only offered here in the U.S. And to just work here and not live here now that most likely wouldn't happen. You would end up spending more on travel for your company then you would in taxes. That would be horrible money managment
@emantabrizi of taxes when they never have. but this will never happen because the government is so corrupt. So by fixing the loopholes so they can't take advantage of deductions and not pay taxes would be fair. Yes i know what they use, charitable donations, tax free bonds and what not. It needs to be reformed. Just taxing the rich more is not fixing the problem but rather sweeping it under the rug. Surely you can agree with this.
@emantabrizi Now your grade will be brought down to a C. Your not failing you have points to spare, you'll be fine. But no you'll be pissed because you work hard for your A and that kid did nothing. So next test knowing that kid won't try, you won't try either because you know you can't get higher than a C. and eventually everyone fails because no one works on getting the grades. Its the same thing with money and the economy.
@emantabrizi no one will work hard because they know majority of their money will go to taxes. would you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on school to make a good living in a great job if most of your money goes to the government? i think not. why should you? you would be putting yourself in debt to never make enough to get out.
The rich do pay taxes. Where does this "the rich don't pay taxes" come from? I have a few rich friends and believe me, they pay taxes. Nothing like generalizing to make your point.
@Handiman544 Do you know what he means by rich people? He doesn't mean upper middle-class, he means Haliburton, Enron, Goldman-Sachs, JP Morgan and all the big business interests whose CEOs don't pay taxes at all.
Economics is soooo hard isn't it Bill? Because then you'd have to acknowledge that the rich pay the vast majority of taxes. You'd also have to acknowledge that raising the tax rates on the rich only incentives them to find more loopholes, which is by far the biggest revenue problem. You'd also have to acknowledge that we don't have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem. Ooops.
@ffiinnrroodd It was to demonstrate the contradictions within the various problems and their supposed solutions that others are constantly citing. My bad if that wasn't clear.
@Glad1kun I agree that there's a middle ground, I just think we're already past it. I don't buy that the best way to help the middle class become wealthier is through the government.
Why can't the Democratic politicians, including Obama, lay out their case as effectively as Bill Maher? That's the problem with the Dems--too eager to compromise when they need to kick ass. Obama needs to hire Maher's writers.
Somebody please tell Ann Coulter that it's better not to laugh than fake laugh like a squirrel in the middle of an asthma attack shouting into a bullhorn.

The battle over taxes is over for now, somehow the rich won this and will continue to have record low taxes while creating no new jobs. They will probably hope for a rep president so deregulation and low tax rates continue. This will destroy the middle class and create generations of poor people.
@sissyfist Voters can only blame themselves, having given Democrats a weak majority at the last presidential election, Obama politically cannot have a bowel movement with out republican support. So any measure he takes to fix the problem must be filtered though a Republican blockade. That is why Obama-Care failed in combination with the insane conflation of socialism to communism..Funding unprofitable national requirements is the job of Government, $1 in child health promo saves $4.
@EmmittBrownBTTF1 That is the stupidest thing I ever heard.. What's your excuse for the Kennedy years? My point is, these criminals will do what they must to continue their agenda.. Besides, it's already been proven that the votes are rigged.. The only way to do this is by showing up in person so the votes can't be fixed.. If you have 10,000 people all screaming Ron Paul together in harmony, it will be impossible for them to fix the votes!
@kidjr27 I'm sorry you haven't explained your position very well, can you elaborate on your criticism of the Kennedy Years? Gerrymandering, Florida 2000 & 2004, polling booth manipulation, well yes, these I'm lead to understand, were pro-Republican. 10,000 in a population of over 300,000,000, really? The result is determined by voters, & many don't vote because to them its futile. Booth manipulation meant some didn't get the option in 2004.
@EmmittBrownBTTF1 I mean 10,000 in DC.. I understand completely about comparing to the total population and I wasn't going there with that.. All I am saying is that it was confessed that the votes CAN BE fixed..
@kaziabir1 Don't make a messiah out of Ron Paul. He has some bright ideas(for a republican) but I don't want to see an anti-utopic future out of science-fiction where corporations rule. America has enough problems with ruthless lobbying, copyright and patent circus.
@Glad1kun Corporations rule? He's against the establishment, "some bright ideas"??!! Sir his some bright ideas are the only hope of light we have in this dark political realm. His foreign policies are the best and what people wants and although I don't agree with all his domestic policies, they are far better than what others have to offer. Obama is done, he betrayed the people who put him in office. It's time for a "REAL CHANGE" restore america.
@sissyfist the worst part is, poor people are the ones that vote for republicans, you can see people who use medicare in rallies against obama´s healthcare reform.
@sissyfist "I want a government that is smaller and less bureaucratic. We have given you the smallest government, not the other party that always cursed the federal government. The Democrats have given you the smallest national government in 30 years and the biggest reduction in regulations." - President Bill Clinton (Democrat), in 1996.

@Handiman544 Do you know what he means by rich people? He doesn't mean upper middle-class, he means Haliburton, Enron, Goldman-Sachs, JP Morgan and all the big business interests whose CEOs don't pay taxes at all.

Economics is soooo hard isn't it Bill? Because then you'd have to acknowledge that the rich pay the vast majority of taxes. You'd also have to acknowledge that raising the tax rates on the rich only incentives them to find more loopholes, which is by far the biggest revenue problem. You'd also have to acknowledge that we don't have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem. Ooops.

@rockon6191 Are you aware that you just managed to contradict yourself in 2 following sentences?
ffiinnrroodd 2 months ago
@ffiinnrroodd It was to demonstrate the contradictions within the various problems and their supposed solutions that others are constantly citing. My bad if that wasn't clear.
rockon6191 2 months ago
@rockon6191 The whole point is not to tax rich into oblivion or cut all spending(even useful) but to find a middle-ground.
And all this bickering just makes it harder.

@Glad1kun I agree that there's a middle ground, I just think we're already past it. I don't buy that the best way to help the middle class become wealthier is through the government.

Why can't the Democratic politicians, including Obama, lay out their case as effectively as Bill Maher? That's the problem with the Dems--too eager to compromise when they need to kick ass. Obama needs to hire Maher's writers.

The battle over taxes is over for now, somehow the rich won this and will continue to have record low taxes while creating no new jobs. They will probably hope for a rep president so deregulation and low tax rates continue. This will destroy the middle class and create generations of poor people.

Obama's come so far on Republican ideas. Yet, they call him a socialist no matter what..wackjobs.

@sissyfist Voters can only blame themselves, having given Democrats a weak majority at the last presidential election, Obama politically cannot have a bowel movement with out republican support. So any measure he takes to fix the problem must be filtered though a Republican blockade. That is why Obama-Care failed in combination with the insane conflation of socialism to communism..Funding unprofitable national requirements is the job of Government, $1 in child health promo saves $4.

@EmmittBrownBTTF1 That is the stupidest thing I ever heard.. What's your excuse for the Kennedy years? My point is, these criminals will do what they must to continue their agenda.. Besides, it's already been proven that the votes are rigged.. The only way to do this is by showing up in person so the votes can't be fixed.. If you have 10,000 people all screaming Ron Paul together in harmony, it will be impossible for them to fix the votes!

@kidjr27 I'm sorry you haven't explained your position very well, can you elaborate on your criticism of the Kennedy Years? Gerrymandering, Florida 2000 & 2004, polling booth manipulation, well yes, these I'm lead to understand, were pro-Republican. 10,000 in a population of over 300,000,000, really? The result is determined by voters, & many don't vote because to them its futile. Booth manipulation meant some didn't get the option in 2004.
EmmittBrownBTTF1 2 months ago
@EmmittBrownBTTF1 I mean 10,000 in DC.. I understand completely about comparing to the total population and I wasn't going there with that.. All I am saying is that it was confessed that the votes CAN BE fixed..

@kaziabir1 Don't make a messiah out of Ron Paul. He has some bright ideas(for a republican) but I don't want to see an anti-utopic future out of science-fiction where corporations rule. America has enough problems with ruthless lobbying, copyright and patent circus.

@Glad1kun Corporations rule? He's against the establishment, "some bright ideas"??!! Sir his some bright ideas are the only hope of light we have in this dark political realm. His foreign policies are the best and what people wants and although I don't agree with all his domestic policies, they are far better than what others have to offer. Obama is done, he betrayed the people who put him in office. It's time for a "REAL CHANGE" restore america.

@sissyfist "I want a government that is smaller and less bureaucratic. We have given you the smallest government, not the other party that always cursed the federal government. The Democrats have given you the smallest national government in 30 years and the biggest reduction in regulations." - President Bill Clinton (Democrat), in 1996.

Good point, but as the republicans point out, NOT wanting to destroy the middle class is both class warfare AND socialism.
