We are at war. A terrible recession. Huge deficit. Millions in jail. No GOOD jobs for regular people in the private sector. But no matter the issue, it can be fixed by helping rich people. Helping rich people get richer. Why? So they can open another factory in Taiwan or Korea??

Time to tax billionares? really? Don't you think they pay millions of dollars each year in taxes? how much do you pay? Don't you think that billionares like bill gates and steve Jobs for instance, have contributed greatly to our society and civilization even without paying the first dollar of taxes? I ask what have you contributed to society? how much do you pay in taxes? THINK !!!
Bill - you are SO wrong about Michele Bachmann. She has never done a lick of work. Look at her record in both the Minnesota legislature and the House - her claim to fame is the Freedom from Lightbulbs bill. Give me a break.
Bill Maher can be funny but he's a fucking idiot. Republicanism is no more a religion than Progressivism. Talk about baseless claims! Glad his distaste for the Republicans doesn't include Ronny though.
@minarchbopper Oh, my. I don't care if you are conservative, you just really need to stop listening to FOX NEWS,Rush, and the like. The actual statistic is: "[T]he share of the tax burden borne by the top 1 percent now exceeds the share paid by the bottom 95 percent of taxpayers combined." So, in reality, the top 1% pays just over 40% of taxes while the lowest 95% pay just under 40% of taxes. While those earning at the 96-99 percentile pay the remainder. check the Tax Foundation web page.
@wintereis57 its about wealth inequality. A squeezing of the middle class. We have an hourglass economy. Without a strong base to drive demand for markets job creation will halt. Everyone wants to contribute but they cannot with the state of wealth distribution. You talk about taxes like they are doing all of this work because they pay taxes. They pay all of the taxes because they have all of the money. We have the worlds largest economy. There is no need for the wealth to be so concentrated.
@josh1492 I don't disagree with you. That doesn't figure in capitol gains and payroll tax, which puts a heavier burden on middle and low income individuals. Also, that statistic doesn't account for loopholes. "You talk about taxes like they are doing all of this work because the pay taxes". I;m not sure what that sentence means. Actually, I was correcting a post in which someone stated that the top 2% pay 95% of the taxes, which is untrue.

@michealati2 - You obviously misunderstood what Ron Paul said about heroin and other such drugs. He pointed out correctly that it is a state issue, not a federal one and that it's silly and unconstitutional to prosecute a federal "War on Drugs". If an amendment had to be passed to make alcohol illegal, what makes you think other drugs are any different? How do you think this country survived before the "War on Drugs" when Bayer sold heroin next to the aspirin? States can make their own laws.
@michealati2 That's all I was pointing out was that. I'm a college grad and cuss like a sailor. Didn't help being raised by my usmc dad and the 6 years I served myself.
While the online poll conducted by CNN shows Ron Paul as the clear winner with 75% of the votes, CNN reporters pull a fast one by citing a lesser known poll hosted at National Journal claiming Ron Paul came in at 0%.
@michealati2 Yes run away now, typical when any Obama supporter tries to advertise the "RP wants to legalize heroine arguement" We both know that that is not true whatsoever. Thats just your little twist to what RP actually says. You have no point. You are stupid like other Obama supporters. You spread your little half truths and when you are called out on your lies. You run away like the cowards you are.
@michealati2 blah blah blah. lets not play the profanity card here as if you are somehow educated because you dont use words like fuck shit cock or any other "spicy language". How bout if you stay on point of my response to your post instead of conveniently changing the subject. Oh maybe you have no rebuttal, to my post other than my profanity is offensive. As if I care what a comatose moron thinks.
@michealati2 Yes and according to your logic in every state it is legalized people are gonna run to the dealers. Your fucking ridiculous making that statement. I could care less about the other corporate owned jokers. They are just bought white versions of the current administration. I would not put too much weight in any polls advertised results you can go to CNNs own site and see where RP won that debate with a 70% lead over the others. Obama is a one term president RP will dethrone him
@darkchocosinger FNC presents the conservative view point in America, shared by 40% of US citizens, another 40% of Americans are self-described moderates, while just 20% are leftists... yet the entire media keeps pumping out the leftist agenda, leftist propaganda and leftist spin, not to mention the entertainment industry, the press, the socialist schools & marxist universities... so yes, thank God for FNC to bring back some semblance of balance in an otherwise lopsided leftist media landscape.
@USA4July1776 That has got to be one of the dumbest fucking things that I have ever read. FOX news balanced? they aren't even allowed to operate in Canada because of all their lies. I don't know where you got your statistics but poll after poll show that the majority of people in our country are Democrats.
@USA4July1776 This has got to be the dumbest most ill informed bunch of nonsense that I have ever read. Fox is not balanced. the reason all the media outlets are progressive is because a majority of our countries population is progressive contrary to your BS stats. The GOP is trying to sell our country to the highest bidder and you are playing right into their bullshit. If they got what they wanted this country would be a 3rd world country ran by corporations.
No one wants the others they flip flop too much and their words don't match their voting records! Looks like the left wing wants them, that's why they get talked about so much on these bias news stations.
@splicedenergy - I have no superficial anything. I told you what a progressive is and contrasted it with a libertarian - did you not read? A progressive is someone who believes in government solutions and regulations to control what he sees as the inherently corrupt and dangerous nature of man. That is not from some "conservatard" anything, that is what progressives from Theodore Roosevelt to Woodrow Wilson to FDR to Hillary Clinton have proudly stood for and acted upon, to our detriment.
@splicedenergy - There has been no part of the PATRIOT Act that has been repealed. And show me the proof it "worked". Even if it had made us a bit "safer," which it didn't, it was not worth the cost of our liberties and that's coming from someone who spent most of his life within 15 miles of the World Trade Center. "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin
@BklynZoo It's a shame that you don't have much common sense. The founding fathers did not live in a period where nuclear weapons, planes, jets, telephones, internet and what have you. It wasn't even conceivable. To use them as a model in this matter is not even an iota workable now. There weren't nearly 7 billion people on Earth for Christ sakes. Think damnit
@splicedenergy - As for the USA PATRIOT Act, it is a vile, unconstitutional piece of legislation that only serves to oppress Americans and encroach upon our liberties. There is no tangible proof that it has "worked" at making this country more secure, and plenty of proof that it has made us less free. What part of unconstitutional don't you understand? It's a power grab. Any time you see an awful piece of legislation like this with a benevolent sounding name you can be sure it's doublespeak.
@BklynZoo Look we all hate it, but the fact is that it fucking worked. Look at the successes, most of it was repealed but a few things, if you bothered to notice that you wouldn't be bitching so damn much. That is because those few things they did keep out of it is those that were effective.
@splicedenergy - Banks being bailed out is a result of our progressive government, not libertarianism. Libertarians don't believe in government intervention or "too big to fail". Ever since the progressive FDR, it's been standard practice to have a "safety net" not only for those individuals who may be in need but for the large corporate entities who tend to donate the most to political causes. Technology sent all those jobs to Mexico and China? I think not.
@BklynZoo YOu have a superficial thinking brain. I asked you wtf you thought progressive means but I've got no answer back. What you are doing is sitting there repeating everything from conservatard sources and I've heard all that shit before it doesnt make a difference if its repeated constantly when there is nothing but opinion
@splicedenergy - Progressive libertarian is a contradiction in terms. Progressives beieve in government solutions and regulations to control what they see as the inherently corrupt and dangerous nature of man. Libertarians beieve government is the problem which stands in the way of liberty and free trade and see each person as an individual and the profit motive as the source of all progress and human development. They are very different and opposing ideologies, even if some goals coincide.
@splicedenergy - Nonsense. We have added more regulations in the last ten years than I can count. Taxes are higher for the poor and middle class due to the cost of debasing the money supply fostered by the moneychangers at the private Federal Reserve. The manufacturing sector of the economy is gone. This is due to over-regulation and over-taxation. Our capital gains tax is higher than those of socialist European nations. Obama has fostered economic uncertainty on an unprecedented level.
@splicedenergy - When did I say progressives were necessarily a political party or exclusively Democrats? The progressive movement took over the Republican mainstream years ago. This is why there is not a dime's worth of difference between the two parties and why the USA PATRIOT Act was extended unchanged yet again despite the wishes of the people. Obama the progressive is merely G.W. Bush term III. I parrot no talking points.
@BklynZoo Because you seem to be unable to reconcile Maher's being a progressive libertarian. You must have a unique concept of what progressive means. You say a ton of assertions and yet know nothing other than what you've been fed. To say we had so many regs put on and yet still those fucking banks were bailouts is what is absurd. Government didn't leave people without jobs technology did. Outsourcing was the attempt to shore it up. As for the patriot act, I hate it but it works
@ppitstop38 - See my comment about progressives wanting to "tax the rich". That never works. Ron Paul would cut taxes and bureaucratic red tape for everyone. That means more cash in the pockets of the middle class to get them through. It gives "the rich," who should be called, "the job producers," more capital and incentive to invest in businesses, new projects and creating/saving jobs without the heavy hand of government guiding them toward the unwise or unprofitable. Think about it.
Of course, because we do that in America. What do you think we did before the Government was this big? Oh I don't know we just had a booming economy, amazing inventions, and good foreign relations with the ENTIRE world, even the middle east.
Dr. Paul warned of retaliation with the groups we were training with and occupying the land in the middle east. He was right Al-Qaeda was born out of the CIA who trained the mujaheddin, and that is a mainstream history fact.
Ron Paul is the ony candidate who not only understands the crisis America is facing and its root causes but has a real plan to ease the even deeper economic pain we are certain to experience very soon. Dr. Paul takes his oath of office, to protect and defend the Constitution very seriously and this is the origin of all of his political positions which he has never flipped or flopped on. Cut taxes and spending dramatically NOW or suffer unending stagflation and depression. Vote for Ron Paul.
@deegan45 - Leave misstating or misinterpreting Ron or Rand Paul's positions to Rachel Maddow. Even Chris "shiver up my leg" Matthews admitted that he found Rand Paul to be a deep thinker with a complex philosophical reasoning for questioning certain elements of the Civil Rights Act. When you look at such issues one-dimensionally, like a ten-second soundbite, it's easy not to understand.
Progressives always want to tax "the rich" but ask them this: Who creates the jobs in America, the poor? When you tax "the rich" what you're actually doing is taxing the productivity of America. See, "the rich" tend to earn their money in a productive manner, such as running a corporation or investing in businesses in some way. Do progressives think, they just go around beating old ladies with clubs and stealing their wallets? Higher taxes on "the rich" = less capital to create/save jobs.
So first Bill Maher claimed to be a libertarian, now he admits he's a progressive? Uh huh. Well, one of those statements is true. I think we all know which one. Progressivism is a failed ideology and has never worked from the time of Woodrow Wilson's, whose ideology brought us the Federal Reserve, Income Tax and our disastrous entry into World War I. Since then we have since mostly followed a foreign policy of progressive imperialism under the guise of "making the world safe for democracy."
@BklynZoo And just so you know progressive is not a bloody party!!! There are progressive republicans as well as democrats, you sure are stuck in the parroting talking points
Maher has it right to want to vote for an independent rather than the lesser of two evils. But Ron Paul? Paul might say a couple of right things, but for the most part he is as way far off in right field as the GOP. Paul would slit his own throat before he'd raise taxes on the rich or demand the type of regulation needed to protect the human population and the planet from profiteers.
@ppitstop38 would should we raise taxes on ANYBODY? How about we go back to the year 2000 spending levels...which is less than half of what it is right now, and get rid of the income tax altogether, while using the rest of our savings to fight the deficit?
@ppitstop38 Really? The United States Government is the "watchdog" you want to protect the human population and the planet from profiteers? The same entity that is ultimately responsible for the murder of hundreds of thousands of civilians, and most recently under the "Peace Prize" winner Obama, the murder of three of Qaddafi's grandchildren? The entity that is directly responsible for the destruction of ecosystems around the world... You wish for them to protect humanity and the planet? Come on
@ppitstop38 He a Libertarian, and wants to end the FED and the IRS (the thug army for the UnFederal Re$erve private bankster cartel). If you haven't seen it, youtube...America: Freedom to Fascism
The most retarded country I have ever seen. Dumb to put a black man in office that had no record because he spoke well. When this country goes down in smoke its the same dumb people who caused it. Dumb to see the value of buying goods made in America instead Americans save a buck or two buying things made in China then bitch and complain we don't have no jobs dumb, dumb, dumb.
This country is freakin retarded I see why the Europeans laughs at us, I see why we can't get this country moving forward, I see why we can't get out of our own problems because the people watch dumb reality shows, dumb sports, dumb commercials on cars, dumb american idol dancing with the stars to see reality. Dumb not to think on their own, dumb to let crooked cop leaders to think for them. The Patriot Act extends and the people of this country says o'well time to watch my favorite reality show
The elites are crooked cops, the media is blind to see that the majority of this country loves Ron Paul, the elites fight proxy wars in Lybia to steal the oil from the chinese behind everyones noses, Republicans and Democrats point figures at each other instead of taking accountability, we send more jobs overseas knowing that we need jobs to keep the economy running and Americans still continue to buy Chinese made items instead of USA items causing job loss. This country is freakin retarded.
@splicedenergy I no longer will use elitist anymore its too water down elitist to me are nothing more than freemasons who founded this country, run this government and the governments around the world. who dictates wars, who work for self interest bankers and corporations, who control the population to empower themselves to run the world, elitist convene in secret, elitist who funded Hitler during world war 2 into a warmachine the ones causing wars in Lybia to take Gaddafi oil from China.
@vycaso Seriously, GROW UP! Stop watching Alex Jones, get a proper education so that you can have a better understanding of the world in which you live so that you are not so gullible.
The reason they do this is every Law of the Law of Moses is outlawed one way or another on one level of Government or another and anyone that complains is called Insane, and we cannot get the Mainstream Media to cover even one issue accurately to get the Public to help us get our Religious Belief legalized, I knew all along this US Government does not stand for either real Jews or Israel or Christians, they are the tail of the Antichrist setting us up and murdering us. tinyurlDOTcom/6yzxl2e
@JosephLoegering YOu do not get it. The reason insane is branded is because they are insane. There is no such thing as the Antichrist. There have been thousands of gods. None a single one has ever been real. It's a shame that people lose all rational and logic over a figment of imaginations of bronze age illiterates with delusions of grandeur. There is no such thing as supernatural. It's not real.
All their Child Education Laws are deigned so that they can take our Children and keep brainwashing them to be against the Law of Moses and the Prophets, and brainwash them to use secular Law and Government to set us up and Jail and or murder us like good Fascist Americans, which is no different than what Nazi Germany did., and the Media and Government refuse to caver any of the issues accurately, & will not let us Speak in Mainstream Media, & will not redress our Just Grievances
@JosephLoegering Of course it's not taught!! Only knowledge is taught. You're just pissed that knowledge destroys religion. Which is something you do not have
What they do to me, they say I cannot have Medical treatment that I need unless I take Drugs that a Neurologist told a Judge, "those Drugs not only make him more Dysfunctional, they are killing him," but if I try to appease them by taking them, they still do not give me the Medical Treatment I need, & when I stop taking them to get them to Court, they lock me up & force them on me, and refuse to obey Court Order & address my Medical Concerns, & will not give me Proper Medical Treatment
Not one Phone call from the County who was ordered by the Court to get me Doctors to tend to my Medical Concerns, & get my Medical Records & get my Doctors on the same page all the way back in 2009-2010, while the Medical Community keeps setting me up & causing me Harm, no Gov or Media responds to calls or emails, because they deliberately escorted me here to be neglected & maltreated till dead so that they could deceive the Nations it was these Zionists plan from the beginning.
Ron Paul everybody loves Ron Paul I can see this, sense this and feel this. Everybody loves this man but the media puts Mitt Romney, Sara Palin, Michele Bachmann ahead of Ron Paul. Give Ron Paul a freakin shot to be President damn. Jesse Ventura likes Ron Paul, many of the comments I've seen loves Ron Paul.
@vycaso youtube comments is where I go for all my political commentary so certainly if lots of people said they like ron paul then I must like him as well. It's not like a group of people could be completely wrong or anything...
Regardless, ron paul's social and military policies are fine and dandy but when we get to fiscal policy it all goes to shit.
Since 1999, None of those GOP Politicians and None of the Democratic Politicians and none of the Mainstream Media will even think about deregulating to legalize the Law of Moses, because they want to use the Fascist system to keep setting us up and murdering us without Just Cause, none of them respond as their associates are making money off setting us up and murdering us at Tax Payer Expense, because all these Politicians are owned and run by Fascist Zionist Bankers, just like Nazi Germany
@763873 NO, Bill Maher was asked to pick one if he had to. He praised Ron Paul for being his own person & bringing the troops home. However, Bill has properly ripped Ron Paul in the past for some of his old insane ideas he pushes. So, don't get all excited over nothing. Folks like yourself DO NOT THINK what the result would be if Ron Paul's ideas were put into action. States would basically be 50 countries who could do as they want, treaties w/other countries, own currency, discrimination, etc.
If you had to vote. . .Ron Paul. That really shows what that field of candidates is made up of.
We are at war. A terrible recession. Huge deficit. Millions in jail. No GOOD jobs for regular people in the private sector. But no matter the issue, it can be fixed by helping rich people. Helping rich people get richer. Why? So they can open another factory in Taiwan or Korea??

I could care less about the other corporate owned jokers. They are just bought white versions of the current administration. I would not put too much weight in any polls advertised results you can go to CNNs own site and see where RP won that debate with a 70% lead over the others.

@darkchocosinger FNC presents the conservative view point in America, shared by 40% of US citizens, another 40% of Americans are self-described moderates, while just 20% are leftists... yet the entire media keeps pumping out the leftist agenda, leftist propaganda and leftist spin, not to mention the entertainment industry, the press, the socialist schools & marxist universities... so yes, thank God for FNC to bring back some semblance of balance in an otherwise lopsided leftist media landscape.

@splicedenergy - I have no superficial anything. I told you what a progressive is and contrasted it with a libertarian - did you not read? A progressive is someone who believes in government solutions and regulations to control what he sees as the inherently corrupt and dangerous nature of man. That is not from some "conservatard" anything, that is what progressives from Theodore Roosevelt to Woodrow Wilson to FDR to Hillary Clinton have proudly stood for and acted upon, to our detriment.

@splicedenergy - There has been no part of the PATRIOT Act that has been repealed. And show me the proof it "worked". Even if it had made us a bit "safer," which it didn't, it was not worth the cost of our liberties and that's coming from someone who spent most of his life within 15 miles of the World Trade Center. "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin

@BklynZoo It's a shame that you don't have much common sense. The founding fathers did not live in a period where nuclear weapons, planes, jets, telephones, internet and what have you. It wasn't even conceivable. To use them as a model in this matter is not even an iota workable now. There weren't nearly 7 billion people on Earth for Christ sakes. Think damnit

@splicedenergy - As for the USA PATRIOT Act, it is a vile, unconstitutional piece of legislation that only serves to oppress Americans and encroach upon our liberties. There is no tangible proof that it has "worked" at making this country more secure, and plenty of proof that it has made us less free. What part of unconstitutional don't you understand? It's a power grab. Any time you see an awful piece of legislation like this with a benevolent sounding name you can be sure it's doublespeak.

@BklynZoo Look we all hate it, but the fact is that it fucking worked. Look at the successes, most of it was repealed but a few things, if you bothered to notice that you wouldn't be bitching so damn much. That is because those few things they did keep out of it is those that were effective.

@splicedenergy - Banks being bailed out is a result of our progressive government, not libertarianism. Libertarians don't believe in government intervention or "too big to fail". Ever since the progressive FDR, it's been standard practice to have a "safety net" not only for those individuals who may be in need but for the large corporate entities who tend to donate the most to political causes. Technology sent all those jobs to Mexico and China? I think not.

@splicedenergy - Progressive libertarian is a contradiction in terms. Progressives beieve in government solutions and regulations to control what they see as the inherently corrupt and dangerous nature of man. Libertarians beieve government is the problem which stands in the way of liberty and free trade and see each person as an individual and the profit motive as the source of all progress and human development. They are very different and opposing ideologies, even if some goals coincide.

@splicedenergy - Nonsense. We have added more regulations in the last ten years than I can count. Taxes are higher for the poor and middle class due to the cost of debasing the money supply fostered by the moneychangers at the private Federal Reserve. The manufacturing sector of the economy is gone. This is due to over-regulation and over-taxation. Our capital gains tax is higher than those of socialist European nations. Obama has fostered economic uncertainty on an unprecedented level.

@splicedenergy - When did I say progressives were necessarily a political party or exclusively Democrats? The progressive movement took over the Republican mainstream years ago. This is why there is not a dime's worth of difference between the two parties and why the USA PATRIOT Act was extended unchanged yet again despite the wishes of the people. Obama the progressive is merely G.W. Bush term III. I parrot no talking points.

@BklynZoo Because you seem to be unable to reconcile Maher's being a progressive libertarian. You must have a unique concept of what progressive means. You say a ton of assertions and yet know nothing other than what you've been fed. To say we had so many regs put on and yet still those fucking banks were bailouts is what is absurd. Government didn't leave people without jobs technology did. Outsourcing was the attempt to shore it up. As for the patriot act, I hate it but it works

@ppitstop38 - See my comment about progressives wanting to "tax the rich". That never works. Ron Paul would cut taxes and bureaucratic red tape for everyone. That means more cash in the pockets of the middle class to get them through. It gives "the rich," who should be called, "the job producers," more capital and incentive to invest in businesses, new projects and creating/saving jobs without the heavy hand of government guiding them toward the unwise or unprofitable. Think about it.

Ron Paul is the ony candidate who not only understands the crisis America is facing and its root causes but has a real plan to ease the even deeper economic pain we are certain to experience very soon. Dr. Paul takes his oath of office, to protect and defend the Constitution very seriously and this is the origin of all of his political positions which he has never flipped or flopped on. Cut taxes and spending dramatically NOW or suffer unending stagflation and depression. Vote for Ron Paul.

@deegan45 - Leave misstating or misinterpreting Ron or Rand Paul's positions to Rachel Maddow. Even Chris "shiver up my leg" Matthews admitted that he found Rand Paul to be a deep thinker with a complex philosophical reasoning for questioning certain elements of the Civil Rights Act. When you look at such issues one-dimensionally, like a ten-second soundbite, it's easy not to understand.

Progressives always want to tax "the rich" but ask them this: Who creates the jobs in America, the poor? When you tax "the rich" what you're actually doing is taxing the productivity of America. See, "the rich" tend to earn their money in a productive manner, such as running a corporation or investing in businesses in some way. Do progressives think, they just go around beating old ladies with clubs and stealing their wallets? Higher taxes on "the rich" = less capital to create/save jobs.

So first Bill Maher claimed to be a libertarian, now he admits he's a progressive? Uh huh. Well, one of those statements is true. I think we all know which one. Progressivism is a failed ideology and has never worked from the time of Woodrow Wilson's, whose ideology brought us the Federal Reserve, Income Tax and our disastrous entry into World War I. Since then we have since mostly followed a foreign policy of progressive imperialism under the guise of "making the world safe for democracy."
