@pretorious700 Really? Thanks. But I'm not wrong about Republican leaders being immoral. Any party fox news defends has to be immoral. Fox news is the epitome of a bias spreading organization formed to defend the immoral behaviors of the ethically challenged. Only that's why republican leaders are so out of touch with working men and women, which basically is the middle class. In a democratic system, middle class should always be the main priority, not the top 2% of the rich.

lmaO! BULLIES! Loved the way Maher just gets straight to the point!

We have national healthcare here in Sweden but the past few years they've been privatising aspects of it...with disastrous results:

We have had more healthcare scandals in the past 4years than the previous 50years COMBINED...

My assessment: Privatization is hell.Never trust a corporation, its priority is money and this will never go hand in hand with morals and ethics.

Devastating education? Wasn't that process finished years ago?

And Bill 70 billion and we've never used it...not directly but the knowledge from it was used. THis happens so often in all types of companies - they will invest in a project and then abandon it. Why? Various reasons (e.g. advancements in other areas of technology makes the project obsolete because now you could do it in a different and much better way). IT actually shows me that the US will not use second class equipment if it can use and develop a better product for it's soldiers.

TBH I like Bill Mayer but I'm beginning to see what he is. He is a deathsworn democrat. We have national health service in Europe BUT it's ridiculously inefficient. It swallows a huge chunk of the budget and the budget comes from my pocket. Why shouldn't people be able to choose the type of healthcare they want (or can afford) as in the US? Rich individuals and corporation? Sure they pay less than people expect (because of gov. easing) but...What about churches? They pay 0%. 0% !!!

@captcorajus ROFL? I laugh at your ignorance. You seem to have no understanding of corporate finance. A company can move it's headquarters whereever it wants. It wont' stop if from making money in the US but it will stop it from paying corporate taxes in the US. That's even more so of wealthy individuals. Id1ot. Learn something before you open your mouth and expose us to your vast ignorance.

Government is the problem, both left and right. Bill Maher is a hack for the left.

[captcorajus]

@kotapaka You think they will leave if the taxes are higher??? ROFL. They are making more then ever, and corporations are stock piling cash. They are not creating jobs, or innovating... so what is the point of the tax breaks??

[darkfur35]

Maher is a hate filled little man.

Anyone with half a brain would see how incredibly ridiculous this right wing point of view is.

Is bizarre.
