dayman Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 It was the "ride any political whim" comment. Stuff like that isn't just old from the left. It's predictable. uh...he will ride any political whim...as will a number of other politicians but yes...in fact..that is very true of Rubio in fact to the extent anyone perceives his "camp" as separate from Jeb's...that is evidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Lol........oh, the Irony Bill Maher on California Income Taxes: 'Liberals - You Could Actually Lose Me' Bill Maher made a comment Friday that his benefactor and hero Barack Obama should sit up and take notice of. Speaking about the taxes the rich pay particularly in California, the host of HBO's Real Time said, "Liberals - you could actually lose me" The panel discussion began with a conversation about the various budget proposals currently on the table in Washington. MSNBC's Rachel Maddow predictably slammed Congressman Paul Ryan's (R-Wisc.) plan. "The Ryan budget is a document that says the big problems in America right now are that rich people do not have enough money," she mocked. "They need relief from confiscatory tax rates." "Well," Maher unsuccessfully tried to interrupt as Maddow continued. When she was finally done, he surprisingly pushed back. 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." "I just saw these statistics," he continued, "I mean, something like 70 percent. And here in California, I just want to say liberals - you could actually lose me. It's outrageous what we're paying - over 50 percent. I'm willing to pay my share, but yeah, it's ridiculous." So it appears there is a point where Maher's money becomes more important than his politics. Consider that in California, millionaires on top of the 39.6 percent they'll pay to the federal government in 2013, there's an additional 14.63 percent that now goes to the state. Add in payroll taxes, local taxes, and property taxes, and I've seen estimates that the total tax bite could exceed 60 percent here. But the rich aren't paying their "fair share." Regardless, it sure was nice to see a liberal - especially one that contributed to Obama's reelection campaign! - complaining about his taxes. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2013/03/16/bill-maher-california-income-taxes-liberals-you-could-actually-lose-m#ixzz2Nimx59sT .

When it's a liberal, it's called "evolving." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's some funny **** It was the "ride any political whim" comment. Stuff like that isn't just old from the left. It's predictable. You don't understand LA, you see when SOB uses the word "child" when describing Rubio, he feels as if he got a good zinger off. Like "yeah! Child!

Delete This Account Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Whether you agree with his ideas or not, here is a courageous, serious man who actually puts out a specific, budget plan. well, that's not right. if you agree with his ideas, then yes, you would regard him to be courageous. if you disagree with him, you wouldn't. paul ryan is a divisive figure, which means there are going to be some people who agree with him, and then there will be some who don't. as for whether he's serious, well, i hope he is. otherwise, there are those who would accuse his budget plan as being political farce. jw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Then you clearly don't understand the political realities yourself. Clearly. I'm continually amazed at how few people understand our current reality. Doing the same stupid **** over and over isn't progressive. Progressive?

Otherwise how do you explain your bolded statement.

Wawrow never posts unless it's ~3:30 am, and he just left the bar. And, stop laying the blame for Wawrow's silliness on alcohol.
