Then you certainly must vehemently disagree with this administration's method of subsizing big business.

Exactly!! The left attempt deflection when they are backed in a corner and have nothing to say. Heaven forbid they actually admit when they are wrong.

Bill Maher complains that his taxes are too high | Conservative News, Views & Books

Actually, he's talking about his state tax. In reality, he's complaining about a state's rights issue, he's saying that the state has too much power to tax him, and that's actually right in line with nanny-statism because he thinks that taxes throughout the US should be uniform.

Then again, he's a hypocrite because he's previously said that he was willing to pay more in tax and the state tax has been the same since then, so his complaint is BS.

He was not referring to corporations or politics. He was complaining about the unfairly high taxes against the rich.
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.”

He finally saw these statistics? Does he read a paper? Evidently he gets his "news" from MSNBC. You'd think he was a low-information voter.

Ideaology trumps common sense! Maher couldnt see past his liberal hate! And now it's biting him in his tuckus!

His complaint is BS, because its not your pocket.

Hell, let's all just be welfare dependents. And lets keep advertising in Mexico for them to come to the U.S. and get on welfare.

God bless America, land of the free stuff!
