Bill Maher asks how the government is āfailing the poor so badlyā when he pays ā60 PERCENTā of his earnings in taxes.
āLast week was tax day⦠I paid the government probably almost 60% of what I earn. Thatās a lot.ā
āAnd I⦠wouldnāt mind if Bernie Sanders would stop saying the rich donāt pay taxes.ā
āThe top 10% pay 72% of all federal income taxes. And the bottom half, 3%.ā
āThe Democratic Socialists talk about socialism like we donāt already have a lot: Social Security, unemployment, Medicare, nutritional assistance, Medicaid, Obamacare, disability, housing subsidies.ā
āHow can you be soaking the rich and failing the poor so badly? How can it be that the federal government alone took in over 5 trillion in taxes last year, and we still need that?ā
āAre we really this incompetent and corrupt?ā
