Bill Maher asks how the government is โfailing the poor so badlyโ when he pays โ60 PERCENTโ of his earnings in taxes.
โLast week was tax dayโฆ I paid the government probably almost 60% of what I earn. Thatโs a lot.โ
โAnd Iโฆ wouldnโt mind if Bernie Sanders would stop saying the rich donโt pay taxes.โ
โThe top 10% pay 72% of all federal income taxes. And the bottom half, 3%.โ
โThe Democratic Socialists talk about socialism like we donโt already have a lot: Social Security, unemployment, Medicare, nutritional assistance, Medicaid, Obamacare, disability, housing subsidies.โ
โHow 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?โ
โAre we really this incompetent and corrupt?โ
