how news of Bill Mahar's epiphany on taxing the rich (with Ray Maddow right beside him in speechless shock) has disappeared as a topic of discussion here? What's up with that....story yesterday, one or two posts, one or two half-assed, half-hearted responses and now it's down to page 3 or 4?

This issue has been Lefty's lifeblood topic here for at least 4 years maybe more. Maybe back to the advent of Marxist political indoctrination and worship? And now all I hear is silence. Nada zip....Mahar's views are hush hush and heresy. That is until he flees...then, when California puts some some surplus feedbags on eBay and Pelosi or Feinstien issue a Fatwah, it will a become Bush's fault.

I'm guessing that living in a bubble is not that much different than in-the-womb when it comes to protection from reality... and just ignoring stuff makes it go away? Even if it means ignoring what a minor (and now former I suppose) god like Mahar has to say?

Could it be technology has replaced Sigmond Freud ..hit the SPACE, TAB, RETURN buttons, click anything, close the offending WINDOW, and suddenly your anxieties and your doubts about the Agenda you've invested your very soul in will disappear?

That has to be it...
 
Which one....Mahar or Frued? I was going to look it up but decided what the hell, give e'm something to hang their ignorance on.

I could never figure out Mahar or who and what he represents, but himself. His flip flop on taxes is no different than those who constantly call for cuts, cuts, cuts then whine when their pet programs or their own job is cut. That seems to be the base problem we have is breaking everything down to "either/or" and opposing things only because it originated from the opposition, not because it lacks merit. There seems to be no middle ground, logic or compromise.

Personally, I don't know anyone who is fond of paying taxes and the reason wealthy people pay the bulk of the taxes is because they make the bulk of the money. There's no law that says anyone who makes $1,000,000 has to adopt a lavish lifestyle, especially conservatives (and conservatives that whine about government debt they supported) since it does not "fit" with the definition of conservatism, nor does it put their money where their mouths are regarding a need to pay down the government debt. Warren Buffet lives a very modest lifestyle relative to his wealth, he, along with a number of other wealthy people are intelligent enough to know that even if they paid a 90% tax rate, they would still live better than 90% of the people in the U.S. and to act as if they are "poor" "victims" and will "suffer" so, is to be pathetic, greedy and ungrateful for their good fortune.
 
boca -

my stock in trade (in PJ posts) is a identification of political hypocrisy, with a dash of the 7 deadly sins thrown in. I take no sides for or against either political party, but as you have evidently noted the left continually presents a target rich environment, as they are unable to resist the impulse to utter non-stop moralistic pronouncements which are difficult to live up to. human nature is has eons of evolution to resist theft (confiscatory tax rates); censorship; dietary/behavioral controls; and even "turning the other cheek" when attacked. those who don't push back against the abuses of others - especially tyrants - tend to be removed from the gene pool - so of course we have evolved to resent the thing which seem like paradise to those who live in a bubble.

Those on the left side of the dial on any of the boards/blogs I've used applaud when I castigate republicans for wall street bailouts; adventurseome foreign military actions; excess spending; etc. But they fly into a frenzy of vituperation when the hypocricies of the democrats are identified.

partisanship seems to unhinge the mind.
 
The money quote:


"Here in California, I just want to say liberals, you could actually lose me. It's outrageous what we are paying, over 50 percent."

-Bill Maher




Mr. Maher was very liberal until they started taking away his money to fund liberalism. Now, suddenly, he's thinking it over. He tells them "You could lose me".......like they care.
 
he must be talking about this

“I’ve done some math that indicates that, considering the hole this country is in, if you are earning more than a million dollars a year and are complaining about a 3.6% tax increase, then you are by definition a greedy a–hole.”

and the idea that Maher's some kinda dem/lefty leader we should all agree with all the time, well, is as stupid as the rest of the stuff he peddles. He's a bit of a hypocrite on this matter
