On the Bill Maher show on Friday night, Tim Robbins got a huge applause from a usually very Democratic audience. How stupid can these people be to cheer and applaud a man who gave us George W. Bush because his f____g ego so bigger than our need for honesty, fairness and decency. How can Democrats listen to this self-centered lying bastard? How can they follow what he says, after what he did? How can they trust him again?
I would love to start a movement to dump Robbins, Sarandon, Nader and Donohue out of the Democratic Party and make sure none of them are our TV representative of liberal or progressive views. They're not liberals as much as they are selfish pigs.
One more thing about Social Security..after the jump..
For the assholes on here who are too stupid to understand that immigration and unreported imcome are kiiling social security, my advice for you is to learn how to read.
I am not advocating stopping immigration. However, I am saying that no immigrants working here should be allowed to opt out of paying income and social security taxes, as the H-1B immigrants can do. These are generally people earning very good salaries and if they earn them here, they should pay for the services we have here.
As to the short-term low paid immigrants and everyone else getting paid most of their salaries off the books, therein lies the biggest crisis.
It is a crisis that is a burden on the middle and upper middle classes only. For the imbeciles calling me a racist, can you understand who pays for this cost? These morons, the kinds of people who cheer Tim Robbins or the totally blind people who think John Kerry should be the candidate in 08, don't even look at the facts or the hypotheses.
I don't advocate ending immigration or shooting people who get paid off the books. However, there is a cost here that the wealthiest people in America pay none of!!!! They actually benefit most from the cheap labor and they are making everyone else pay for it.
I don't care what the Democrats say, Social Security has problems. Every year the mortality tables go up...people live longer and that means more payouts. If social security went totally private, we'd have a lot more people dying in the streets of starvation than we have now. Then the cost of saving these people would have to come from the general fund. Bush knows that, and he and the Republicans have no plan whatsoever to end SS because if they did, it would cost their country club friends a lot more. They just want to blame the Democrats for it, just like the use the chartered schools debate.
It's time we address these issues because when the phony posturing by Bush ends, we still have a problem and we still have a system that is the burden of only the middle and upper middle classes.
As far as Bill Maher, I'm starting to get very sick of him. After hearing the Wead tapes of Bush, Maher likes that manipulative, lying, ruthless and hypocritical asshole more than ever.
