“What is with this new trend of people who have all the power acting like they’re the oppressed ones?” Bill Maher ended his show Friday night by looking at the strange phenomenon of Christians, white people complaining about the treatment they are receiving from gays and African-Americans. But mostly, he was outraged by billionaires who are tired of being “demonized” by the 99%.

Love the 'minimum wage and MAXIMUM wage' line!

1. Loved the loud applause when the images of Bill Gates and Warren Buffet appeared.

It's nice to know that the two richest Americans don't have that scumbag attitude toward the oppressed American worker. I was clapping behind my monitor with the audience.

3. That quote by Buffet was classic too.

8. There are a lot of people who don't know

the damage those men have done.

Just remember behind every great fortune is a great crime. And Bill Gates and Warren Buffet prove it.

2. New laws for the 1%

Section 1
Marriages between 1% and 99% are forbidden.
1% will not be permitted to employ female citizens under the age of 45, as domestic workers.
1% are forbidden to display the national flag or the national colors.

Section 2
1% are required to wear green dollar symbols on clothing when in public at all times.
Extramarital sexual relations between 1% and 99% is forbidden.

A person who acts contrary to the prohibition of Section 1 will be punished with hard labor.
A person who acts contrary to the prohibition of Section 2 will be punished with imprisonment or with hard labor.
A person who acts contrary to the provisions of Sections 3 or 4 will be punished with imprisonment up to a year and with a fine, or with one of these penalties.

Yes, of course I'm not serious. Just to show how stupid Tom Perkins really is.

I wish Tom Perkins could live just 1 day like a 1930's jew had to live in Germany.

4. No need for maximum, just structure it more like it was during the Cold War...

We can play with the numbers, see what works best, but restore progressivity on high incomes.

5. "By the way, that's a coal miner -- not John Boehner."

[progressoid]

6. "Wouldn't it be great if there were Democrats like that out there now..."

Yeah, that would be great. There are a Democrats like that I suppose. But far to few to be noticed. And virtually none in leadership roles.

But god forbid we complain about it.

9. No elected official would dare talk like Maher just did.

They wouldn't be elected dog catcher. Can you imagine what Lindsay Graham or Bill O'Reilly would say to any Democrat who would bring the subject up?

[progressoid]

10. So we're letting Graham, O'Reilly et al set the tone.

Too many of us have become afraid to call ourselves liberals or actually are not liberals.

[Boomerproud]

11. I couldn't agree with you more.
