Bill Maher slams GOP for support of welfare for the rich as they attack welfare for the poor (VIDEO)


Bill Maher tackled the inheritance tax and its implications in a rather demonstrative fashion. One can honestly have a liberal, conservative, or some other ideology and be intellectually honest. Because one does not want to live within the tenets of a specific ideology does not make that particular ideology wrong. What is wrong is the disproportionate application of the tenets based on the socio-economic power of the governed.

“Someone has to explain to me why Republicans believe that not working and getting free money, like the takers, is the worst most corrupting thing that could ever happen to a person except if you are rich,” Bill Maher said. “The very first thing our new Republican Congress tried to do is get rid of any tax on inherited wealth which they called the death tax.”

Not to grow crops. The SNAP program feeds the children the GOP wants born even if it is forced births. Farm subsidies does not help little farmers, some are corporations. It is an entitlement.
