I'm surprised Maher didn't add ending the "war on drugs" as a money saver and revenue earner. And tax the churches!

I'm sorry to say americans... but when you have people like Rick Perry (and unfortunately many others like him) in politics, you are all fucked.

I am still confused how a country can be one of the most powerful nations of the world, and still have such retardation in its political scenery.

The problem isn't that we have people like Rick Perry and others like him in politics, our problem is the dipshits that vote them into office.

I guess that's true, and common to all democratic processes.

Power doesn't require intelligence, only aggression.

You should probably save your energy (and money) for the next country to be bailed out of the EU's failed model. And if you're in Canada...my apologies..that you're in Canada.

Oh, i'm from Portugal, so I'm already prepared for the shit-fest this country is going to be in the next few years, to be able to comply with the IMF's demands.

Big upvote for the bit about Nancy Grace!

What's wrong with being in Canada?

I agree with some of Mahar's concepts here except that he only goes one way too far. You raise taxes? K. How about cut spending too. Maybe a war or two, and the war on drugs. How about aid to countries with aggressive issues? Israel for starters.

And unions have been both bad and good. It creates a middle class when it does what's right, and it obliterates jobs when it is not left in check. They are a business after all.

Everything in moderation...

Raise Taxes??? No way!!! Stop wasting all my money on corporate favoritism and overseas.

Kinda blew me away that was his answer with the numb-nuts spending going on.

Why not both? You think having the lowest taxes overall in 60 years means there is no room for an increase in some sectors? If not... is there EVER any room for a tax hike, ever? Do we have to have the lowest taxes in a billion years before raising rates is an imaginable option?

I wouldnt give them a penny more money without some evidence of responsible spending. Have you heard about how far in debt the USA is?
