Bill Maher's take on TV reality shows of the wealthy

Bill Maher nails it right on.



This is what surprises me about the average Republican Conservative voter who is not part of the top 1% or even the top 10%, but they act like they are and vote against their self best interest under some illusions that they will be part of the top 1% because they have faith in the Free Market Capitalists system that if they work real hard and come up with the best idea since the cell phone, they will be part of that private club.

The reality is that unless they win the mega lottery, the probability entering that private club is nearly so remote that they better resign themselves to a lower status and prepare for a difficult retirement.

Many state they are against entitlements and government spending, of which they are currently receiving government assistance with their income tax mortgage interest deduction, dependent allowance deduction, charitable giving deduction, energy improvement of their home deduction, health insurance and medical care payment deduction and so on. But they want the government to spend less and tax less, but don't touch my deductions or my Medicare and Social Security.
