To be honest I used to like this guy
But now that a Dem is in power he surely has changed



See, to repackage what someone is saying and then not only attacking YOUR repackage as if it was that someone''s but ridiculing it is quite the weapon is it not?
Especially when there are thousands of sheep that believe money grows on trees

There are so many companies going overseas and small businesses that can't survive anymore because of costly and inefficient regulations and the FED which causes inflation.

There should be less Govt. involvement in the economy, we have to encourage entrepreneurship
This isn't about massive corporations, it's about small businesses

Regulations are in fact about massive corporations, because through lobbying large corporation executive get to hold regulatory positions, something that Obama is famous for supporting.

People are so lost and are falling for this poor excuse for an opinion
Not using logic in debates is the new war on the people!

DO NOT SUPPORT IT!

So cheap labor, real estate, infrastructure and less regulations(safety, not financial) have no part either?

There should be less Govt. involvement in the economy,

Agreed, but how much is less and who determines it? Cronyism always seems to spawn in this arena, and with gov regulation, at least the public has access to the mechanisms and procedures, vs private's ability to hide, destroy, or cook the books.

Regulations are in fact about massive corporations, because through lobbying large corporation executive get to hold regulatory positions, something that Obama is famous for supporting.

Can I add that ALL politicians/parties do this because it is in THEIR best interests. Yes Obama has done it too, but let's look past him as an individual and address the bigger picture of Wall ST and Corporations now own a significant portion of congress's interests, period, regardless of side o the isle!

Logic can never be entertained or analyzed in soundbite segments from the media. There are no shows that can fully encompass a discussion or weigh out of all facts involved, plus they have their own interests. So the logic is up to us to find, but the problem is MOST folks get their info exclusively from these shows, including msm and fox, where not enough info can be included, leaving shallow talking points and blame assessments to swallow.

Maher is provocative and prolly hypocritical at times, but he is still one of the only figures willing(able in the guise of comedy) to call it as he sees it, right or wrong, he can criticize as he wishes, just like right wing radio does.
I am glad he's around for perspective and balance sometimes.
