Bill Maher actually said, and he was serious, that he doesn\u2019t know if he can stay in California with the high taxes.  He may have reached his tipping point.  He actually said on his show (paraphrasing), &#8220;Liberals, you may lose me.&#8221;  He said, &#8220;Look, I\u2019m a liberal and I\u2019m all for paying my fair share, but this is ridiculous.&#8221;  I\u2019m paraphrasing.  And then he said something that I was pleasantly amused by.  He said he just learned &#8212; now, you and I, you\u2019ve known this for 20 years.  This is instructive.  He just learned that the top 1% are paying 40% of the taxes.  And when he learned that, he was beside himself.  He just learned it.  He told everybody, &#8220;I just saw it today, I just saw the statistic.&#8221;  Here it is.  Sound bite 22.  I think we could squeeze it in.  Let\u2019s give it a shot.  This is what he said.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L-nX5YsKHBQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>MAHER:  Rich people, I\u2019m sure you\u2019d agree with this, actually do pay the freight in this country.  I just saw these statistics.  I mean something like 70%. And here in California, I just want to say, liberals, you could actually lose me.  It\u2019s outrageous what we\u2019re paying.  Over 50%. I\u2019m willing to pay my share, but, yeah, it\u2019s ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  So he said he just saw it. He just saw it. The top 5% paying 70%, he just saw that.  It\u2019s amazing. It\u2019s amazing the things liberals do not know.  It\u2019s amazing the things that they do know that are not right.  Double whammy.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_74241\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushMaher031913.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday night, Real Time with Bill Maher, it actually happened.
