The contemptible socialist agenda brought us social security, medicare, medicaid, and the post office. There are some other examples. These programs haven't failed and they actually made and had plenty of money. Politicians as a whole decided since the programs had surpluses they would spend it on something else.
Do you even remember anything or are you young? I seem to recall a republican named George HW Bush. His campaign slogan and speech of "No new taxes" is what got him elected. I don't know about you but I can tell you republicans and democrats (middle lower class) weren't happy.
Honestly people need to quit with the slogans and back any idea that we actually get in a bill. I will give you that Maher tries to portray himself as just being honest or intelligent but he does have some valid points with certain things. The constant back and forth between both party followers is getting old and the regular people are stuck in the middle of two fourth graders.
