Quote of the Year Rehashed

For those who missed the quote of 2007 from the always entertaining Bill Maher:



"If America's richest 1% are now so rich that even a 5 star hotel isn't good enough, it's time to bring back the guillotine. Yes what's being dubbed America's first 6 star hotel has just opened in Miami beach. How ritzy is it? Lets put it this way, J Lo can stay there but her husband can't. At this hotel when they ask if you want help with your bag they are talking about your scrotum.

But this is America and we can afford it, along with a 2 trillion dollar war and tax cuts, but there is one thing we can't afford, and that is health care for sick children.

So the question I'm asking is how did it all get so uneven. Warren Buffet asks the same question, he's the third richest man in the world, and a decent man. He points out that how ridiculous it is that he, the third richest man in the world, is taxed at 17.5%, while his secretary who makes 60,000 a year is taxed at 30%.

...now I know socialized medicine sounds like Stalin himself is going to come over your house and perform a forced sterilization, but really all it is is universal health care, which means everyone not just the rich will get to see a physician when their erection last more than 72 hours."
