(4,551 posts)2. What does Bill Maher being wealthy have to do with anything?
Bill is a liberal, progressive guy who calls out rich, elitist scum like Romney.
He's often better at going after the Republicans than anyone else.

(2,013 posts)5. Bill Maher is the first to admit that it is LITERALLY a fluke what makes you rich in this
country. He has used that exact words. He happens to have wit and make people laugh, and somehow that translates to dollars. That sort of sums up the entire entertainment industry, really; it is "fluky" as to what makes you rich. But the way Rmoney did it? That was no fluke. That was being a soulless vulture (well, he also happened to have been born on 3rd base too). I think there is a HUGE difference.
