Really, Bill? How many millions do you make a year? So you can't live on 50% of it?
I like Bill Maher, he's got a lot of good things to say and he's funny. When he says something stupid, I send him a note. People with piles of money just don't get it. They work hard, for sure, and give a lot away, but if they think the working poor aren't working hard too, well, they just don't live where I do.
