The thing is, BillO’s come towards the center a bit. He used to be almost as crazy – just look at some of the stuff he said in the 90′s. He’s still got his own show on Fox, so I can only hope his leftward drift goes unchecked through election day.

The class warfare in this country has been waged on the poor since Reagan, and the rich have won every battle.If you were trying to live on Social Security or Disability, you’d know that there isn’t 10% fat in *those* budgets. Electric rates, food and other basics are up,incomes flat. People are barely getting by – choosing between necessities, between food and electricity. Even with Medicare, many can’t afford doctors. These are not bums, they are hard-working Americans now too old or ill to continue in the labor force. Not that there are jobs for them out there in any case…

Moreover the tax cut to the rich was sold to us as a temporary stimulus measure,with an expiration date. Only the dishonesty of the bate-and-switch Republicans in Congress turned it into a tax-hike.

So many members of Congress are slavishly in the pocket of the rich and powerful; they are routinely selling out their constituents. O’Reilly is just helping them do it.

another misleading fact from Mr. O’Reilly was concerning the people who don’t pay taxes. That fact was only true for 2009 when Obama dropped everyone’s taxes and people got tax credits. Especially those who are hardly making anything. That is not necessarily true today.

We would not have to raise taxes if we had a system by which there was no way to get out of paying your set percentage of taxes. Everyone pays a sales tax wherever they are, but there’s an awful lot of people not paying the percentage they should be paying. Kill all the deductions and fill all your taxes on one single postcard I made this much, whether it’s 1 million 10 million or 49,000, and here’s how much I owe. If you make it all on stocks investments than those investments need to be taxed. There shouldn’t be any way that you can get around not paying your set percentage. I don’t feel sorry for the millionaires today when the millionaires of 30 years ago were paying a far far higher rate. And they were profitable

I enjoy these go-betweens with Stewart and O’Reilly.

Its funny how Bill O’Reilly has become one of the most moderate of the right ever since the right went extreme radical. At least Bill O’Reilly has some intelligence so that some civil conversation is possible and of course humorous. Imagine if it was Palin or some other nutcase, a conversation like this would have to be a miracle.
