Bill Maher (Job Creator): New Rule: Americans must stop voting against their economic self-interest.
Edited on Sat Sep-24-11 10:08 AM by kpete
..................

Now, watching the Republican debates these last couple of months has made me realize so many truisms that I just couldn't see before because I wasn't giving enough respect to my money. They've made me see that I'm not really rich. I'm something far more noble. I'm a job creator.

.............

You see, you poor people, you don't get how much "uncertainty" gives us job creators the willies. It's terrifying, like when you find out your private island has natives. Or when your wife notices the maid's kid looks just like you. Or when the limo driver tries to start a conversation.

So tax me at a higher rate if you like. You're practically firing yourselves. Because I'll tell you something, I have been so shitting in my pants about this uncertainty, that yesterday I let go a dozen essential workers at my compound, including my TiVo programmer, my manscaper, the liposuctionist, my gardener's personal trainer, my dog whisperer, the look-alike I hired to foil assassination attempts, my private farmer, the lady who dispenses the hand sanitizer after our pre-show prayer circle, the girl I pay to mistake me for Jon Hamm, and the guy who takes care of the shark tank. Which reminds me, I'm going to also have to let go two sharks.

......................

But mostly I will miss Mr. Peckensniff, my marijuana valet of 28 years.
I'm sorry, my friend, but from now on I'm going to have to select and roll my own. I'm joking, of course. Mr. Peckensniff has a job just as long as I am able to draw breath, and hold it, and then blow it into my dog's face.
