Dennis Miller Interview
Bill brought Dennis Miller on Thursday's program to discuss the current state of politics.
Miller said that despite the fact Republicans control the presidency and Congress, the Democrats are really running the country.
“I’ve never seen them in more control than this,” Miller said. “They dictate everything and they’re taking a huge chunk out of Trump.”
Miller then joked that since only about 50% of the country pays income taxes, those that do pay should sponsor individuals who do not.
“One-on-one sponsorship where you get to have breakfast with them once a month,” Miller said. “Naturally, you’d have to agree beforehand to pick up the tab on breakfast. If they’re a good person, like I said, your heart is warmed. If they’re gaming [the system], you should go back and say, the person you’ve given me to sponsor is not doing his part. And I think that might solve a lot of things.”
Miller joked it would almost be like having a welfare parole agent.
“I always think about the poor people who do legitimately deserve welfare and entitlements who are getting screwed out of a bigger portion of what they deserve because there are so many hacks who are gaming it,” Miller said.
Bill also agreed that some vulnerable people in difficult circumstances deserve government assistance, but far too many people were taking advantage of entitlement programs.
“But what we have in America now is an entitlement culture,” Bill said. “Adam Carolla and I discuss that yesterday where a lot of people feel, look, if I don’t have it, even though I didn’t really go to school, didn’t really work hard, never had a plan, and smoked pot all day long or drink gin, that's okay, because Miller and O’Reilly, they’ve got to give me some more money, because that’s the system, and that’s what I’m entitled to, that’s what’s fair.”
Miller added that he was fine with the current tax structure “as long as somebody starts spending it effectively.”
