Whoopi Goldberg Rails Against Her Taxes
NewsBusters ^ | April 15, 2008 | Justin McCarthy

Posted on 03/06/2009 4:54:38 PM PST by DirtyHarryY2K

To mark Tax Day, Whoopi Goldberg, a strong critic of high taxes, railed against how much the government takes from her paycheck. On the April 15 edition of "The View," Whoopi displayed some of her bills with the many government fees attached to it. She also felt she was being punished for her success even calling it "un-American" and wondering why she never gets a "break."

Co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck asked Whoopi, who admitted to voting for Hillary Clinton, if she would vote for someone who by their own admission, would raise taxes on the wealthy. Whoopi did not directly answer the question only stating "we’re getting screwed either way."

Joy Behar jumped in to hype Denmark’s socialist system. She noted Denmark’s high taxes but seemed to forget she did when she noted healthcare and education are "free." Behar then went off on a tangent when Elisabeth Hasselbeck said "so everybody move to Denmark and see if you like it." Behar screamed "don’t give me that argument. I heard that in the 60's and the 70's if you don’t like it here get your ass out. I don’t appreciate that."

The entire transcript is below.

Is this satire? She is for real complaining about the man she had hopegasms over and said specifically he was for “spreading the wealth”...

People really did just hear what they wanted didn’t they?

Off topic, I’m having a hard time with my father. Sad when politics can have such an adverse effect on a relationship. I’m going to have to not even let myself get drawn into a conversation with him on it. He only watches Olbermann, Daily show and Mathews.

I read years ago, that Whoopi had been on welfare for years before she made it big, I believe in Ghost. I love Whoopi, I find her gracious, but she does come from a certain mindset.

Prayers for your father. Like so many others...he probably really doesn’t understand what is going on. Too bad.

Libs can’t deny reality when it slaps you in the face over and over... eventually the human spirit refuses to be a slave to another.

Sorry, Whoopi. If you make over 250K you’re The Man. Pay up.

Whoopi voted for socialism for the same reason every liberal did... because she’s a know-nothing retard.

On the April 15 edition of "The View,"

What? Is this a pre-recorded tax day show?
