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 "were getting screwed either way."
Joy Behar jumped in to hype Denmarks socialist system. She noted Denmarks 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 "dont give me that argument. I heard that in the 60's and the 70's if you dont like it here get your ass out. I dont appreciate that."

Welcome to Obamanomics, you silly cow. You wanted this jasper in spite of all the warnings.
And Change and Hope
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.
When is Oba Mao going to spread some of Whoopi’s wealth in my direction?
Your pop watches the Daily Show? No offense intended, but how old is he?
Same here with my husband’s siblings - we barely speak any more.
Now it’s hard to read the thread...
Rush played the soundbite this morning...
Prayers for your father. Like so many others...he probably really doesn’t understand what is going on. Too bad.
ROFOLO! But surely “rich” wasn’t them?!!!*scarsm* Oh this is sooo funny! Just who did they think the “rich” were?
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.
Very nice. But still there is NO WAY IN HELL that I will ever watch the Spew.
What? Is this a pre-recorded tax day show?
I know the feeling. All 3 of my siblings are Democrats.
