During the latest episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, Maher took out time to explain how socialism helped create a strong middle class in the United States.
The Huffington Post reports that Maher called out Republicans for showing fake support toward the middle class. Maher also acknowledged that socialism played a key part in building the middle class of the 1950s and 60s.
"The large, thriving middle class that America used to have didn't just appear out of the blue. It was created using an economic tool called socialism," said Maher.
Maher explained how after World War II the U.S. government heavily taxed the rich and redistributed the wealth through the G.I. Bill allowing Americans free access to college and job training among other benefits.
"We can debate whether that's a good thing or a bad thing to go back to, but what is beyond debate is that, that is what happened." Maher said.
Maher has not been one to shy away from controversy with this statement and recent comments about American Sniper.

Bill Maher says socialism built middle class

In Paul Krugmans Jan. 22 facts dont mattercommentary, on the emotional denial of environmental, health, and economic realities by the right, he says Republican rage is bound up with rejecting any role for government that serves the public interest. Fear and ignorance of socialism is indeed fueling the irrational hatred of self-government.
Socialism, secular government in the public interest, begins with the American Revolution, followed by the French and successive revolutions. One result: today, two of the worlds poorest nations, North Korea and Cuba, have universal education and health care, important components of governments that serve the public interest.
Contrast that with America where, shortly before assuming control of Congress, Republicans repealed the anti-bail-out Wall Street law and severely underfunded the Internal Revenue Service and Environmental Protection Agency, encouraging tax cheats and polluters to open businesses financed by New York bankers. The GOP will be more outraged than its base when the bill for this falls due, correctly blaming the federal government. Currently they are busy passing more anti-socialist legislation, and facts dont matter, particularly the constitutional one spelled out for Congress in a Supreme Court decision in 1819, formally establishing the public interest as the guiding principle in making federal laws.
A basic assumption of the Founding Fathers, including Alexander Hamilton, whose twisted interpretation led to the Whiskey Rebellion, was that popular support for secular government serving the public interest replaced loyalty to British rule almost overnight through the pamphlets of Thomas Paine. But by 1819, the spirit of 76 was so weak that the purpose of the revolutionary generations sacrifices needed to be codified in the Constitution, now mocked with every Republicans oath of office and assault on the public interest. Not only facts dont matter for them, history, cause and effect, common decency, international law and opinion, and human rights are all trumped by anti-socialism.
