Bill Maher gets educated on U.S. Corporate profits by the gorgeous and brilliant African economist Dambisa Moyo

from The Last Tradition 

Bill Maher gets educated on U.S. Corporate profits by the gorgeous and brilliant African economist Dambisa Moyo: I’ve heard of Dambisa Mayo for quite some time and she’s a brilliant supply side economist that you never hear about because she doesn’t tow liberal BS.


NewsBusters reports HBO's Bill Maher on Friday received a much-needed education on U.S. corporate profits from - wait for it! - an African-born international economist (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):


After showing a video clip of Fox News’s Sean Hannity and former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain discussing whether or not Barack Obama is intentionally trying to destroy capitalism, Maher said, “This is where the Republican Party is. And, you know what? Corporate profits as a percentage of GDP are higher than ever. How can he be destroying capitalism? They’re eleven percent. This is the highest since World War II.”


Enter clearly the smartest person in the room.



“But there’s two ways to make profit, right?” interjected Dambisa Moyo. “The problem’s that there’s two ways to make profit. Profit equals revenue minus costs."



Talk slowly, Ms. Moyo. There's an idiot sitting next to you.



"You can either reduce costs or raise revenues," she continued. "And in this case, the reason why everybody is up in a tiz correctly is that companies have been cutting costs quite aggressively, amongst them labor costs, and amongst them higher unemployment. And that’s why I think there’s a schism between that kind of discourse between the Republicans.”


Moyo obviously didn’t realize she was speaking to a total nincompoop, for Maher then asked, “But you don’t think Obama is purposely trying to destroy capitalism?”



“No I don’t,” replied Moyo, “but I just think it’s a bit more nuanced than what you see.”



Yah think?







Rule one about Liberals. They always think they’re smarter than everybody else when in fact they usually know the least. Don’t be fooled by the way they carry themselves. Bill Maher is a perfect example of an arrogant no-thing Liberal.


Tell two friends about The Last Tradition. Don't keep it to yourself.
