I Talked For A Long Time About That, What I Call The Hate Wing Of The Republican Party.and Often Been Criticized For Saying It.

We Owe Something To The Government To Grow Up In This Great Country. I'm Tired Of Hearing People In The Private Sector Talk Like They Don't Owe The Government Anything. We Do. This Is A Great Country Because We All Pay Into It. It's About Time We All Pay Into It. ... If We Paid The Same Amount Of Taxes We Paid When Bill Clinton Was President, I Would Be A Happy Guy, And The Budget Would Be Closer To Balanced. You Cannot Give Away Money, Whether You Give It To Rich Or Poor People. That's What George Bush Did -- Excuse Me, Trillions Of Dollars. You Can't Do That.

What I Usually Do Is Tell Funny Stories From The Road, Many Of Which Are, Of Course, Unprintable. But I Don't Actually Have A Joke. I Don't Tell Jokes Much. I Tell Little Stories.
