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.
