Speaking to public sector workers in Madison, Wisconsin last week liberal film maker Michael Moore made this statement: “America is not broke. Not by a long shot. The country is awash in wealth and cash.”
Michael Moore is an interesting study in contradiction. He’s made a career of trashing his country, and made a fortune doing so under the same capitalistic economic system he so bitterly criticizes and tries so hard to discredit. Question: Does a successful capitalist have any credibility at all trashing capitalism?
Normally, no, but that doesn’t stop Mr. Moore, who is upset that the country’s wealth and cash is controlled by those to whom it belongs. He believes that all money, assets, and resources should belong to the government, and that it should be run by liberal elites, who know better than everyone else how things should be done.
Moore is right. Take the money from him, please!
Moore has realized that other people still have money, so he's still stomping on the accelerator, heading toward increased socialism.
I think Moore is pretending to be a Marxist. It makes an otherwise socially unacceptable ugly slob the darling of the elites.
He craves the fawning of the left, but at heart he is the greediest of them all.
Michael Moore could make a powerful statement if he wanted to. He’s a millionaire many times over. He doesn’t have to worry about how to pay his bills. Maybe he should give away his own money. Set up some charity or fund to help the poor and unemployed, for example. And he could go back and live in Flint, to impress us that he likes his humble roots.
But if money in the hands of a wealthy elite is a natural resource, which should be harvested to help the poor and downtrodden, why doesn’t he go first, and show us all how it’s done?
And any future documentary propaganda movies he makes, should be shown for free. No need to sell tickets.
I’ve never understood how documentaries make so much money. They’re very simple and cheap to make, especially with the software that’s available today.
IMHO, he is acting EXACTLY like a good Marxist-elitist.
If you look at the leaders of the world's Socialist countries, you won't find a pauper among them! Heck, go look at the list of richest Congress-critters in Washington. Most of them are left of Karl Marx and are willing to spend OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY, especially when a portion of it ends up in their own personal accounts.
Just heard last week that, the fat slob hypocrit, is spending 5 million to renovate his house in Traverse City, Mich.
