Aside from the whole business of creating the motion picture industry, and providing the people with the wherewithal to spend time watching movies, rather than gathering food, allowing a standard of living beyond the dreams of Medieval royalty for even the poorest people, et cetera, capitalism has done absolutely nothing for humanity.All communism has done is to provoke envy in people for the fruits of capitalism. Capitalism provides those fruits.

“Look, you know, I mean, I make documentary films,” said Moore. “So, clearly, I’m not loaded in the way you described."

So $50 million isn't enough, you gluttonous swine?

Maybe he’s blaming capitalism for making him fat. He’s a good example of someone that uses his money while making stupid choices.

Perhaps Zimbabwe would be a great place for him to live, he could drop a few pounds there.

No, Mike, it was socialism that made you a millionaire. Everytime leftist idiots like Moore speak, the American public realizes what fools they are.

CNSNews.com asked: “Critics may say, when they see this movie, Michael Moore has amassed a fortune of over $50 million, some have said and –”

Moore said: “Really? Are you kidding me? Seriously? Wow. Where did it go?”

I’m guessing most of it went to McDonalds, Burger King, Wendys.....

Are you kidding me? He would be off the plane for ten minutes, then you’d hear a muffled scream, a thud that sounds suspiciously like a cudgel whacking into the back of a human skull, and finally the aroma of cooking meat wafting under your nostrils...

ROTFLMAO. Michael Moore is just another Hollywood parody of a socialist. Everything in his life handed to him on a platter by the capitalist society that made it possible. And they spit on it. He is worse than a fool. He is evil.

Michael Moore (quote), from his website, April 14, 2004...

"The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not 'insurgents' or 'terrorists' or 'The Enemy.' They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win. Get it, Mr. Bush?"

He's around 55 years old. Not many men as out of shape and overweight as he is make it much past 60 years old.

Ahh, socialist redistribution in it’s purest form. Yes, he definitely needs to stay in Zimbabwe.

Exactly. To add to that he was allowed the ability to risk anything and everything in pursuit of his vision and dream. It paid off. Speaking of apples, I am going to guess Mr. Michael—professional commie, rabble rouser—doesn’t eat a whole lot of apples. I can just see him stuffing his face when he is not in front of the camera and certainly not with the fruitful gifts from a loving, forgiving, inspiring God.

“Capitalism did nothing for me.”

“I had to beg, borrow and steal to get people to pay me huge sums of money for my hard work. You would not believe how hard it was for me to earn this much money. It is absolutely not a fair system. Look what I had to go through to get rich.”

To demonstrate what an arrogant imbecile this is, he denounces capitalism while exactly defining how it gave him the opportunity to be rich.

To add stupidity to this walking putrid stink hole, he doesn't realize that under the system he promotes, not only would his movies against his government have not been shown, he would be in jail for even trying to make them.
