I didn't say I was "against" Moore and the lifestyles of the Hollywood elites, nor did I say teachers weren't part of the "middle class".

I won't engage further with a liar.

Michael Moore's net worth is listed between $25,000,000 and 50,000,000.

Is that rich? Seems rich to me. Isn't that our money?

Moore is fighting for increasing taxation on the wealthy, which would include him. I guess he is then willing to do his part.

Or, he and his pals in Hollywood could just start giving away their money to those they think that "deserve" it. What is stopping them? What, they cant do it without the government prying it from their hands?

Then again, these are the same folk that preach about the environment yet use up more energy and pollute more in a month/year than we will our entire lives.

Lame post and poor rebuttal. How do you know what Moore does/or does not donate? How much do the top 2% income earners "donate?"

Funny to watch people make the assumption Moores motives are pure rather than selfish.

After all he is a filmaker in Hollywood where nothing is what it seems.

A true working class hero comes to help the cause in Wisconsin.

He is right when he said that the wealthy have overreached.

"Working class hero"?

Michael Moore is a rich, fat (literally) cat who comes from an upper class family and has never had adversity one day in his life. He is a petty demagogue and his "buisness", designed to enrich himself, is falsely promoting the cause of "working people", while practicing quite a different policy. Every left wing loon in the US has lit to Wisconsin like a moth to a light bulb- they just cannot help themselves. Of course, Jesse Jackson showed up there. When will Sean Penn and Al Sharpton be showing up? I just can't wait.

Another liberal hypocrite. Is there such thing a genuine liberal?

Why didn't Moore create a rally or protest for the old, poor and disabled when he heard that TPTB will cut their benefits they need just to survive??? Perhaps it's because teachers and supervisors can afford to buy movie tickets...

My head just freaking exploded. Really? He's "working class"?

News flash, genius - he's wealthy. The fact that he's trotting himself out there as one of the "regular folk" just proves how absolutely nuts the guy is.
