They did not STEAL IT. People too stupid to keep their "wealth" never deserved it in the first place. Like taking candy from a baby.

I don't spend a lot of time listening to radio except when I am on my way to my orthodontic man who is 140 miles away. When I have my radio on for that over 2 hour drive it is to hear Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and a couple of others of that stripe. I make one or two trips like that per month and they keep me pumped up because I don't listen to them any other time.

When I want to hear music I use CD, old time records, tapes and the like. That way I don't have to listen to that talk in between.

Sorry communism does not work.

Also, people should not be so pathetic as to wish for other people's earnings.

Moore stole his, more or less, by using his form of communication to get the lefties wild eyed about Bush. Yeah, I think he just plain stole that money.

I think it is obvious that Michael Moore is a hypocrite. The man says the wealthy should be sharing their wealth but he has failed to lead by example.

I can tell you what part of the TOS is keeping me from telling you what I really think about your posts, that good enough?

Communism must work since one of Moore's favorite films was about how superior Cuban medicine is. Well, maybe it only works for people like Moore.

Moore would be an excellent example to prove that you can't tell how much money a man has salted away by how he looks.
