That's odd, very odd. Doesn't seem to jive with what MM is saying.

Atheists are pro-Darwin. Survival of the fittest. Capitalism provides that Darwinism they crave so much. I think you're wrong.

I really appreciate the neo-progressive MM apologist bumps! Keeping this thread at the top is a great reward. Thank you ladies and germs.

MM: "Isn't that amazing? I'm here talking against my own interests"

Isn't that what he's accusing the pro-capitalists of doing? Fighting for business and capitalism when they're not among the 1%?

Show me some statistics of the average income of the top 1% earners in the US and Michael Moore's income. Michael says he is not in the top 1% so prove otherwise. His house doesn't not come close to qualifying.

You asked me to find you footage where he denies he's in the 1%. I did that. Let me know if you need any more assistance. I am here to help.

The tax base is $1M and that is just his vacation home, the assessment value is grossly understated considering the location and size of the house. His gross earnings on his films, coupled with the fact that he owns a very expensive Manhattan apartment as his primacy residence helps to reinforce my hypothesis that he exists in the 1%.

Thank you again for the bump.

He's worth somewhere around $50 million.

http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2011/10...ntial_can.html

He admits it after the absurd claim on CNN he was not part of the 1%.

See, even MM invests on WS...

Quote:
In recent years, he has owned shares in Tenet Healthcare, which runs HMOs, Pfizer, and Eli Lilly. He is a complete hypocrite on this front.
Haliburton too.

Why is the Left so easily lied to and duped by their heroes.

He's done well. But one must admit he did not get so well off by bribing congressman, writing legislation to benefit himself and above all receive billions in tax bailouts and then have the gull and power to announce that he paid it all back with interest in record braking time. He's is what he is but he's no thief.

Really? Did you know he got a government (taxpayer) subsidy to make his movie about corporate greed?

He's a HYPOCRITE of the worst kind, on the level with Gore and other mega-wealthy "celebrities" that preach "change" for we, but not for thee.

Only Hollywood liberal I don't consider a hypocrite is Ed Begley Jr. He practices what he preaches about environmentalism. He's still a nut.

Same goes for Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin, Bill Maher and the rest of the Hollywood clowns who like to voice their opinions on how we need to share what we have...but sure as hell aren't opening up their wallets to put their money where their big fat mouths are.

I have no respect for people like Moore....who do nothing but complain and ***** about conservatives and big business, and who have gotten RICH off of the system that they complain about...and then do absolutely NOTHING to show us that they are true to their convictions.

They should either pony up with some dough....or just shut the he11 up and go away.
