Well, that is an issue with subsidies, totally different in scope and size in comparison with bailouts and bonuses that followed, then the lies. I'm sure other movie makers received subsidies too. Doesn't make it right, I agree but not the same at all.
He's the one railing about evil corporations, taxpayer subsidies and bailouts and then turns around and seeks the very same for his own benefit. See, that's the definition of a HYPOCRITE.

CEOSCEOSCEOSCEOS!!
We're talking about the very wealthy, the 1%er, disgustingly obese fat boy MM.
You're still going to sit there and deny he IS a 1%er?
Michael Moore has never denied he is rich. But neither does he resist paying his share of taxes. He encourages it and is quite generous with his money for many causes.
But he criticizes something which has made him wealthy (capitalism).
It's like saying you hate horses but you regularly go horseback riding!
He's wealthy. He made his money through hard work starting back in hard scrabble Flint, MI. He came from the 99, and has its interests at heart. This is haterism. If you had his money you'd move out of your moms house too.
....and so have many executives, including bankers, your point is what? Michael Moore and his ilk are nothing more than meatheads....dead from the neck up....

I don't think he is criticizing capitalism per-say but cronyism and monopolistic behavior. Capitalism that forces people to do something they rather not. No one forces anyone to buy his product. There are products one is forced to deal with however. Those products we are forced to purchase are always sky high in costs, lining the pockets of families whose wealth is beyond comprehension. Micheal Moore's wealth is insignificant in comparison hands down.
