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?

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.
