No. He told you in the video what he meant....Raise taxes on the wealthy.

While I like some of Moore's work, he has only presented partial truths. He's been spot on with all of the wrongdoings by Bush, Wall St. and their friends, but he's pretty much given Obama a free pass. Until Moore criticizes Obama for doing the same things as Bush did, I will not be a true fan of him.

You know what? America would not be in the serious s_t it is in now, if Moore had been in office instead of the idiot Shrub.

That post was in reference to Michael Moore and his supporters on this board.

I'm generally a liberal, and I can hardly stomach watching Michael Moore. I'll admit that part of it is simply his appearance. Yuck. But more importantly, he comes across to me as whiny, obnoxious, and unrealistic.

I don't know if leftist is an appropriate term to describe the man. Its not like there have not been any leftists who could give a somewhat reasonable argument. Chomsky, Parenti, Sanders. All of them are capable of raising a good point. Moore is just all over the place. Probably because its all about him.

Wow. Think the rich should pay more to fund governmment........Crazy leftists!

Only that's the path most Americans would choose according this Rasmussen poll from two days ago.

45% Favor Candidate Who Promises to Only Raise Taxes on Wealthy, Highest Level In Over Two Years - Rasmussen Reports™

Or this one 1 month ago at 61%
