How do you know he didn't?

How do any of us know what he does with his money?

I was actually using the unverified statement from a poster that his net worth was 50million.

Michael Moore | 1 Percent | Occupy Wall Street | The Daily Caller
According to the IRS, the 1% club means you make approx. 950,000 plus a year. His net worth is a supposed
50M. So instead of dragging it out in the interview, the
host should of just stated the stats and rolled his eyes

The hollywood crowd always uses the message of the democrats as if they care while using the capitalist tools of becoming rich and yet are the biggest hypocrites with doing one thing, working the capitalist system to the biggest benefit and then are against the republicans who support capitalism. Doesn't make any sense to me.

I guess Oprah and Kerry aren't 1%ers either....they get a free pass for some unknown reason.....hmmmm.

Oh that's right, you are only a 1%er if you are republican CEO type.

This whole movement smacks of the same faux outrage that permeated the now dead anti-war movement.

Political axe grinding 101.

Here's the douchebag trying to deny the obvious;

Breitbart.tv » Multimillionaire Michael Moore Denies He’s Part Of ‘1%’

Even Peeerrrrsss is having none of it.

Surely there must be other 1%ers that have the altruism and pure intentions that Fat Boy has...no?

Hey Mikey- You have a law suit against one of your partners because you think they screwed you out of $2 million. If you win the case, will you then admit that you're in the 1% club?

Like I said if he self distributed these as political critique they would not be seen by very many. Instead he uses the greed driven distribution system to get the word out to millions. That is a brilliant move.
You know I love your posts, but these jokes belong in the entertainment section. Ohh wait.....you're not serious, are you?
