“I can’t be bought because these people have spent $10 at the movie theater to buy tickets to my movies or $3 at the old Blockbuster, when there was a Blockbuster. And as a result of that I get to keep making these movies. But here’s the thing – because I’ve also – I’ve had a peek behind the curtain because these books I write, these movies I make are made for essentially large corporations. The only reason they allow this to happen is because I make them a lot of money.”
And with that explanation, Moore continued to insist he wasn’t among the 1 percent.
“Of course I’m not,” Moore said. “How can I be in the 1 percent? No, that’s not true. I do really well. I do well, but what’s the point, though?”
Michael Moore needs to lose some of that fat and that ridiculous neckbeard before I'll take him seriously, but that's OT.
He is in the 1%... he definitely makes more than 99% of Americans, and I'm sure he pays an accountant/tax attorney to get himself as many breaks as possible.

If he gives up enough of his income to drop him to, say, 15-20K, then he might be among the 99%. Preferably to the centralized government system he advocates, rather than to some charity that will just squander the money. Not holding my breath on that happening.
Well, hypocrisy from the Left is SOP. This guy actually believes he's not part of the 1%.
He made 5 B movies and wrote a couple of books that no one reads, you actually believe he is up there with the 1% ers?
Whats your definition of a 1%er?
Michael Moore is deluding himself to think he is not part of that 1%. Of course he is. He tries to get out of it by saying that he provides a good that people want. How does he think the majority of the rich earn their money? Granted, some got rich due to cronyism or political favoritism. And some inherited their money (which still can positively contribute to the economy). But a good portion of rich people got rich by providing a good or service people want and a lot of the time it's only $10 or $3 at a time.
