be careful your jealousy is showing - WI MT
[ In Reply To ..]We all know that Michael Moore feels that other people's money is a national resource. If it was up to him and apparently you too we would all be communist and have everything spread out evenly. America is the land of equal opportunity not equal outcome. Being jealous of other people's wealth is not very becoming of you.
Are you citing a little piece of MM's entire interview? - no1joe
[ In Reply To ..]Like someone else just did a few days ago?
I posted the link to the entire interview that time, and I'll do it again. Like I said, if someone took little bits and pieces of things I say here and there as they please, I'd look nutty too.

Wait wait wait...Michael Moore doesn't want to share - Kendra
[ In Reply To ..]his wealth, just everyone else's. He has some money he could be spreading around to make things more equal, but is he distributing it to poor people and bringing himself to their levels? No. That is the problem with socialism. It doesn't work.
Class Warfare - WonderBread
[ In Reply To ..]Sounds like the peasants before the Bolshevist Revolution. The end result of that was - everybody was poor.
Exactly! ..and Moore says our country is not in debt - and has plenty of money. He is nuts!.nm

some have money - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Some people have money - so what? No one said you couldn't go out and make money and be rich like them.
Although if you lived in many other countries, that wouldn't be possible, would it?
Quit whining about the rich and go make your own money. When did this "woe is me" attitude become the norm in this country?
some have money-part2 - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I'm sorry if I came across as telling the OP to quit whining. That's not what I intended. It was intended for the Michael Moore drones.

Redistribution Of WealthJan 06, 2014
It always fascinating to me that so many of us can look at the same issues and come up with such different conclusions.

Here is what redistribution of wealth means to me: The Walton family has as much wealth as the bottom 40% of the U.S. population yet they pay their employees wages that are so low that the taxpaye ...

That's 24% of their own. Unlike Bernie, I haven't seen any articles that show any party-crossing for Trump...not a single Democrat voting for him. Oh, there must be someone, sure...
