Muli-millionaire Michael Moore scolds the rich
Posted: Mar 3, 2011
To Mr. Multi-millionaire Moore: I would like my cut of "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "Capitalism: A Love Story" right now. I think you should an example for the rest of the evil rich folk. After all, if the money doesn't belong to the American who earned it, then you need to get your checkbook out now.
"They're sitting on the money, they're using it for their own -- they're putting it someplace else with no interest in helping you with your life, with that money. We've allowed them to take that. That's not theirs, that's a national resource, that's ours. We all have this -- we all benefit from this or we all suffer as a result of not having it," Michael Moore told Laura Flanders of GRITtv.
"I think we need to go back to taxing these people at the proper rates. They need to -- we need to see these jobs as something we some, that we collectively own as Americans and you can't just steal our jobs and take them someplace else," Moore concluded.

So he advocates raising his own taxes. Thanks for - pointing that out.
[ In Reply To ..]Guess that means some rich folks are more than willing to pay their fair share, huh?
I was wondering why... - no1joe
[ In Reply To ..]the video was cut so short. Toward the end, I thought he might have been leading up to the topic of offshoring American jobs ("you can't just steal our jobs and take them someplace else"), which I think we can all agree has impacted this industry at least. It would be nice if someone is speaking out about it. I searched and found another video that was over 14 minutes long. Can't understand why this one was cut...
hmmm - icedT
[ In Reply To ..]Shhh, don't tell anyone, but it's a conspiracy we're working on to make Michael Moore look like a Marxist. The Koch Bros told me not to show the entire 14-minute video because it would reveal Michael Moore as a closet capitalist and that he really DOES want to keep all of his money.
shhh don't TELL them....without them the - tea party would not even exist...
[ In Reply To ..]lololool...(sorry, have to take a breath) lolol.
you know, I really do enjoy sparring with you/back to work for me/nm - icedT

I was just wondering - no1joe
[ In Reply To ..]Someone posted on the Offshore board that The Donald was talking about offshoring last night on Letterman, so I didn't know if this was the latest flavor of the month as far as celebrity causes go.
Anyway, here's the entire interview for those who are interested. I guess I just feel bad. I know if people just took little snippits of what I had to say here and there, I'd probably look like a total nut.

He is talking about jobs going overseas - sm
[ In Reply To ..]That is what he means by holding onto the money and taking it somewhere else. This is something we can all agree on from our own personal experiences. MTs could be the poster children used to drive this point home. In you haste to protect those evil rich folk (your favorite catch phrase, we get it already) from all those alleged wannabes, you have missed the point entirely.
Whether you realize it or not, Moore contributes something far more valuable than any check he writes could ever buy. He gives voice to a wide variety of concerns Middle Class Americans have over the economy, health care, jobs, wages, etc and relentlessly pursues and exposes the root causes of their plight.

He stated he's supporting Trump. Really? Don't think so. He's a freaking liar, but then, anyone with sense knows that. He's really on Hillary's side and worried.

As he explained to his 10 million listeners, "There is no Republican party. It's an appendage of the Democratic machine."

I think our President needs to move his office and staff to a boat and park it next to the gusher. Hopefully, that will make people happy. I guess Republicans have forgotten how many days Bush spent at his Texas ranch. Last week, it was an ad. This time, it's a statement from the GOP chairman. O ...
