Posted by newnation on Nov 01, 2011, 11:21 AM EDT wow! how quickly is everyone on the comment board jumping to conclusions without any facts? never heard the saying "don't believe everything you read!"? CAPITALISM DOESN'T WORK! he has helped get that point across. bring out all your facts without just jumping to conclusions on some simple propaganda! Capitalism is what made MM rich.

People think OWS is anti-wealth; it's not. It's anti-fraud and cheating to get that wealth. It's anti-theft. Michael Moore can be as much a part of it as he likes, because even though he's wealthy he's proven time and again he cares about the same things as the OWS crowd. As for those who disparage him, the word idiot is too complex for you, since you obviously want to help those who've looted this country of nearly half its wealth. I'd say you should be ashamed of yourselves, but you have no sense of what that word means.

Michael Moore is a fraud.

M.Moore champion of the poor and the middle classes.Hated by teahadists and the Koch brothers,Moore is a legend.

Of course wealthy Americans can support policies that mitigate the disparity between the 1& and the rest of us, including reforming the tax code to go back at least to the Reagan tax rates, which taxed the wealthy at a much higher rate than now. There are other policies that would expand the middle class, bringing in more of the poor. I personally favor the Nixon welfare reforms, called the negative income tax, which would have set a bottom and then madded federal payuals and families up at least to that bottom. This increased buying power and hekped businesses as well.

Wealth is relative.A starving African would see a wino on the street as been in a good position if the wino lived in a rich country.Specking up against injustice in the system is always a good thing.Oddly enough he made his money doing just that.A famous rich guy will get more media attention then a nobody.I wouldn't knock him too much.

Interesting that he differntiates himself from other rich people. Does he know if they were ever unemployed ? How much they give to charity ? ( I notice he doesn't disclose how much or to what charities he gives to ) How hard they work to get rich ? No, he just claims he is different and they are all evil. What a shyster.

" ... Moore recalls how he too was once unemployed in Flint, Michigan. ..." but still managed to get fat.

Michael Moore is a Great American. Rich people caring about their poor brethren has a long and noble tradition, in America and elsewhere. Other, different,examples are both the Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. It's called noblesse oblige. Unfortunately since the era of Saint Ronnie the elite, waging class warfare on the poor, have been unable to restrain themselves. OWS has begun the swing back against those selfish times.

Agree with PiperMac52. Why doesn't he spread his wealth around? Moore is only willing to spread a very small portion of his wealth that he obtained through the very system he likes to criticize. Having his cake and eating it, too.

Moore wants it both ways, if you are wealthy than how do you demonstrate against those with wealth. Typical of Hollywood, this is not a demonstration against only Wall Street this is a demonstration against everyone with wealth, no matter how you have it, it should be shared with those less fortunate! The crime here is that 1% have so much and Michael Moore is part of the 1%. Plain and simple!

Michael Moore is an idiot and a hypocrite. He criticizes the very system of which he took advantage to become a multimillionaire.
