Interesting...

So you disagree with liberal pundits and political leaders who use terms like "greed" and "fair share?"

Having a net worth of $50 million probably makes you look like a hypocritical frick stick.



I dislike Michael Moore a lot, but $50 Million is much compared to the top 400 people in the US.

They total 1.27 Trillion dollars. The least of which have 1.3 Billion.

How about, oh you know, donating it?

Because, in my book, you're an a-hole if your philosophy on helping those in need is "oh, well I paid my taxes. Let the government take care of them."

Having that philosophy, while also having a $50 million net worth, makes you a hypocritical a-hole.

If Michael Moore was a normal person, I wouldn't care. But he spends his life decrying free markets and capitalism, and he pretends he is some everyday blue collar worker with his stupid MSU Spartans ballcap.

how do you know he didn't? his movies have grossed 187M, and that is before books, appearances, and other licensing shite.

he could have donated half for all we know. We don't know as he hasn't disclosed that.

I am not a big fan of his but I chalk this up to - who the frick cares?

don't like the guy, but he doesn't trash capitalism ... he trashes the way it's run ... might not do the best or most honest job at it, but there's a difference ... and his creation of a movie that people pay to see is not the equivalent of romney paying 15 % in taxes or gm moving jobs to mexico ... not saying those are bad, but the analogy in this context that he's the same as the ceo's is off ...

but, that's what we do here in good ol america when debating politics ... bitch about the other side and forget the facts ...

As for McCain, I think this issue wasn't how many homes he owned - but that he wasn't paying the property taxes on them.


Wrong again, he couldn't tell a reporter how many houses he owned and you guys went completely bat shite over it

This shouldn't matter to any sane person, since any sane person wouldn't consider MM as relevant in the first place. Why we even give these dopes a nano-second of our time and attention is beyond me. He's nothing more than a curiosity.

Now go hug your kids.

Well, at least with Hillary, we know she's down with it. After all, when she left the White House, all she could afford was this shack in the ghetto part of Chappaqua, New York --





And, before she left the White House, she knew she was going to need D.C. housing, so she shopped around for Section 8 housing and could only afford this $7 million home in Georgetown --



Po Lil' Ole Lame Hillary. She couldn't even afford to pay for Chelsea's tuition.

To think, he could pay for college for 1500 kids but he is keeping it all to himself. What a jerk.

Those are the same thing. If the entire wealth of the world is divided into 10 units and you claim one group owning 3 units is too little that is the same as claiming those who own the remaining 7 units have too much. Where else can the group owning 3 units get more than from those owning 7? Apparently it is you who doesn't get it.
