Last night Esquire threw a party for Michael Moore's new documentary Capitalism: A Love Story, which all about the vulgar displays of income inequality in this country and how Americans are suffering as a result of the recession. Then according to one person who attended the premiere, this happened:

Following the Premiere, Esquire shuttles many of the attendees straight down to SoHo to the opening of The Esquire Apartment – a fully decadent penthouse where every square inch is paid for by a luxury sponsor. Hot tub, $120k pool table, $60k home theater, fine food. The only thing lacking was a doormat saying “Welcome To Capitalism.”

I had fun….But ooooh the irony. Everyone I talked to was like, “man, this is the most bizarre combination. I bet Michael Moore would freak out if he saw that this was happening.”….And then he showed up. And was eating it up. And then one of the families from the film came.

I once met Rhonda the Rabbit Lady, star of Moore's film Roger and Me. She's the one nonchalantly skinning a rabbit while answering his stupid questions. By that time Moore had become a multi-millionaire and moved away to New York City. Rhonda was slinging hash in a K-mart Cafeteria. So much for the workin' people...

I hope John Stossel in his new position at Fox takes on Moore’s hypocrisy.

Ah but they are elite.. They are entitled to their “let them eat cake” mentality.

The elite rich love government and Marxism because they fear competition from other citizens.
