Worth(?) $30 Million Himself, Rock Guitarist Tom Morello Attacks the 'One Percent

Tom Morello constructed a band dedicated to bashing capitalism, among other supposed “injustices.” But beware, Morello fans: this guitarist is, unsurprisingly, worth millions.

Tom Morello, lead guitarist of Prophets of Rage and Rage Against the Machine, takes to Twitter constantly – though not necessarily to discuss his music (given the band’s taste for screaming and ear-ringing metallica, maybe this isn’t such a bad thing). In light of his loud adherence to the Resistance, Morello has an unquenchable penchant for the political.

Well isn't that special. A guitar picker "worth" millions yet railing against capitalism. Hey tom, you aren't the first to come up with this idea. I know there will be some FReepers that are like "Who?", but sadly, there are a lot of antifa types that listen to this kind of crap, and I do mean crap, and take it to heart. Just part of knowing your enemy. I'm thinkin' tommy ought to take his money and go hang out in venezuela. I kinda take offense at the writer using the word "worth". He's not worth spit. He's acquired a bunch of money. Just another chapter in the annals of "Life Ain't Fair."

So he’s a perfect Bernie “Just got another house” Sanders supporter.

No different than every Leftist Hollywood star,athlete or who cries for The Poor, then establishes a tax-dodge “foundation” to shield their millions from the IRS. ALL proceeds to foundations should be taxed at the same rate as individuals are taxed, with NO exceptions. Then we would see who really cares about The Poor.

oops, meant to include politicians in that list of hypocrites

>>oops, meant to include politicians in that list of hypocrites<<

Not to worry. That is like remembering to list “air” in the list of “things we breathe.”

This is how they insulate themselves from the left.

I live in the general vacinity of (meaning within a few miles of) several *very* wealthy and *very* left wing towns.For example,recently I had to take the commuter train to a medical appointment and while walking to the station I saw this very sign:

...in the front yard of a $2 million house.

We must remember that today's Rat Party is controlled by people who own multi million dollar homes yet will chant "from each according to his means" on command.

He is "worth" $30 million. People voluntarily gave him their money in order to listen to his music, live or on recordings. That is the only way economic "worth" can be measured.

Just making the maids and yard help feel welcome.

Limousine liberals...is there ANYTHING they don’t know?

Probably real concerned about the plight of the less fortunate. I wonder if they’ve ever seen it. Turns out, for a lot of them, they lease a chopper to do a fly over to get up close for a first hand look. Then it’s back to the private airport and the waiting (and still running) limo. I know there are some that actually do some good work but dang few and real far between.

[rktman]

LOL! Yeah, neighbor. How many have they taken in to live in their humble abode?

[Starboard]

Many, if not most, rock stars maintain a false persona. In public they act like bad boy outcasts who are on the same level with their fans, but in private they live a life of luxury and privilege with multiple homes and all the trappings of wealth. The schtick works for them for them so they play it for all its worth.

A few years ago I happened to see a well know rock star’s home. It was nothing short of extreme luxury. Due to longevity in the business, I’m sure he earned it and I respect that. But I don’t think most fans realize how incredibly wealthy their idols really are.

Worst guitarist ever.

A brace-faced kid noodling at Guitar Center on a Saturday morning would produce more musical output.

Well,the towns to which I referred are in the Northeast.And when I saw this sign I immediately asked myself "if their new neighbors had a pickup truck with Mississippi plates,a Confederate flag decal and a NASCAR decal would these clowns still be so welcoming?"

Of course I knew the answer as I was asking myself the question.

These guys are awful. Since late 90’s they have been all about the revolution , anti capitalism and Che Guevara. A friend of mine dragged me along at the height of their popularity and it was pathetic - the band and the fans in their Che Guevara t-shirts railing against capitalism.

One of those very signs sprouted about two weeks ago in a libtard-run town here in E Iowa, so some national ".org" is distributing them. In the case of the one I just saw, the home it is in front of is historically a reliable displayer of LGBQT/LMNOP stuff and in the last election had some "Trump hates everybody" type of crap as well.
