I think that Gore and Mikey have a rich man’s bet over who can be the biggest hypocrite and get away with it like the two rich guys in trading places.
I think a lot of liberals have an idea of “zero sum game” in the back of their minds. Money and goods that rich people have, must be money and goods that poor people can’t have. Except that most rich people DO invest in poor people, leaving the poor better off than if they had to be itinerant tinkers. There is even some trickle down from Moore, though he is more miserly than most other rich people are.
Oh, don’t you dare call Mikey a hypocrite. All the nuts at DummyU think he’s wonderful. He stands up for the little people. He attacks all the rich corporations. Mikey is not like those nasty, rich Republicans. Those dopes don’t realize that’s how Mikey got rich...by gulling those suckers into seeing his movies and buying his books.
