Moore: "America is not broke"

By Bill Glauber of the Journal Sentinel

Madison - "America is not broke," filmmaker Michael Moore declared in a speech to pro-labor demonstrators Saturday at the state Capitol.

"The country is awash in wealth and cash," he said. "It's just not in your hands."

He said wealth has been transferred "in the greatest heist in history" from the workers to the bankers and the super-rich.

"Wall Street, the banks and the Fortune 500 now run this Republic," he said.

Moore called Gov. Scott Walker "your soon to be ex-Governor."

He added that there have been three major lies over the last decade:

"Wisconsin is broke. There are weapons of mass destruction (in Iraq). And the Packers need (Brett)

Favre to win the Super Bowl."

Moore said people in Wisconsin "have aroused a sleeping giant, known as the working people."

"Right now, the earth is shaking and the ground is shifting under the feet of those who are in charge," he said. "Your message has inspired people in all 50 states: 'We have had it.' "

"We are all Wisconsonites now," he said. "We are rich with ideas and talent and hard work and love, yes love."

"For three weeks you have stood in the cold, sat on the floor, skipped out of town to Illinois, whatever it took you've done it," he said. "What is certain, Madison is only the beginning."

Well, if a Hollywood limousine socialist says so, let's up the spending and send the bill to the rich (but not the rich-and-famous).

The ground is shaking because he’s walking.

He should stick to being a poor excuse for a documentary maker.

The man is seriously ignorant and deluded, why do people print anything that he says?

Michael Moore is "rich."

How does that work?

Has this rally jumped the shark yet?

I’m still hoping Hayden Penatierre will show up in between shampoo commercial filmings to share her wisdom on the workers’ struggle.

I can accept that Moore has problems evaluating daily caloric intake required to maintain a healthy body mass and daily caloric intake atually indulged in.

However, even a moron of Moore-onic proportions should be able to discern the significance of a comparison of our current national debt and our current national GDP, which, as I recall, are almost identical.

His docs are poor but the only thing I will (grudgingly) give him is Canadian Bacon. Not because of him exactly but of the people in it.

He couldn’t be more wrong. You’d think someone that wealthy would know how to read a balance sheet. Then again, he probably has a small army of accountants. He probably isn’t smart enough to understand a balance sheet, micro or macro economics... What do you expect from a lib?

Michael Moore also said that money is one of our nation’s natural resources.

He said that the wealthy and powerful are not investing and using that key natural resource.

Now, liberals are against using many of our natural resources. They are against oil drilling, coal mining, oil shale development, etc. But Michael Moore indicates that the liberal view is to be in favor of using other people’s money as if we were using our natural resources. But we’re not supposed to use our resources according to other liberals.

I will never understand the liberal mindset.
