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."

His docs are poor but the only thing I will (grudgingly) give him is Canadian Bacon.

I'd give him some Canadian bacon too, but just to get his cholesterol level into the four digit range.

This fat, out of touch with reality POS is such a sterotypical liberal stooge.

"We're not broke because I say so."

Never mind the facts you freakin' village idiot. If you say it, it must be so, because, well, you're Michael Moron and you approved this message. FOAD.

Hey, Mike, why don’t you set an example and give all your money away.

Surprised that the headline wasn’t Moore supports drilling ... wallets. We’re resource rich dontchaknow?

Obamanomics 101: cripple businesses, drive up fuel prices, raise taxes, create penalties on investment profits, give the economy nothing but uncertainty and then expect confidence and investment to soar.

I know someone who is out of a job right now so how about you send him and two of his friends who are also laid off say, 50 grand each. That’s just a drop in the bucket for a rich liberal POS like you. While we’re at it let’s confiscate 90% of the assets of Oprah and Warren Buffett. They, like moore, like to preach this socialist shit so it’s time for them to be forced to live what they preach.

FUBO & FAD

He is smart enough, however, to hire non-union help and use non-union shops for post-production of his films.

How is it that all the wealthy Socialist-wannabe's ALWAYS made their money via the Capitalist System, and then want Socialism to be the lay-of-the-land for everyone else?

This fatass is just jealous of those who've made more money than him, and that the only woman who'd be in his league is Rosie O'donnell (same size; same brain-dead mentality).

It’s not the income of Americans that Michael Moore and Obama covet.

It’s the assets they want. Trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars worth of assets.

It was only “broke” when Bush was in office spending a third of what Obama has spent.

The gross hypocrisy of Communists is unbelievable ...All the little people should share their wealth but the wealthy seem to feel exempted..

I know a young atheist communist woman ( from a communist family) for many years, she is a high school friend of my daughter. .

As teens she would tell me her life goal was to start a commune where everyone was equal .

Today she still holds a communist viewpoint but never “shares” her 100k income with the poor or needy.. the government is supposed to do that

Michael Moore could easily share his wealth to show his commitment to a socialist/communist society .. but note he holds every dollar and just works to make it come from the “government “

Hypocrite..

He should be true to his words and donate his millions to the state of Wisconsin.

“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.

Don’t any of these morons have jobs? Hey Moore, you hypocrite! How much is in your bank accounts? I notice you’re not volunteering to provide your wealth to these morons. I wonder why?:

It’s not at all uncommon for Hollywood liberals to ditch Unions.

They are hypocrites.

The left now says Obama is needlessly spending billion on TARP money to prop up International Corporations.

No film at 11pm, anywhere.

As long as the Treasury spits out 20 dollar bills 24/7/365 I guess fatass Moore is correct. We’re awash in cash.
