Hot Mic exclusive: Moore wants 50% income tax rate, won’t donate to US Treasury [VIDEO] By Nicholas Ballasy 12:20 AM 01/13/2012
Academy award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore told The Daily Caller in an exclusive interview that he wants the United States to enact a 50 percent tax rate for America’s highest-earning taxpayers, but would not donate to the U.S. Treasury himself.
Moore did not deny reports that his net worth exceeds $50 million, but stressed that he uses his money, which he called a “private matter,” to attack the GOP’s position on lower taxes. He told TheDC at Washington, D.C.’s Union Station on Thursday that he does not credit capitalism for his commercial success in the film industry, saying that “socialist countries” have movies too.
Asked by TheDC if he would like to move to another country, given his anti-capitalist leanings, Moore said, “I’m not leaving.”

Dang, looks like he’s not leaving.
Socialists are so damn greedy people. They want control of everyone’s money and deny them the opportunity for others to increase their wealth.
Yeah, they do. Not a tenth of the number made here and not a tenth of the wealth created by the ‘Socialist’ movies for their producers, directors, actors, etc. But go ahead Michael, keep it up. You haven't had a hit in years. Your money is making money for you (Capitalism) and that's why you're wealthy. You should acknowledge the obvious.
Michael More...He’s more than America.
Don’t forget to butter and toast the buns... :-)

Hostess Brands - maker of Twinkies - preparing to file for bankruptcy. No word on if they've put Michael Moore on suicide watch, yet. #tcot 12 Jan
Add extra cheese, a ton of mayo and some bacon. Please!
I've heard that conservative dollars are dollars once owned by poor.. and are now in the hands of rich conservatives (technical term: One-Percenter wealth) while
progressive dollars are new, never-owned dollars that are honestly acquired by progressive multi-millionaires and progressive billionaires (Ninety-Nine-Percenter wealth).
Shut up Moore you are not relevant.....
I might have one of these myself...starting to look pretty good.
You guys aren't doing it right, you need to think things through a little better...
Alfredo sauce (the good kind) is where we need to steer him!
And that's only speaking in terms of gross mass....
Michael Moore is a living lie.
He does not attack Capitolism, nor our tax system because of his principles, he does it for the money it makes him.
He isn’t about to pay more taxes, nor leave the country, he got rich here doing eactly what he is doing and he isn’t about to leave that gravy train.
He looks like an idiot so he appeals to the idiots who he is taking advantage of.His whole life is a living lie.He is laughing at the fools who watch his idiot documentaries, while cashing in at the bank.
Make those Bowel Burgers Au Jus!*
*Obscure Pynchon reference
One gross mass who has amassed grosses of grotesque massiveness?
In other words, he is a hypocritical {expletive}. He wants government/socialist control over more and more of other people's money, just not his own. But Mikey...if this is such a good idea, why aren't you freely donating your money to mother Amerika? Lead by example, or STFU.
