He's absolutely right, of course.

That's why the elitist rich support the left, and why the left is so strongly in favor of "progressive" income taxes, estate taxes, and other obstacles to the accumulation of
wealth.

It makes it harder for other people to become rich, and they don't want the competition.

Lets all write stupid books and get rich

[TRY ONE]

"...there are only going to be a few rich people, and you are not going to be one of them. So get used to it."

1) Bill Gates made several thousand millionaires at Microsoft! Of course, that was Capitalism working at its best, something that Moore hates.

2) How many millionaires are there in Moore's world of Socialism --- in Sweeden, France, Russia ....?

[IncPen]

OK, I'm game...

The takeover has happened right under our noses. We've been force-fed some mighty powerful "drugs" to keep us quiet while we're being mugged by this lawless gang of CEOs.

I don't know about you, but this is reason enough for me to own a gun.

One of these drugs is called fear and the other is called Horatio Alger.

My main fear is that Michael will steal my food. Seriously, here's a guy who 'made it' telling you that you can't, and he's trying to stir fear in you to convince you.

The fear drug works like this: you are repeatedly told that bad, scary people are going to kill you, so place all your trust in us, your corporate leaders, and we will protect you.

Isn't this the gist of every one of Michael Moore's movies, and his political stand?

But since we know what's best, don't question us if we want you to foot the bill for our tax cut social program, or if we decide to slash take over your health benefits or jack up the cost of buying make you buy some deadbeat a home.

And if you don't shut up and toe the line and work your ass off, we will sack you - and then just try to find a new job in this economy, punk!

Let me get this straight, CEOs want to fire the workers and keep the money for themselves. How do you manufacture products with no employees?

[dead]

During the past 20 years, companies including Disney, Nestle, Procter & Gamble, Dow Chemical, JP Morgan Chase and Wal-Mart have been secretly taking out life insurance policies on their low- and mid-level employees and then naming themselves - the corporation - as the beneficiary! That's right: When you die, the company - not your survivors - gets to cash in. If you die on the job, all the better, as most life-insurance policies are geared to pay out more when someone dies young. And if you live to a ripe old age, even long after you've left the company, the company still gets to collect on your death. And regardless of when you croak, the company is able to borrow against the policy and deduct the interest from its corporate taxes.

I don’t know why this is supposed to outrage me. If they want to buy a life insurance policy that’s their business. Any legal scheme that keeps money away from the socialists in our government gets my official stamp of approval.

Maybe I’ll buy one on that fat moron Moore, except the rates would be sky high after his physical.

[FairWitness]

An inescapable fact of life is that no more than 1 percent of the population can be in the top 1 percent at any given time.

[Born Conservative]

don't question us if we want you to foot the bill for our tax cut

Nobody's footing the bill for a tax cut; it's a CUT, not a PAYMENT.

[HEY4QDEMS]

[Liberal Classic]

Silly parlor pink. He's an Horatio Alger story all by his lonesome.

[joesnuffy]

Who ever said the American Dream was to become rich?

The American Dream was always about Freedom

Freedom to Worship first of all

Freedom from an oppressive form of government

Freedom to own your own land your own home

To raise your children as you saw fit and to bring them up in fear and admonition of The Lord
To band together for mutual defense not dependent upon king nor anyone else

To own weapons as well for self protection family protection and neighborprotection

The American Dream was never about greed or power ..that is the dream of the left...
and of despots and those who dream of becoming despots

To create a nation of dependent peons who give all their power to the oligarchs -who promise the peons the spoils of those who have built and own property and businesses created from the sweat of their brow in freedom -stolen from them to give to those who are unwilling to work for it..

The hook is the peons are lied to and their greed their baser natures are appealed to by the oligarcs who have no intention of sharing anything with peons...only to use them as either cannon fodder to to get them out of the way in order to spoil the owner of private property's house

[VoodooEconomics]

"The wealthy did everything they could to en courage this attitude." - encore, encore! The evil mojahedin rich - Mange les riches!

[Mr. Jeeves]

Wealthy Europeans pay up to 65% in taxes, and they know better than to bitch too loud about it or the people will make them fork over even more.

They also know better than to expand their businesses, hire new employees, invent new products, or invest in their own countries' economies. No point in being productive if one is simply going to be punished for it.

[Dr.Deth]

I pity this man. No one with any self-respect whatsoever would broadcast such bellicose hypocrisy, let alone allow himself to become a fat, smelly, kohl-smeared CHUD.

Unless of course, this is part of the joke, and he's the funniest guy in history, and the other 6 billion riders on this rock are just too slow to get it.

Hmm.

[wayoverontheright]

Listen, friends, you have to face the truth: you are never going to be rich. The chance of that happening is about one in a million.

That's funny, the Democratic Party wants to categorize some 50% of us as 'rich' when it comes to who they think should get a tax cut.

[Fraulein]

We are more than happy to cut their taxes even as ours go up!

Interesting that Michael Moore places his own income among the bottom brackets...

[alloysteel]

Michael Moore could not describe an "average" American if somebody put a gun to his head. He doesn't KNOW any "average" Americans. Nobody does. The composite does not exist in one person. Or a hundred. The statistical "average" American is a myth compounded over decades, even centuries, that reflects no one.

Michael has an overpowering dread and fear of "corporate" America, a myth that no more exists than the "average" American. Corporations are the fruit of the imaginations of relatively few people, who have shared their harvest of the marketplace with all who have supported and bought into the vision of the founders of the corporation. General Motors is not a huge corporation because the crushed out all competition. They are a huge and relatively successful corporation because they sold products that were competitive and they could make some margin of profit. In doing so, they paid wages to a lot of people who had no vision for making the products by themselves. When the inevitable happened, the job of the wage earner bacame obsolete, two choices were always available - act on a vision of your own, and become an entrepreneur, or apply whatever skills you had to another wage earner place.

How do you strike an "average" between those two courses of action?

[Mad Dawgg]

"It was all a ruse concocted by the corporate powers-that-be who never had any intention of letting you into their club. They just needed your money to take them to that next level, the one that insulates them from ever having to actually work for a living. They knew the big boom of the 90s couldn't last, so they needed your money to artificially inflate the value of their companies so their stocks would reach such a phantasmal price that, when it was time to cash out, they would be set for life, no matter how bad the economy got."

Hey dawg, have you ever seen WIllie and Michael Morroe in the same room together?

I am starting to wonder...

[LurkedLongEnough]

Michael still does not reveal his secret plan to eat everyone who disagrees with him.

[SpinyNorman]

And why would "corporate America" let Moore rake in his riches?

If what he said were true, "corporate America" would shoot him down like the gas filled blimp he is (think of the size of that grease spot!)
