The Consequences of Income Inequality

[wjk]

I'm tired of this discussion of capitalism and socialism; we live in the 21st century, we need an economic system that has democracy as its underpinnings and an ethical code.

Capitalism is against the things that we say we believe in - democracy, freedom of choice, fairness. It's not about any of those things now. It's about protecting the wealthy and legalizing greed

Michael Moore

Wait one...didn't capitalism make that fat fuck rich? Quick, Moore...hide your wealth (and your hypocrisy).

I'm a millionaire, I'm a multi-millionaire. I'm filthy rich. You know why I'm a multi-millionaire? 'Cause multi-millions like what I do.

For a documentary filmmaker, I do very well.

Is he giving it to the poverty stricken in the inner cities? Or is he a hypocrite like so many rich on the left? In other words, getting rich off the very system he supposedly hates. You talk about the Kochs?...look within.

So you're okay with being rich on the right and not giving a dime to anybody and being upfront about it? Seems the poor get fucked either way.

I still believe the lessons I learned when I was raised in a Roman Catholic household. Like, it's harder for a rich man to get into Heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.

You are showing the typical debate skills of the left (very poor and transparent). I never said that. You are inserting words in my discussion.

Now defend Moore. What has he given to the poor? (You to, FC)

(PS. I'll be really disappointed in you if you start name calling. {Not you, though, FC, because you can't help yourself})

I lived in Michigan years ago. Moore is an uneducated fat slob. But there are always others like him who will flock to see his movies or read his drivel. I think right now he's worried about how much $$$ he had to cough up to his ex-wife.

He spends his $$ on himself!

According to the Detroit News, anti-capitalism "everyman" filmmaker Michael Moore owns 9 homes. On top of a $2 million, 10,000 square foot lakefront mansion in Torch Lake, Michigan, there is a Manhattan condo that was once 3 condos, and 7 other properties. Moore's secret role as a land baron was revealed in divorce papers.

Who am I to defend Moore? I don't even know him. But what he -- or anyone else -- does with his money is his business as long as it's legal.

So what if he is? What he says is still true.

See if you can fit those two ideas in your head at the same time without it exploding.

It really is disgusting when a guy in a ball cap with a high school education is the one asking the tough questions.
