Good answer. Thanks for your honesty. I wish many in congress, especially on the left, felt this way. For the record, I'm far from rich, but due to a tightly controlled personal budget, I don't live in personal debt. I help feed the poor with what little I can spare. I only do so through local gov. Enjoyed debating with you. Till next time...

And Jefferson not only wrote the Declaration of Independence but also owned slaves.
So I guess that makes him a hypocrite and we can ignore whatever he may have said or written.
Who else among the founders owned slaves? Hmmm.
Solution to what? Vandalism..........Socialism..........or just any ...-isms.
If your asking for my solution to income inequality...... it would be to restore true capitalism in all it's forms ....as much as possible. ....restore the freedom to fail.
Particularly when those on the right aren't even aware that there are questions to be asked.
Hahaha.
He's is an uneducated dropout.
FACTS .. deal with them.
I've forgotten more about him than your feeble mind might ever know.
So what? What is your point? Do you even have one ?
He is uneducated, a drop out, fat, a hypocrite.....................and he is mostly right.
Openness, transparency - these are among the few weapons the citizenry has to protect itself from the powerful and the corrupt... and that is the best thing that WikiLeaks has done.
Michael Moore
My solution is eradicate the mental disease known as liberalism.
The irony being that in a non capitalist society Moore wouldn't be a millionaire filmmaker. Michael would find himself "disappeared" or in a re-education camp getting his mind right. That said, what we have currently isn't really capitalism. Capitalism works fine until those at the top decide they need to make more, and more, and more, and more, and more, and more, and more, and more, and more...there isn't enough space to add the and mores. The age old characteristics of greed and lust for power come into play in every single society since the beginning of time, and that brings that society down. Rinse, wash, repeat.
Nice try. Those quotes are from Noam Chomsky...
"One Man's View : Noam Chomsky interviewed by an anonymous interviewer," Business Today, May 1973
...capitalism is basically a system where everything is for sale, and the more money you have, the more you can get. And, in particular, that's true of freedom. Freedom is one of the commodities that is for sale, and if you are affluent, you can have a lot of it. It shows up in all sorts of ways. It shows up if you get in trouble with the law, let's say, or in any aspect of life it shows up. And for that reason it makes a lot of sense, if you accept capitalist system, to try to accumulate property, not just because you want material welfare, but because that guarantees your freedom, it makes it possible for you to amass that commodity. [...] what you're going to find is that the defense of free institutions will largely be in the hands of those who benefit from them, namely the wealthy, and the powerful. They can purchase that commodity and, therefore, they want those institutions to exist, like free press, and all that.
