Moore On Wealthy People's Money: "That's Not Theirs, That's A National Resource, It's Ours"
Quote:"They're sitting on the money, they're using it for their own -- they're putting it someplace else with no interest in helping you with your life, with that money. We've allowed them to take that. That's not theirs, that's a national resource, that's ours. We all have this -- we all benefit from this or we all suffer as a result of not having it," Michael Moore told Laura Flanders of GRITtv.
"I think we need to go back to taxing these people at the proper rates. They need to -- we need to see these jobs as something we some, that we collectively own as Americans and you can't just steal our jobs and take them someplace else," Moore concluded.

So - no mention of the hundred of thousands of pages of federal and state laws aimed at making businesses unprofitable here, just a demand to tax the rich 'til there are no rich no more.
And then we can all starve in the dark, when there's no economy left.
So, does the rich film maker M.M. tell anyone what the cutoff is for 'rich'? Or is is something more that I make?
ReplyDeleteMaybe Mr. Moore should set an example about 'giving back'?
I wonder if he'd be willing to toss a few hundred G my way - I've been out of work since a year ago last month.
ReplyDeleteI know the guy's got millions.
