Michael Moore Grabs ‘Punk’ Reporter, Growls ‘You Lie!’ Over Wealth Questions

video
» 349 comments

Just days after being confronted by a conservative blogger over his supposed net worth, filmmaker Michael Moore took similar questions from a local CBS reporter at the Occupy Denver protest, with markedly different results. Rather than ignore CBS-4 reporter Evrod Cassimy, Moore engaged him. When Cassimy brought up Moore’s “rumored” $50 million net worth, though, Moore called him “punk media,”  pulled him close, and growled, “You lie!”

The confrontation made for much better video than the previous one, and Moore initially handled the reporter’s questions well, admitting, ““I do very well,” and adding, “Because I do well, I want taxes raised on people who do well, including mine.”

When Cassimy pressed Moore about his specific net worth, however, Moore became visibly angry. He told the reporter, “I don’t have $50 million,” and Cassimy gave Moore an opening, saying, “That’s what it’s rumored you are worth.”

“Well, really” Moore said, “Is that what you do is sell rumors?”

“We’re asking you for the truth,” Cassimy replied.

Moore then put his hand on the reporter’s shoulder, shaking him as he said, “You’re just punk media is all you are.”

“You lie,” he continued, a slight growl in his voice. “You lie to people. Stop lying to people. Stop lying.”

Mr. Cassimy left himself open for Moore’s criticism by citing “rumors,” rather than “reports,” but Michael Moore really ought to do better at engaging this question. He’s got compelling answers, and even though the premise itself is silly, confronting it head on is a surer way to gain converts than scenes like this, which make it appear as though critics of Moore’s wealth have got his number.

There are lots of mega-bucks celebrities who have shown up to support the Occupy protests, and recent polls show that most millionaires support raising taxes on millionaires. You can, apparently, be rich and believe in fairness, simultaneously. Moore can, and does, also argue that he takes his earnings and puts them back into making more films. His wealth, then, is a tool to combat wealth inequality.

    Oh yeah….Fatboy is real tough when he is flanked by his own paid goons to protect him.   Let’s see him walk up to some black guy, put his hand on his shoulder and then call him a punk right to his face without his body guards there.
    He may have said “punk” but his tone was saying “boy”.

    What astounds me is that it is being reported that so many millionaires want to pay more in taxes. All they have to do is write the check. Maybe it’s because they would rather write checks to campaign funds rather than contribute to the US Federal Common Fund. They have more control over policy that way. Michael Moore is a phony, period. He has no credibility.

    It is so easy to imagine liberals finding conservatives guilty with the flimsiest of evidence, and circling the wagons on a liberal no matter how condemning the evidence, huh? Imagine that?

    It wasn’t a teabagger that took out the murdering doctor. The Tea Party did not even exist. No one had the right to execute the baby killer, but the law turned a blind eye for too long on Mr. Tiller, and some nut snapped and took it upon himself to bring him to justice. Blame the liberal justice system that did not take allegations against Tiller serious enough. The very system that “protected” him murdered him. He should be getting raped in prison to this day.

    Son of illegal abortionist, Tiller family criminal conduct spans seven decades

     
     WICHITA, Kansas, April 16 /Christian Newswire/
    — Operation Rescue has uncovered three source documents that reveal a
    pattern of illegal abortions by the Tiller family spanning seven
    decades. 

     

    “George Tiller himself
    has a documented pattern of disregard for the law spanning four
    decades,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.  “It
    gives further urgency to the need to allow the criminal case filed
    against Tiller in December to move forward without further delay.”

     

    Late-term abortionist George R. Tiller has admitted in a signed statement that he has a history of committing illegal abortions. 

     

    A statement, released by Voices of Choice in July, 2005, regarding the impending appointment of a replacement for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor states in part, “As physicians who provided or facilitated abortions before Roe v. Wade, we saw the horrors of illegal abortion first-hand.”  Fourteen abortionists, including George R. Tiller, signed the statement.

    What an ignorant comment.  Have you spent time with Michael Moore?  Do you know him personally?  Have you seen his documentaries?  So he has made honest money without taking peoples pensions, or homes, or jobs.  You see, you rightees don’t get it.  We on the left believe in the American dream… we just don’t believe screwing over others to achieve it. 

    There is a documentary coming out that all you rightess need to see.
     Heist:  Who Stole the
    American Dream?

     

    Summary:  Heist: Who
    Stole the American Dream? reveals how American corporations and Wall Street orchestrated the
    dismantling of middle-class prosperity through rampant deregulation, the
    outsourcing of jobs, and tax policies favoring businesses and the wealthy. The
    collapse of the U.S.
    economy is the result of conscious choices made over thirty five years by a
    small group: leaders of corporations and their elected allies, and the biggest
    lobbying interest in Washington, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. To these
    individuals, the collapse is not a catastrophe, but rather the planned outcome
    of their long, patient work. For the rest of the country, it is merely the
    biggest heist in American history.

    As I said, you rightees just don’t get it.  You couldn’t be more out in left field.  But that is because you have for too long been drinking the koolaid.  And that koolaid is Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Mark Levin, Ann Coulter, etc. 

    So Michael Moore has made millions and he is using it to fight for the injustice that has been going on for over 30 years since it began with Reagan.  God bless him.

    Good post, A good case in point is the late great Steve Jobs.  Many complained after his death that he did not give back….  What?  He provided for over 10,000 families everyday, he has helped thousands of everyday people become millionaires, and continued to provide for his community and the state of California through the taxes his company paid.  Giving money away is not the only way that these people can contribute.  Did those complaining really think that Jobs had all that money stashed away in a bank somewhere?  No, of course not, he had it invested in ongoing concerns that provides jobs, and dignity to those who work for those companies.  

    I would much rather see a wealthy man take a billion dollars and create a business that will sustain itself and provide for thousands of families, than see our government waste the same amount of money on a hapless project that will not be sustained for more than a year or two at the most.

    I like Rush as much as I like Moore. But Moore did lie on CNN about his net worth. He flat out LIED. Not a half-truth or a white lie. He basically said a “the moon is made of cheese” lie. And he had to correct the record later. Are you really gonna trust a known and documented liar? Do you trust Rush when he lies? Why didn’t Moore just reveal his net worth if it’s not $50 million?

    First of all you have dishonestly changed what i said.  I said there were conservatives defending the judge.  I DID NOT SAY ALL.  Please try harder to be more honest.

    Guess you didn’t read my response to you over there, did you?  It was that you probably thought I wouldn’t go back to the thread when you called me a liar.  You stated that not one single conservative defended the judge and attacked the daughter.  You were wrong.  I did go back and found 4 known conservatives who did just that in the first 25 posts alone.  Checked it again today and you should see the new crop of conservatives siding with the father and saying the most vile things about the daughter.  Unlike you, I don’t say something unless there is evidence to back it up.  

    Go check and then you can come back to me with an apology.

    Wow! that’s so awesome dude…..  Anybody, who has looked at the Federal budget knows this has to happen…  but it won’t come easy there Skippy because if there are no real spending cuts, something that is just unthinkable to “Cowboy Poet and Pomegranate Tree loving Harry I have never met a dollar that I am not willing to spend Reid” then there won’t be any tax increases.  So don’t get your hopes up too high there because taxes without significant and real spending cuts will be career ending for any republican who votes yes on such measures.

    First off you don’t know a damn thing about me or how it is that I draw the conclusions that I do, or for that matter what politicians I support.  Secondly if socialist is such a bad word why is it that your hero has chosen that word to describe himself?

    “Sanders is a self-described democratic socialist,[1][2] and has praised European social democracy. He is the first person elected to the U.S. Senate to identify as a socialist”

    Socialism maybe is something that you support, why should you be embarrassed about that, it is quite apparent that we have many socialist here in this country and why would you not want to publicly discuss the merits of your belief system.  I however am not a socialist and have little interest in the likes of Van Jones or Bernie Sanders nor do I believe that they represent my best interests or the best interests of my family. They may believe wholeheartedly in what they are fighting for, I believe them to be misguided.

    Did congress not pass laws that would penalize the banks for not meeting quotas in making these loans, did the democratic leadership not block all efforts to investigate and regulate Fanny and Freddy?  Just where does the video go wrong…  If you can’t bring the facts, as the video offered then you are the one lying.  There is noting new or revealing in the video, it just puts the facts together very well into a tight little package.

    Let me me put it this way. He is a white man talking in a disrespectful way to a black man. The black man is a reporter asking him a question and using the only figure he has at his disposal since Moore will not disclose his net worth, and has lied about it in the past. He has also lied about his investments… but I digress.
    Now… in the past many accusations have been made toward conservative (or just white) people who act in a similar manner toward a person of color.

    ie… http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/sports/Bryant-Gumbel-Calls-NBA-Commish-Plantation-Overseer-132129268.html

    Now in this case you have a black man using the plantation card against a white man for NO reason. The NBA players are demanding a 53% take of NBA money. That’s right 53%. Not 50%-50%… but 53%. Now David Stern is white and the majority of the NBA is black. In no way has Stern been as disrespectful as Moore was to the reporter… but look what happened. Gumbel uses the race card to his political advantage for leverage. Are you starting to see some of the posters points here?

    PS… Stern is also Jewish which makes Gumbels accusation a little more uncomfortable for some.

    Poor MM:


    In a guest op-ed for The Hollywood Reporter, Gavin Polone, the producer behind such films and shows as “Zombieland,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “Gilmore Girls,” calls Moore the leading “phony” of those in the entertainment industry who “claim to be liberal, caring, green and unaffected by their wealth and fame but in reality are just as self-centered and addicted to their huge, over-air-conditioned living spaces and private planes as those at whom they point their fingers.”

    Polone points to Moore receiving funding for his various films from the Weinstein brothers, including 2007′s “Sicko,” which was financed through a Weinstein Company fund set up by Goldman Sachs. Moore also received financing for “Fahrenheit 9/11″ from the Weinsteins, who took on the film after Disney refused to release it through their Miramax banner.

    Sure, sweetpea. Like I said, you convict conservatives on the flimsiest evidence available. DID YOU MISS THAT? I was waiting for an idiot like to to “respond”. Way to go, idiot. Here is some more evidence. Notice the last paragraph. Pretty damning, but only for a conservative, sweetpea. We ALL have your number.

    Kansas law prohibits abortions after the beginning of fetal
    viability, which is generally midway through the second trimester,
    unless two doctors certify that continuing the pregnancy would cause the
    woman “substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily
    function.”
    The two consulting doctors must not be “financially affiliated” with
    the doctor doing the abortion. Tiller went on trial in March 2009,
    charged with 19 misdemeanors for allegedly consulting a second physician in late-term abortion cases who was not truly “unaffiliated”.

    The case became a cause célèbre for both supporters and opponents of abortion. Columnist Jack Cashill compared the trial to the Nuremberg Trials of Nazi war criminals, while New York University Professor Jacob Appel described Tiller as “a genuine hero who ranks alongside Susan B. Anthony and Martin Luther King Jr. in the pantheon of defenders of human liberty.”

    On March 27, 2009, the jury found Tiller not guilty
    on all charges. However, the Kansas Board of Healing Arts continued to
    investigate charges of ethical violations that mirrored the prosecutors’
    criminal allegations.

    Stephen Maxwell, one of top assistants in both the Kansas attorney
    general’s office and later the Johnson County District Attorney’s
    office, was later accused of mishandling the case. The complaints
    against him include: allowing his underling to commit perjury, copying
    patients’ records and failing to report their location to the court, and
    failure to report a court opinion that didn’t support contention for a
    subpoena.

    Again, aren’t you liberal idiots always using any evidence you can to find those you disagree with guilty?

    You have bought so fully into the democratic lie….  The fact is that irresponsible governance has resulted in the layoff’s of teachers, firefighters, and police officers, not republican hate.  Pension programs that allow public sector workers to retire in their 40′s with up to six figure incomes and then re-up for a double dip is what is threatening the jobs of these teachers, firefighters and police officers not the republicans so get it straight, this is happening all over the country.  Why do you lie, why are you so dishonest? How much graft and give away do you want to support, how much do you want the government to take from your neighbors so that public employees can retire before truly arriving at middle age and live well off the property taxes of seniors just trying to get by on their fixed incomes?  

    “Don’t let anyone tell you the American dream has faded. the truth is the U.S. is still minting lots of millionaires.

    Glenn Goss is one of them.Goss retired four years ago, at 42, from a $90,000 job as a police commander in Delray Beach, Fla. He immediately began drawing a $65,000 annual pension that is guaranteed for life, is indexed to keep up with inflation and comes with full health benefits.

    Goss promptly took a new job as police chief in nearby Highland Beach. One big lure: the benefits

    “http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2009/0216/078.html

    “I have a special word for my fellow Democrats,” Crane told a public hearing. “One cannot both be a progressive and be opposed to pension reform.” The budgetary math is irrefutable: generous pensions end up draining money from schools, social services and other programs that progressives naturally applaud.

    The top 1% of income earners in 2010 began at just @ $345,000. So at $50 Million, Michael Moore is by far one of the richest men in America. And he uses the money he earns to invest in the very corporations he claims to hate in order to become even richer. And yet he claims to be a man of the people and claims that he wants his taxes raised. If he really wanted to help “the people” he would pay more to the government or donate more money to charity, but he doesn’t. He’s just another limousine liberal who talks a big game. And the sheep fall for it and run out to go see his movies. Wake up, you’ve been had.

    Moore makes his money off people who go to see his monies, just like any movies studio.  I also doubt you have ever seen his movies or know anything about them except what Fox has told you told.  For example, can you tell me who “Roger” was in one of his movie and what is occupation was?  I’ll wait for you to research it.

    Damned right.  The first thing Bush2 did was get the estate tax repealed and take $70B in tax off the backs of the rich and put it on the middle class.  Then he went out and fought a massive war that was never paid for.  Then Obama kept the thing going with the stimulus– which was necessary.  We have a wheel in the ditch now for sure, and blame really doesn’t matter.  People are so damned desperate they want to support people like Cain and Palin, who in normal times would not be serious candidates.

    IIn my opinion, Michael Moore is not handling these questions well. He should just come clean nd stop hedging. He isnot being accused of sexual harassment or any other crime. He is a member f the 1%, and just like Warren Buffet, he thinks the 1% are taxed too little.

    I have not read any of his books, but Moore does sem to have a deeper problem here, and it is with capitalism. He is unwittingly taking the far-right propagandathat capitalism must be free in order to b capitalism. Managed capitalism is not”socialism — the opposite ofcapitlism , it is just manged capitalism . This is the only economic system is operation today. Everyone has it. There isnofree, untaxed, unmamnaged capitalism anywere even inits closest approximations, organized crime nd filed countries likeSomalia.

    Here’s my wish:

    Michael Moore, the slovenly schlockumentarian, goes on a march to support both OWS and Obama for Dictator 2012. While marching, Moore suffers a massive stroke, but he is surrounded by his incredibly stupid and loathsome followers who don’t have a clue what to do to save him, and Moore, the bloated whale that he is, dies right there on the street.

    Now I would pay to see that. Mucho moolah. I definitely would like to see him get his comeuppance, this vile Jabba the Hutt-impersonating Schlub.

    I am certainly not against public pension reforms.  Most of the public unions have been willing to make cuts… just not give up their collective bargaining.  But think about this.  Why would you not be even more angry at the billions of our tax money paying for this corporate welfare.  Why don’t you get just as angry with these corporations who don’t pay any taxes and yet still get refunds:  http://ctj.org/ctjreports/2011/11/corporate_taxpayers_corporate_tax_dodgers_2008-2010.php 

    The fact is the rich is getting richer and the middle class is declining, poverty is growing, kids are graduating from college heavy in debt with little prospect for jobs… one of the big reasons of occupy Wall Street.  Corporate money has taken over our government and the majority of the Supreme Court (Citizens United ruling).  The Republican Party is a wholly owned subsidy of the wealthy right wingers.  The Republican do nothing but obstruct only to see this president fail.  What do they offer?  The Paul Ryan bill?  That would only further take this country in the direction it has been going for the past 30 years.

    Why is it that these corporations are not paying taxes, is it their fault or is it the fault of the government who has written the tax laws?  You cite the Citizen’s United case…  Really, all the ills of our government have occurred since that law was upheld in the supreme court last year? Really? Even after that ruling the president will out raise the republicans by a long shot so how has that ruling destroyed our democracy..

    Look, I am probably more frustrated than you with much of what you are complaining about but you blame the wrong criminals…  plain and simple, it is the government that writes the laws…  it is the government that sets the playing field and the rules that the game is played by.  If you see how screwed up things are then it is time to change the government…  Personally I would think twice before buying a GE product, or a GM car for that matter, but I can tell you that I am not going to waste energy walking up and down the streets in front of their corporate offices…  I will however vote against the politician who has been lying to me for 20 years and do what I can to not send him back to DC…  Hey, I don’t necessarily agree with the stance that the Tea Party has against raising taxes, but I can tell you that I have to respect the Tea Party for sending a group of politicians to DC with a clear message that if you do not keep your promises to us then you will only serve one term…  It seems that their candidates received that message loud and clear.

    You are wrong about republicans, they are no more owned by corporations than are the democrats as you are buying into the rhetoric, both parties are owned by large corporations, can you not see the special relationship that the banks the Fed, and the Treasury?  Can you not see that Obama’s new BFF is Jeffrey Immelt whose corporation paid no taxes on billions of dollars, and as Obama is saying that he wants to punish those corps who send American jobs overseas, what is his BFF doing, sending 10′s of thousands of jobs overseas…  

    How are we going to compete as a nation in the world economy?  Do you actually think that we can not cut spending and increase our taxes to a point that we can balance our budgets with out crippling our competitiveness in world markets?  Do you actually think that we can not begin to produce again, what will sustain our economy, can we be a service only economy, do you actually think that works?  Can we continue to have trade deficits that are approaching a trillion dollars year after year with no adverse effect. You guys really need to think things through.  Republicans don’t give a crap about the rich or even any particular large corporation, the fact is that many of us see these mega corporations a threat to our society and economy as they become to powerful and hinder competition and tend to gain to much influence on government and communities.  We do however believe in setting the conditions in which anyone can become something here in this country, we are not for the big guy we are for the little guy, and his having a chance to become anything that he can aspire and work to be.  

    You do realize that any growth of the government comes at the expense of the private sector don’t you?  As I pointed out to you with the pensions, the government talks a good game about all the things that they do but they show no fiduciary responsibility in how they spend taxpayers money…  they find it a waste of time to go back and clean out wast, they simply put something like an 8% growth rate on their budgets and keep going, the Senate no longer sees fit to write a budget, they just let the automatic increase serve as a budget.  

    You really need to stop blaming conservatives for all your issues and take a hard look at your elected officials, they lie to us from both sides and none of them want us to really understand just what it is that they are up to.

    Shocker: Michael Moore is rich and doesn´t disclose to reporter at sidewalk the exact amount of his fortune.

    I don´t get the obsession about Moore though. He´s not running for any office. He isn´t more than a prominent supporter of OWS. That´s it. The obvious irony is that OWS refused to follow a person while the media desperately seeks to personify the issue because politics in the media is portrayed as personal conflict mostly.

  • Walt

    I just want to leave you with a couple of thoughts.

    Rick Scott.  Really?  Why don’t you do a little research on him?

    There are two types of rich.  One who thinks they deserve it because its about them.  And one who is thankful for having the opportunity or for being lucky.  Follow the money.

    I trust the politician who side more progressively.  From the actions I have seen in my adulthood, I have seen Republicans taking us backward which is the antithesis of progressivism which is to move ahead as new enlightenments are made.  I believe that is called maturing.

  • Bob

    apparently, you didn’t see Rush’s Jabba-esque appearance at CPAC.

  • Stand Together

    It’s true,  Democrats and Republicans are the same.  The Republicans are 100% bought out by corporations and Democrats are 80% bought out.  What happened when they tried to get healthcare with a public options that would have saved billions of dollars?  They had the votes to do what they wanted right?  Well, corporate lobbyists infiltrated the Democrats and then you had them doing a 180 on you.  They sided with Corporations and you basically got nothing except made it Law for certain people to have healthcare if you make over a certain amount and pay fines if you don’t and those who work for companies who provide healthcare packages to there employees, have to pay taxes on top of that. 

    So you see, It doesn’t really matter,  Republicans sell you out at a faster pace than Democrats, and that’s basically the only difference between the 2 parties.

    The United States is Under a Corporate Dictatorship and that’s the long and the short of it.

    We can whine and moan about some guy that has a pension that gives him a living wage when he retires after working for 25 years plus, or we can whine and moan about corporations that don’t pay billions in taxes and get tax holidays when they keep there billions in overseas tax havens and bring it back over at 5% tax.

    I own a business also and I’m in the upper 5% but I like my taxes going to paying for police, firefighters, nurses, postal workers, teachers and infrastructure.  I buy union and support my local workforce I don’t shop at Wallmart but shop at Cosco (union)  because, well, they support me.

    What I’m saying here, If you don’t have a middle class, you don’t have capitalism (at least they way we use to know it)  and that’s because there is no money to spare and that means no money to spend and that means my business collapses.

    We can argue all day about things we don’t like about our current system or we can put aside our differences and protest the things we want to change.  There’s a movement right outside your door, why don’t you join it? I have.

    Remember, Together We Stand and Divided We Fall.

    Their goal is to divide us so we are weak and powerless and if we all took to the streets and demanded justice and sent a message to the corporations and our government who signs these ridiculous laws into place, send them the message we are not going to take it any longer and demand the changes we need lets handcuff Wall Street and put the Banksters behind bars and give our politicians the pink slip, fire them with no pensions, let the corporations pay for there pensions because they were never working for us in the first place.

Michael Moore, Stephen King and other wealthy people around the country and around the world are saying that they are willing to pay more in taxes. Listen to what Michael is saying: “I want to know why I am not paying more.” Stephen King came out in WI and said the same thing. Let’s not lose sight of what this movement is really about. The so called reporters will blur the message without any of our misguided angst. United we occupy devided the Wall Street media wins.

    Michael Moore may reinvest earnings to make more movies (just like American small business owners); but the questions he will not answer are: What percentage of his movie earnings does he keep?  What is his net worth?  Does he invest in the stock market?  How much does he pay in taxes?  If he feels that he should pay a higher tax rate, will he make a donation to the IRS and prove that he did so?  Lieberals such as Michael Moore, Bono, Bill Maher, and a majority of lieberal Hollywood elites are hypocrits of the worst kind.

    This is a reply to doublellnfl on his comment towards Stand Together.  Wow you are exactly what the one percent want, you are lost and looking at your profile I only see you listen to fox news and all ring wing BS.  So let me guess who you rely are.  You are that small percentile that worship those above you and absolutely hate those below you.You are one of those who say, “THE RICH ARE THE ONES WHO GIVE US THE JOBS”  and you beleave that myfriend you are truly and utterly an idiot.Let me go further here,  You are of middle age making you the most welfared generation in American history also you make about 30 and 40 thousand dollars a year and drape yourself in the flag and belong to some sort of right wing christian religion and belong to the tea party. You love war.. You love it! as long as you don’t have to fight in one yourself of course. Can’t stand unions because they make over 10 dollars and hour and have what is called a living wage.  You own guns and hate people of other races and creeds.I’m pretty sure I hit about 85% of what your are.  Even if you come back screaming reply that say I don’t know what I talking about it you know the above describes who really are deep down.I’ve got news for you my little friend, YOU HAVE BEEN MADE IRRELEVANT.  Your type of views don’t solve any of the problems this countries face, you only stand to make things worse and not better.  So you go ahead and stand on the wrong side of history.  Oh yeah, Jesus was a Liberal, he hung out with hookers, the sick, people of different creeds he very much disliked the greedy and those who oppressed others.  If Jesus was alive today do you really think he would be on the side of the banks and corporations? People like you would have him locked up and declared a traitor to your so called way of life.So keep watching fox news and listening to Rush Limbaugh and I’m pretty sure you life will get so much better.And Remember……The right wind always loves those who vote to cut their own throat :)And to Stand Together, Well put brother.  Your the type of person who makes this country great!  Don’t listen to people like doublellnfl these guys only lick the ballz of the 1% and loves shipping our jobs over to China. 

    Great to see people are AWAKE these days.

    Telling, perhaps: rather than respond with a quip like “You can’t handle the truth,” Mikey Mooroon goes _ad hominem_ & gets physical. Maybe *he* can’t handle the truth!

    To him we could say: Bully. You’re a punk millionaire is all you are.

    Your orangutan brain must not be able to comprehend irony.

    Seriously?? NO ONE is angry because people are WEALTHY; they are angry about the banks that play games with OUR money and with the corporations and wealthy people paying less than their share (or nothing at all, in some cases!!) Is this seriously a difficult concept?

    And… “Michael Moore wasn’t too happy about the reporters asking him the questions…” Yeah, because they weren’t asking real questions; they were just harassing him in a jerk attempt to discredit him. They wanted their soundbyte and they got it. Go Mike! Thanks for sticking by us!!

    Michael Moore/ in an unprovoced attempt to silence the truth shamelessly assulted this reporter and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.  This is what Michael would be demanding if this reporter had done this to him.

    And to all those millionaires who believe in higher taxes, I say, “Go for it!”  Feel free to send the IRS an extra few million – just keep your hands out of my pockets!

    The survey about millionaires wanting more taxes on millionaires  isn’t really that.  It’s a survey of people with a million or more in investments (financial wealth), asking whether people with INCOME of a million or more should pay higher taxes.  Most of those people do not have a million dollars of income, or even close.  The same survey asked about tax hikes on people making 250k per year, and only 45% approved of the idea.  Almost as many (41%) support Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 plan.  To put it in perspective, 0.2% of households have incomes of a million or more, 2% (20 times as many) have incomes of 250k or more, but 9% (45 times as many) of households are millionaires.  The casual equating of income, net worth, and financial wealth by politicians and media badly muddies the tax-the-rich debate.  Increasing taxes on people earning over a million dollars would do little, because there aren’t many of them.  Also, most of them pay much higher taxes than Warren Buffet.  His taxes are so low because his compensation is based on the performance of his hedge fund, and there is a loophole for hedge fund managers (which should be closed) that treats that income as capital gains, even though it’s really payment for services.  The average household earning a million or more pays about 29% in taxes – higher than Warren Buffet’s secretary.

    I accidentally found your response this evening while reviewing my old comments. The funny thing about it is that Disqus reported your response no.# 355999697 as to yourself, but in the message string it showed as though it were in response to me. I never received a notice in my Disqus dashboard that you replied. However, my initial sarcastic response, that you need reading classes still stands because you require that I explain this to you in such a elementary way.

    So, here we go…

    The reason that Touré’s insane mf cousin Phd comment showed irony is because the left, the libs, the liberals, the dems, the democrats who love him have not condemned Michael Moore for calling a black man a “punk” and a “liar” and subsequently labeling him as racist.
    The similarity between the comment I made about “only Nixon could go to China” as comparably ironic is because it was a political reality that no one else except Nixon could have gone to China without severe reproach from his party for doing so. The analogy is in the lack of criticism, by the left, of Michael Moore, when they, the left, would have criticized any conservative for saying the same things.
    I apologize for making you wait two weeks for a response. However, since Disqus recorded your comment to me as a response to yourself I must be suspicious that you may have been trying to get the last word by nefarious posting tactics. In other words, I am suspicious that you may have tried to hide your response from me so the message thread would appear as though I did not respond to a refutation to my original premise.
    If this is not the case, I apologize in advance. However, if it was intentional, you’ll need to be far more shrewd than daft to get one over on me as such.
    In the meantime, your request of me to “show me a similar example of this from the left and we’ll do a comparison together” makes no sense. What exactly do you want me to show about the left that isn’t already shown in this exact example. In fact, I use a comparison to the right, the Nixon example, to show where there is something someone did on the right that is comparable to that of something the left did – or did not do – in this case. Michael Moore’s rant would have been condemned by the left, and the left-wing media, if he was a conservative.
    I trust this explanation is sufficiently simple and plain. If you require additional examples, definitions, or cohesive demonstrations I can carry this out as far as necessary.

    Moore’s alright.  Better than your hero Grover Norquist.  The douchebag reporter didn’t substantiate his $50M claim, either face-to-face or in the live throw, so Moore wins this one.
