Michael Moore Tells Wealthy Their Money Is ‘A National Resource, That’s Ours’

Video
» 182 comments

Liberal activist and filmmaker Michael Moore sure knows how to stir the pot. Yesterday in response to interviewer Laura Flanders asking Moore what should Republican Governor Walker do to address the state of Wisconsin’s budget deficit, Moore didn’t hold back with what he thought should be a simple solution: it’s time to share the wealth.

Moore elaborated on how he believes wealthy people and corporations are the real roadblocks for economic recovery:

“We’re not broke. This country is not broke. The state of Wisconsin is not broke. There’s a ton of cash in this country. . . . What’s happened is is that we’ve allowed a vast majority of that cash to be concentrated in the hands of just a few people. . . . They’re sitting on the money, they’re using it for their own – they’re putting it someplace else, they have 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. . . . 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 that we own, that we collectively own as Americans and you can’t just steal our jobs and take them someplace else.”

Moore also urged liberals to quit whining about the current state of the Democratic party and instead said anyone discouraged should run for office. Although with his consistent and passionate willingness to rail against the excesses of capitalism, it’s unclear if any Democratic candidate could possibly satisfy Moore.

    Good thing Mr. Moore just announced a million-dollar lawsuit against the Weinsteins, in order to get some of our, er, uh, his money back.

  • Republitarian

    Michael Moore, with a single, curt sentence, fully validates every conservative stereotype of liberalism. Yes America, liberals think that it’s their money, all of it. And, whatever money they let you keep, should sate you because, after all, you’re just a greedy, evil capitalist.

    Michael Moore, thank you. Rush Limbaugh could not caricature liberalism any better than you have caricatured it yourself.

    I guess it is a good story to make up stuff about Michael Moore, but that is okay I am sure he is used to it.
    The money he is talking about is the money that was given to the banks during TARP not to mention the billions that have been injected into the banks with QE, QE2, and QE3. I know the average Mediaite viewer (at least the people that post comments) are uninformed and don’t really know what is going on. But come on Mediaite.

    I dont understand why you need proof, go back and listen to the interview. Do you not agree that the banks were given billions of dollars during TARP and many more billions after that from quantitative easing? Do you even know what quantitative easing is? Go read about it and get pissed, the treasury printed billions of dollars out of thin air to give to the banks without the public really knowing about it, people got rightfully pissed at TARP but if they knew about QE they would be in the streets.

    Feel free to defend corporate welfare, I choose not to.

    Yes it is a natural resource that money belongs to everyone and was injected into the banks in order to produce capital, which the banks sat on and gave out huge bonuses. I know teabaggers don’t care about what Wall Street does and defends corporate socialism all the time. But honestly if you people were getting mad at the right people you would have a lot of support, right now the tea party is marginal and generates a lot of publicity but their numbers are small.

    I bet Michigan wants their subsidy money back from Michael Moore also, he git huges subsidies to film there.
    Of course, with a personal net worth of only around $50 million, he wouldn’t be considered one of those “hoarding and sitting” on the money??

    I didn’t support Bu$h’s bailout with TARP and I didn’t support President “57-states” obama’$ Wall Street bailout or GM bailout. I don’t support such walfare, like I don’t support other forms of welfare.

    But Moore specifically mentions individuals, and individuals didn’t get bailed by the government. He’s basically spewing the same crap that Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels spewed in the early 19th century. He might as well have been talking about the bourgeoisie oppressing the proletariat.

  • turk281

    Michael Moore had up to 42% of “Capitalism: A Love Story” subsidized by Michigan taxpayers.

    A true scumbag. Michigan is one of the hardest hit states in this recession and Mirimax, is owned by Disney. Oh, and by the way, he sits on the board that approves which films will receive money. And most of the movie was filmed in NY.

    It doesn’t get lower than Moore.

    What will you guys say when your Tea Party plan fails? When our country continues to get worse because of people like Scott Walker and the GOP in Congress?

    It’s not Obama doing this stuff anymore, Obama can barely get stuff passed because of Republican house majority.. Republicans are now running us into the ground, while giving rich people the scraps, wake up you idiots. Obama and Michelle are the problem? No, you’re being distracted, Obama wants poor people to have healthcare and a decent wage. What the **** do YOU want if you disagree with Obama? Only the lucky to be able to have money and work? Seems like it. The way conservatives view the world, they only want the richest people enjoying their lives.. screw anyone that doesn’t make over 50,000 a year.

    @ Snowspot,

    I’m sorry to break it to you but you are aware that there are more than two different kinds of people correct. The majority of US citizens are middle-class. If people are hard workers, smart and achievers and are able to make money I’m going to congratulate them on their success. I’m not jealous, it just makes me want to worker harder, and attempt to reach my own success, not attack others that are successful.

    Just look at your messiah, Obama. He has a great story. He grew up with plenty of disadvantages, and over came those disadvantages. No on handed him anything. While I don’t care for politics I like his story. His story is that hard work pays off, not attack those that worked hard or got lucky.

    When you start taking from individuals by threat of prison or at the end of a gun in the name of wealth redistribution you are stomping on individual rights.

    You are forgetting about one of the largest tax cuts for the rich…brought to you by JFK. He lowered the top rate by 20%.

    And to quote JFK:
    “Our true choice is not between tax reduction, on the one hand, and the avoidance of large Federal deficits on the other. It is increasingly clear that no matter what party is in power, so long as our national security needs keep rising, an economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough revenues to balance our budget just as it will never produce enough jobs or enough profits… In short, it is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now.”

He lowered the top rate by 20%. And to quote JFK:“Our true choice is not between tax reduction, on the one hand, and the avoidance of large Federal deficits on the other. It is increasingly clear that no matter what party is in power, so long as our national security needs keep rising, an economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough revenues to balance our budget just as it will never produce enough jobs or enough profits… In short, it is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now.”

    Well, ok. Let’s bring the rates back to JFK era.

They will simply just spend more money on more useless programs or more decade long wars.

    Or Abraham Lincoln’s era: “The progress by which the poor, honest, industrious and resolute man raises himself, that he may work on his own account and hire somebody else … is the great principle for which this government was really formed,” he said. He went on to say:

    I don’t believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich; it would do more harm than good. So while we do not propose any war upon capital, we do wish to allow the humblest man an equal chance to get rich with everybody else. …. I want every man to have the chance — and I believe a black man is entitled to it — in which he can better his condition — when he may look forward and hope to be a hired laborer this year and the next, work for himself afterward, and finally to hire men to work for him! That is the true system.

    @ Snowspot,

    No offense, but you might want to educate yourself a little more. Many of us here are not republicans, I sure the hell am not. Nor an I old. Me, like many others here, hold views that could be considered Libertarian.
    We believe that individual liberty, and freedom.

    I’m no social conservative. If gay people want to get married, I don’t care – nor do i care if polygamy is legal. Free and private adults should be able to do what they want.
    Also, I think pot should be legal for adults, although I won’t smoke it. Free people should be able to smoke what they want, as long as I don’t have to pay their medical bills or for their welfare since they lose their motivation.
    Many of us think the government should stay out of our lives, just as you think the govt should stay out of your bong or your bedroom.
    Stay out of my wallet, stop bailing out Wall Street, and car companies.
    Stop decade long wars.
    Stop giving my tax dollars to foreign countries, and corrupt international organizations.
    We believe that the government should be able to live within its means by only spending the money it takes.

    In short Sunspot, we might has more in common than you think.

    Michael Moore took advantage of a Michigan tax break to fund the making of his film Capitalism – A love Story – which raked in millions. Also, there’s a book called Do as I Say (Not as I Do) which details Moore’s stock holdings and use of a foundation to avoid taxes. So he claims other people’s money doesn’t belong to them, while he goes to great lengths to avoid paying taxes.

You’re the partisan ones, lol. I’d compromise with Republicans, it’s your side that wont compromise and then just complains when it doesn’t get it’s way. Just 24/7 bitching, it should be called the FoX Bitches network.. cause all their shows are just people complaining about how bad America is.

    Are you saying that since he has a lot of money, he should not want people to get a fair share?

    You have a seriously warped sense of people, if you think that all rich people want to be selfish and were never poor before.

    Moore didn’t always used to be a millionaire, he worked his way up… which is becoming harder and harder because of Republicans and their idea that corporations have more worth than people (even if the people are the only things keeping corporations going).

    I’m sure that Moore is the only rich person who has earned his money. We should take it from those others. Now who decides who the others are?

    That has no bearing here because we’ve been given numerous tax advantages and still jobs are going overseas. Bottom line; companies are going to search for the cheapest labor available.

    Yep, just like you shop for the best price on what ever you buy.

    I got a call today from an IT company in eastern Oregon. Its being put together by several tribes in the area and employ mostly members of the tribal congolomerate but look for talent from the outside also. They said they were trying to compete with off-shore IT companies so they could only pay about half of what I make now and wouldn’t be able to pay any of my relocation expenses.

    I have two questions for you: 1. would you take the job, with the cut in pay, cause its a good cause, and 2. do you know anyone in IT who is thinking about retiring and going to eastern Oregon to live.

    If you wouldn’t take the cut in pay to take this job why should a company be expected to take cuts in profits to not leave a high tax/high salary area that requires that work forces belong to unions?

    Wrong, Moore got rich telling you fish exactly what you wanted to hear. Think about it, moore makes a propaganda film like sicko, you spend you’re hard earned money to see it, The film lie’s to you by saying something rediculous like cuba has a better healthcare system, And because you, as a “liberal”, who can’t think for himself, Eat’s it up with out question. I have to ask, do you really think MM really cares about you or anybody els?, Do you really think he is fighting for the little guy? I think if he really cared for the people he would donate at least 98% of his total wealth, And untill he does so i will continue to belive he is full of sh!t and you are nothing more than a sucker not worthy of anyone’s time.

    This is some good stuff from Michael Moorebidley Obese. The guy takes in more daily calories than the population of Somalia combined and he’s lecturing people about sharing wealth. How about we offer up Michael Moore for the starving people in the third world? They could live off of that portly douche for at least a year and we wouldn’t have to listen to him again. That’s what we call at Harvard Business school a “no brainer’.

    Bil O’Reilly has frequently railed on Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Sean Penn, etc. Here is just a few examples. There are plenty more. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,248593,00.htmlhttp://www.billoreilly.com/column?pid=23227http://www.celebitchy.com/43745/bill_oreilly_thinks_sean_penn_gives_aid_comfort_to_madmen_despots/

    You do notice the difference in criticizing a celebrity for WHAT they say, and not THAT they said it… right?

    I recall him praising Renee Zellweger specifically for backing out of giving her opinion when someone asked her about the war.

    I don’t recall that… however, there is an argument o me made when someone in Hollywood stands out from the norm, and pushes a right-wing line. It’s so abnormal, it can be seen as courageous, especially since some have told stories of getting blacklisted for not staying in line. But without seeing the story, it’s tough to comment further.

    The crux of the argument is frequently that as Hollywood types they don’t know what they’re talking about. Now, as for the expertise of these celebrities versus any TV talking head, I don’t see the difference as being that great. Keith Olbermann was an ESPN jockey. Bill O’Reilly did a celebrity gossip show.

    Just a quick note about O’Reilly and the “gossip show.” If you research back to his time at “Inside Edition” (as I have had to do a million and one times for questions on sites like this), he was with the show BEFORE it turned tabloid. At that time, they were doing long format journalism… like “20/20,” or “Dateline.” It only became a tabloid show like “A Current Affair” after he left.

    Matt Damon, as a college dropout, has just as much education as Glenn Beck. So by talking heads being paid to talk about it they are assumed to have more expertise than those who choose to be active on their own?

    The requirements of a journalist, even an opinion journalist, even a sports journalist, even a radio guy, are different than that of an actor. Yes, they have a different set of skills, which makes their criticism and ability to comprehend complex issues more valid on issue of national and international importance.

    Yes, both Beck and Damon don’t have college degrees… and perhaps that’s reason not to listen to either of them. But I don’t really hear that coming from the Hollywood crowds, who promote Damon and attack Beck… and visa versa. The question is, “What experience do these guys have to give their opinion to a wide public audience?” If you feel the answer is insufficient, don’t watch or don’t care. That’s how I see it.

    I’m not that concerned what Matt Damon thinks, either. I find it interesting, however, that people will gleefully bash a celebrity’s opinion while at the same time literally adopting the opinion of someone else who is literally doing the same thing. Their opinion, however, is more credible because they have a show named after them?

    I’d think that the person who does that particular show daily, who is forced to consume him or herself with news as part of their job, is more informed than the guy who reads a few books while on the flight between his latest movie set, and the beach.

    Wait, so he’s fat?

    That’s all I remember from your post… and lucky for Michael Moore, him being a little overweight doesn’t really effect my point of view of him. I hope you realize someday that reducing yourself to calling him fat doesn’t really make your argument any stronger.

    I honestly was enthralled with one of Michael Moore’s earlier movies, Roger Rabbit, I saw it years ago. In a documentary serio comic style, Michael Moore was for me a brilliant and uniquely gifted film maker. To this day I can remember many scenes from that movie such as the time when Moore attempts in vain to go up to the executive suite of General Motors in Detroit. There is a problem I see especially in the transcript of Moore talking about spreading the wealth. Specifically Moore has trouble separating his satirical expose mind from his political pundit lectures. That is why I suggest he sticks to the movies. In a benevolent gesture I would remind Moore that he has not lost any weight since Roger Rabbit. Because this is very unhealthy, our country suffers greatly from this problem, Michael Moore should spend much time going on a healthy diet and exercise program.

    Quote: “Yesterday in response to interviewer Laura Flanders asking Moore what should Republican Governor Walker do to address the state of Wisconsin’s budget deficit, Moore didn’t hold back…”

    In other news, when someone with more than half a brain was asked what he would do if he was having a coffee at a sidewalk cafe and saw Michael Moore lying in the street after being struck by a car, he responded that he was call the waiter over and ask for a refill.
