Michael Moore Warns: OWS Is Not Concerned With Candidates Or Voting To Make Change

video
» 217 comments

On Anderson Cooper‘s show tonight, documentarian Michael Moore declared that “the wind and the snow is not going to stop the collective anger” of the Occupy Wall Street protestors, and they would continue to speak out against the financial industry into the winter season. If anything, the cold weather will only strengthen their resolve, he claimed.

Moore expressed hope that the sheer numbers of the movement would outweigh the influence of several hundred billionaires with more combined wealth than half of the country. However, what Cooper wanted to know was whether Occupy Wall Street would take the same steps the Tea Party did and actually become a potent political force in upcoming elections.

“This movement is so beyond just, hey, let’s get behind this candidate, get them elected to office. Those days are over. You know, we’ve all worked for candidates. We’ve all voted. We’ve all participated. And what have we gotten out of it? We’ve all written to our Congressmen and women, please pass House bill number 3428. What did we get? Where are we? We’re in the worst shape we have been in this country that I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. And, and so, this movement is not right now concerned with candidates or specific bills in Congress.”

Moore also responded to Peter Schiff‘s comments that big government was more to blame than capitalism for the financial crisis, explaining that “the congressmen and the senators are the employees of Wall Street.”

    Uh Oh! Our wingnut friends are gonna hate the fact that Moore has maanged to speak for the OWS movement! But this is a good thing. Moore has done so much for this country and its good to see him as one of the 1% kick in with the OWS protesters. This is a man who walks the walks. Good for you bud. Keep these people on track.

  • Rufus Danegro

    And by the way GO CARDS! NO VICTORY FOR TEXAS, BUSH, OR THE RANGERS!

    Michael, since you are a 1%er, you should spend some of them million$ on one of them diet bootcamps that will run your sorry fat rumpus into the ground and get you healthy. Right now you are a walking heart attack. And even though you are a far left extremist, I would not wish a heart attack on anyone, including you. Seriously, forget politics for now and get in shape.

    Since Michael Moore has such disdain for Capitalism, why doesn’t he help these poor OWS protesters out with some cash? Instead of constantly running his motor mouth, why not do something to make a difference? This is only my opinion, but I believe most of these wealthy liberals are scared that the OWS protesters may come after them next, therefore, the public support is shown in hopes of damage control. Will it work with the OWS crowds? Maybe, maybe not. The wealthy bashing the wealthy. LOL.

  • Michelle

    And then he will sue because he didn’t get enough money, like he’s doing now.  Yep, he really walks the walk.  Hey Michael, if you think you should be paying more taxes, no one is stopping you but your own hypocritical self.

    Time to keep Donuts Moore away from the mic and the cameras.

    There is a very thin line that unshaven pig is walking, and I don’t want to be on the side he will fall and splatter.

    So here we have a pretty solidly racial comment because these guys look no different than almost any young black men I know (unless you’re referring to that scary looking frat-boyish guy). I can’t wait for the GOPers on this site now to cry “OMG race card!!! Lib played a race card!!!” The truth is most of the GOP’s base is made up of older white people who mostly stick to people who look like them and think anyone who dresses differently is a thug or hippie or lazy, etc. 

  • Stinnywilsy

    Michael Moore is too much of a fat ass to lead such an important movement. Don’t believe me – just ask Eugene Robinson; http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/chris-christies-big-problem/2011/09/29/gIQAAL7J8K_story.html

    Also – all these Jack Asses do is bitch and loiter and moan about how the 1%ers are destroying the USA. So logically, their fat ass spokesman is at the extreme top end of the 1%ers with a conservative net worth of $50Mil+. He acquired all of that wealth via good old fashioned USA capitalism. Please show me Michael Moore’s doule wide tent. No hysterical hypocrisy here Anderson – way to keep em honest. OWS = pure comedy relief

    You’re missing the point. He’s not bashing capitalism per se. He’s bashing crony capitalism, something everyone should be against. No one at OWS is arguing that the Democrats don’t have their share in this. There are crooks on both sides of the aisle, and not everything is a partisan issue. 

    Of course, if you look at which party takes the most money from Wall Street, it’s the GOP. I’m sure some Repubs on this site will now deflect and point out stats about Obama or something else, but it’s undeniable that the bankers who screwed up the economy in the 2008 are closer to the GOP. Coincidentally, the GOP is the party always talking about scaling back the rules for Wall Street.

  • Mencius

    Do you even comprehend what it means to be in the top 1 percent? You’re not just making 500K here or there, or even 10 million every few years. Those guys are lower class to the top 1 percent. They are rich by most standards–wildly rich–but poor compared to the top 1 percent. That’s why you get idiots saying that raising taxes on people who make over $1 million per year will make them poor. That’s how they think because they understand that’s how the richest in this country think, whereas most honest, hardworking people in this country dream of getting to something more like 75K per year, and usually fall far short, according to statistics. And did the wealthiest in this country get their money by merit? Occasionally, but most often by birth and using the influence of their money to game the system to the detriment of everyone else. 

    Even if Moore saved every penny he made, he wouldn’t be in the top 1 percent. 

  • Rufus Danegro

  • Morgan_Said

        OWS is well organized and coordinated with the WH. I believe the purpose of OWS is to establish credibility to being equivalent to the Tea Party. The Tea Party is not likely to get involved in the next election until the spring and summer of 2012. And when they do they will find opposition and confrontation from their equals in OWS. They will try to disrupt any uniform messages from the TP to, first- block those messages and second, change the dialogue from the economy and the failures of Obama to the contest between OWS and the Tea Party.
        As to tactics, it will be classic Union warfare, and we know where that will lead – so the popularity contest they will vote on in November will be which group has been wronged; not has Obama failed. Heaven forbid that the violence will be so bad that Obama will have to declare Marshal Law and suspend elections until things can get stabilized. Obama may finally get those elite shock troops he sought a few years ago to protect the nation against internal violence.

    I find it so funny that in the Peter Schiff post the OWS puppets all said they are for capitalism. Now in this one they have their boss progpig speaking for all of them and he’s very much for socialism. I hope that the dumb, blind animals of OWS will soon learn ( highly unlikely) that MM made his millions using capitalism. The Irony is MM uses capitalism than oinks at the top of his hamburger stuffed lungs that we should switch to socialism, a system that will not allow anybody else to become rich. In other words, the moronic prog baboons can’t see that MM is the greediest millionaire because he wants nobody else to even have the chance to make it big. He wants everybody to stay in the dirt and feed off his KFC crumbs from on high.

    From an NYT article citing TPC numbers: 

    Here are some numbers:American households right at the 99th percentile (that is, the cut-off for the top 1 percent) will earn about $506,553 in cash income this year, according to a Tax Policy Center analysis. The income curve is very steep at the high end, meaning that people just a few tenths of a percentile point above that make much, much more. A family at the 99.5th percentile, for example, makes $815,868; its neighbor at the 99.9th percentile makes more than double that, at $2,075,574 a year.The top 1 percent of American earners receive about a fifth of the country’s income, according to Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez, two economists who study inequality.But as we’ve noted before, economic inequality isn’t just about what you make each year. It’s about how much wealth you have already accumulated, too. And inequality is far, far greater when you include wealth.According to an analysis of Federal Reserve data by the Economic Policy Institute, a liberal research organization, the top 1 percent of Americans by net worth hold about a third of American wealth.The average net worth for the 99th percentile in net worth was $19,167,600 as of 2007, based on this research. The average net worth of the next 9 percent of Americans was $2,371,500.That means, of course, that the bottom 99 percent of Americans includes an awful lot of millionaires.

    Bush tax cuts allowed me to keep more of the money I invested in companies who made and sold goods, including the company I work for.  They made it possible for my wife and I to afford to adopt two children. AND they made it possible for this family of 4 to live on one income so that my wife could be at home with the children – a BIG PLUS in making sure they knew we adopted them because WE wanted to love them and care for them.

    Moore thinks democracy is a bad thing, one person one vote.  Many of us emailed our congress rep to vote AGAINST the stimulus 2 bill since we’re in debt and the first one was a huge waste and didn’t work.  

    I completely disagree.  The US democracy is the world’s best for a reason.

    Moore is a sad man who takes no personal responsibility.  He’s got plenty of money from his movies to start a business to employ people and make a real impact in improving lives.  That’s called social entrepreneurs, and it truly lifts people’s lives.  

  • Lemonlimey

    Michael Moore has a personal net worth of over 50 MILLION and rakes in a million a year in movie residuals from the wacked out left that still buy and watch his leftists propaganda movie.  

    Sometimes I think Moore is a genius sitting back at night laughing at how he raked in 50 million from the same people he is pretending to be one of.  I half expect him, in 20 years, to laugh at it all, and say it was an act, he is an actor, and an actor that knows how to get others to buy his products.

    I don’t have much respect for Moore. Bowling for Columbine convinced me he’s not an honest person, and when he spoke of truth while accepting his award for Best Documentary I yelled at my TV.

    His films make some interesting and valid points but you have to be willing to shift through them afterwards and find where he’s used editing to misrepresent the facts. His being on camera now is probably just him loving the attention. Get rid of him and find an articulate person from the group.

    Ultimately it has to be about elections, but it’s also about paying attention and oversight. Many good hard working, or hoping to work hard, Americans really spend little time knowing what their elected officials are up to. We pay very superficial attention every so often and vote to whomever says what we want to hear.
    A Democrat Republic requires some consistent involvement from it’s citizenry. IMO one of the first issues is to drastically change the way elections are financed and the operations of PACs. People can spend millions on an issue and we don’t even get to know who they are? Can’t conservatives and liberals agree that’s a bad thing?

    Well duh. That’s why Republicans don’t take them seriously — because they aren’t serious. Occupy Wall Street is a movement astroturfed by foreign communists, as is well-known common knowledge now — but these foreign communists, being the morons that they are, forgot that useful idiots are still IDIOTS. Do they really think any of these whiny brats are actually registered to vote? They don’t even know how to get useful degrees! They do know how to deal heroine and prostitute runaway girls, though.

    The States’ Rights Democratic Party ’ (usually called the Dixiecrats) was a short-lived segregationist political party in theUnited States in 1948. It originated as a breakaway faction of the Democratic Party in 1948, determined to protect what they portrayed as the southern way of life beset by an oppressive federal government,[1] and supporters assumed control of the state Democratic parties in part or in full in several Southern states.  (wiki)

    Frankly I’m surprised that Moore didn’t jump on the OWS is a left wing movement bandwagon.The rest of the left has.And a lot of the left,including the president,are subtly courting the movement by trying to act like they “identify” with it.I hope OWS participants see through all of that,The left is just as much at fault as the right for our problems,just as much in Wall Street’s pockets,has pushed through bills that favored Wall St and big business just as much as the right.

    Perhaps Moore is trying to blunt the notion that OWS should be marching in DC,occupying DC,in order to protect his chosen side and the members of it.He doesn’t really have a choice here,he can’t just protect the left in DC,a march on DC is a march on everybody in DC,which is as it should be.

    Again I hope OWS supporters and participants see through charades like this.How can they possibly not realize that DC is just as much a part of the story as Wall St?How can they not realize that a lot of what happens on Wall St is a direct result of what happens in DC?

    This has got to be one of the vilest string of hateful posts I’ve seen. I don’t hold out much hope for this country (or our species, for that matter) when people are so blinded by their own little version of reality that it becomes impossible for them to see clearly. And all the comments about MM being fat, wtf does that have to do with anything? Most of you mix part fact with total bs that eventually you believe it all. No doubt there are Fox “news” listeners here. Here’s some facts for you all to consider:
    1) Weakening and then doing away with Glass-Steagall that kept Investment Houses separate from traditional banks was a disaster to our economy. It started with Reagan but continued under Bush1 and Clinton.
    2) The result was that Wall Street was able to put under-collateralized money into risky investments. The money came from people’s retirement accounts and savings.
    3) Goldman-Sachs could see the writing on the wall, so they took action. Literally, from one day to the next they reinvented themselves from and investment bank to a regular bank. Very smart, making FDIC responsible for much of the losses = bailouts.
    4) Bush2 permitted Cheney and Rumsfeld to follow Milton Friedman’s economic theory/model which called for tiny weak government & privatizing everything that could be (and some things that couldn’t be). Hence we got Halliburton and Blackwater doing things that used to be done by the military at a vastly higher cost than previously. A windfall for many corporations (particularly any in security related products and services).
    5) The military industrial complex became addicted to the flow of capital and loved the wars. Many people with strong corporate ties became “advisors,” and appointees to the government. There was a blurring of the line between corps and the government. They used their favored insider position to affect policy. The Iraq war is one of the results of this but not the only one. The endless “war on terror” is another.
    6) Enter Citizens United allowing these flush corporations and the likes of the Koch Bros to fund candidates that would favorably vote for business friendly legislation. Our bought and paid for government (both parties as well as the president) do things against the interests of the people and against the wishes of the vast majority of the population and throw us a bone every once in a while. It has become so much the status quo that Congress doesn’t even pretend to answer to the people. They simply say “this is what the people want.” Even when the polls show that a high percentage of the the people want the exact opposite. Then they engage in socially hot button issues to distract us, while they do their dirty deals behind the scenes, like no-bid contracts.

    The end result is a crashed economy and a police state and the death of the American Dream. Anger spawned the Tea Party and the Occupy movement. Both have righteous anger. The main difference is that the Tea Party is largely funded by corporations so naturally they try to direct the anger at the government. The Occupy movement, not being influenced by a single monied source have a broader agenda. Whatever you think about MM, I don’t think anyone can argue that the politicians are bought. Hence the idea of focusing on the bosses, Wall Street. Clearly, the problems of Wall Street, multi-national corporations AND the government will have to be addressed if we are ever going to restore our democracy.

    I have to run some errands, I will be back in a while to answer anyone’s criticism.

    Way to miss the point. If you actually knew anything about OWS, you’d understand that, unlike the right, these people aren’t vilifying individuals. They take the more intelligent and more correct position that the entire SYSTEM is fundamentally flawed, and produces bad results no matter who is nominally in charge. Therefore, it doesn’t matter how much money you make, you can support OWS. The enemy are the parasites in the bloated financial sector, and their enablers and apologists, who produce nothing, who add nothing to their country or communities, who have turned our economy into a casino. Who gambled with our money, our retirements, and walked away when they lost, leaving us to take the fall.

    Disagree with them if you want, but don’t disagree with fabricated positions you’ve falsely attributed to them. That’s too Breitbart-like.

    Sorry, simply asserting that something is false doesn’t make it so. This isn’t the right wing blogosphere, where no one will call you on your BS or ask you to support your assertions. Moore has been proven right again and again, and that’s why the right can’t stand him: he’s right and they know it. If he were wrong, they’d love him, because they’d be able to hold him up and say “Look how stupid this left winger is!” But he’s not, and that’s why is attacked so venomously by the right wing noise machine.

    Moore has done exponentially (go ahead and look it up–I’ll wait) more for this country than any of these rapacious, parasitical bankers that you’ve got your back up defending like the drone you are. Go ahead, look at the numbers. Find out how many trillions of dollars we’ve given Wall Street to fix their stupid mistakes, and we have gotten $0 in return. They produce nothing. Not one thing. All they do is siphon money from the economy. Look at Bank of America’s new fees. Are you honestly trying to tell me that these people DO anything for our economy? These are the people we’ve gone broke bailing out. All they do is take, and people are tired of being stolen from, and they are tired of drooling idiots like you trying to make them feel bad for wanting to be treated fairly.

    >> Leedog: “Republicons are unparalleled when it comes to fake outrage and double standards!”

    Compared to an utter CON ARTIST and walking JOKE like Moore?

    This buffoon actually posted a blog piece recently where he defended the fact that he’s rich, yet then turned right around and declared that he was NOT part of the 1%” at the top of the heap. And he wasn’t part of the “million dollars a year” club, so no one should begrudge him his “rich” status.

    The total CROCK of that being he’s not a member of the “million bucks a year” club is because he’s actually RICHER. Moore’s financial status is actually akin to being a member of the 1% club WITHIN the 1% club due to the hefty profit splitting he receives on his films because they were lower cost documentar­ies, which allowed them to be made under different financial structures and payouts — both upfront AND on the back end — compared to traditiona­l Hollywood features.

    So I just love that Moore had the audacity recently write on his site: “Some years I earn a boatload of cash. Other years, like last year, I don’t have a job (no movie, no book) and so I make a lot less.

    Of course — gee — notice that he didn’t say he made “nothing”, which would be the amount that you’d expect someone who (to use his own words) “didn’t have a job” or who didn’t produce any work at all, for a whole year, would cite? That’s because this doof is trying to COMPLETELY sweep the truth under the rug since the REAL reason he didn’t have a movie last year is because he’s actively pursuing a huge lawsuit to obtain even MORE royalties that he feels he is due. Which would make for yet another MULTI million dollar year for him.

    So in truly whacked out logic — and like the con artist he is — Moore is basically saying the 1% are “bad” for making a million a year, but conversely he’s “not bad” for making SEVERAL million a year.

    Meanwhile, this is the same slob that’s running around in a baseball cap and t-shirt covered with ketchup stains, from the 12 cheeseburgers his lard ass just woofed down, who is likewise trying to convince the world that he’s just another “average” wage earner. And of course, Liberals are actually STUPID enough to buy into this crock, simply because they’re desperate to protect one of their own.

    Now THAT is a laughable double standard!

    The crappy clothes are no different than what KISS wears on stage.  Part of the act.  He has a beach front mansion.  He’s currently worth over $50,000,000.  He gives charitably but only in the thousands while earning millions and funnels as much money as possible through his own charitable organization so he can take advantage of as many tax breaks and loop holes as possible.  He said he’d employ only black people after his film “Stupid White Men” but to date has three black employees out of 134 he employs.  He just gets on the most controversial side of something and makes his money by convincing someone he’s one of them.  I actually support OWS.  But Michael Moore is a snake in the grass!
