People have no idea how much these filthy rich have access too. Michael moore does not qualify in the 1%, unless he has a cool 100 billion stashed away somewhere.

Go look up the top 100 billionairs and i BET you cannot come up with ONE trillionair. They exist, just don't want you to know who they are. Hint, two of them were at the royal wedding.

Who cares if he is part of the 1% or not. The fact is he is actively trying to correct the system. I don't like the guy, he looks too much like Peter Griffin and his movies suck, but at least he is talking about the problem and giving basic solutions. Basically, anyone who is soley left or right wing is part of the problem as they can't see past their party's bs to fix what needs to be done.

Moore wants desperately to be recognized as a visionary, of the "look at me" variety. Maybe if I met him and talked with him I would be persuaded, but I doubt it.

Is Michael Moore giving his money away he earned ?

Its called redistribution.

OWS supports it.

So why isnt he playing by OWS rules?

Neo,

As an experienced member of ATS, why do you insist on creating and perpetuating threads and posts that are clearly nothing more than political trolling?

You don't like Moore, that's obvious, and so you attempt to discredit the OWS movement by attaching and discrediting Moore's statements.

What you need to be worried about is people like Romney and other people on the right changing their views on OWS. At first they said OWS was dangerous. Now they sympathize? At least Moore is consistent in his actions. The people on the right are slowly moving towards OWS despite their statements otherwise.

Could it be because the American people are now saying, in recent polls, that OWS is more popular than the Tea Party? Could be. We know how the right loves to co-opt movements that may equal votes.

You need to worry about what is happening on your side of the spectrum before you criticize the others. Before too long Glenn Beck and Hannity will be trying to hold OWS events so they can cash in.
