Topic: Michael Moore Clashes With CBS4 Reporter Evrod Cassimy After | |
---|---|
Cassimy asked Moore about his own personal wealth and how he has used this to benefit the movement. After dodgingthe question a bit, Moore responds to Cassimy quoting rumors he's worth $50 million:
Cassimy: It's rumored you're worth $50 million -- aren't you part of the 'one percent?' Moore: I do very well, and.. Cassimy: How are you helping these people? Moore: I want taxes raised on people who do well, including myself. Cassimy: How are you helping people with your$50 million? Moore: (Laughing) I don'thave $50 million dollars. Cassimy: That's what it's rumored you're worth. Moore: Well really, is that what you do--sell rumors? Cassimy: We're asking you the truth. Moore: You're just punk media, is all you are. You lie. You lie to people. Stop lying. Just don't lie, ok? Mediaite notes this isn't the first time the filmmaker has been pressed on the subject of his wealth. A conservative blogger in Portland recently experienced pushback (quite literally) when he asked Moore if his personal wealth elevatedhim to the status of the"One Percent." |

I hope Cassimy doesn’t get fired by his superiors.

I think the point is brushed over sometimes. Even though there are catch phrases like 'the 99 percent', I believe the issue at hand is GREED, as opposed to hating capitalism, or hating all companies, or hating all rich people
I think most who get involved do so because they want a SYSTEMATIC change, not because of an adversity to any GROUP in its entirety. So, if some of the one percenters support the movement, its no more hypocritical than when white politicians supported civil rights, or when heterosexuals support homosexual marriage its not always so simple as one group vs another group,,thank goodness |

That fat a$$ cow Michael Moore is the king of lying and misleading people. Who cares what that fat a$$ does or is worth. |
