Leftist filmmaker Michael Moore, who was in Denver last week to promote a new book and to speak to the Occupy Denver protesters, was not as friendly when confronted by a local reporter, Evrod Cassimy, about his net worth and what he was doing to help the supposed 99%.

Cassimy: Michael, Michael. It’s rumored that you’re worth $50 million, aren’t you part of the one percent?

Moore: I do very well.  And because I do  well I want taxes raised on people who do well including mine.

Cassimy: How are you helping these people with your $50 million?

Moore: I don’t have $50 million.

Cassimy: That’s what it’s rumored you’re worth.

Moore: Really? Is that what you do, sell rumors?

Cassimy: We’re asking if it’s true.

Moore: You’re all just punk media, is all you are.  You lie, you lie to people. Stop lying, stop lying.

Cassimy: Are you not part of the one percent?

Moore: Don’t lie, okay?

The only person lying in this interview was Moore, who has made millions of dollars by distorting the truth in his movies and mocking the capitalist system that has given him a very comfortable life.

If Moore really cared, then why doesn’t he donate the profits from the sales of his new book to help out those who are less fortunate than him. Does he really need $50 million, or whatever the figure may be, to live?

Liberals like to salve their conscience by appearing as if they actually care about the downtrodden, but in reality it’s all just talk.

It seems that rich liberal millionaires seem to have “good advice” to those that are less fortunate regarding how much wealth they need and how much they can do without. I suppose money only means somrthing to those that do not have it.

The Screaming Head

I disagree here…the worst thing that you can do for a poor person is to be poor.

Moore could have handled it better…those questions were easy, softball, even though they were meant to be hardball. If your punk ass would ask me those questions, I would admit to being a part of the 1% in income but 99% in spirit…

The Major

I am now retired & living on pensions,,,,over 35 years ,,I paid my dues ,,,not to mention outrageous taxes. Now I am collecting ,,as I am leagally allowed to. Yes ,,I sympathise with the 99% ers OR the OWSer’s ,,,BUT where were they when I ,,,1) was training to go to Vietnam & was paid $97 per month?,
,,,2) was unemployed in Albuquerque in 82-83 & sold blood plasma twice a week for an income of $20 weekly,,,,as I did NOT live in New Mexico long enough to collect welfare ,,& could NOT ply my trade for the only hiring done was Mex-Americans,,,NO Blacks,,NO Whites,,NO Native-amer’s (Politics) New York struck down the ‘residency laws for Welfare,,,,,but NOT N. Mexico,,,go figure,,,,3) My wife was FIRED on a FALSE Charge at her Hospital ,,,& we found out that she was fired because she does NOT spaek Spanish ( again,,it’s the Mex-amer Pols),,,,The LIST goes ON & ON so i’ll be brief.
If you look GLOBALLY as the OWSer’s will NOT do,,,,any American who makes more than $34,500 per year is one of the ONE % er’s ,,,where many peeps in POOR nations make 50 cents an hour or $2 per day doing terrible labor,,in sickening conditions with NO laws to protect them.
