Millionaire Filmmaker Michael Moore: ‘Capitalism Did Nothing For Me’

[Oddball]

Moore said: “Well, capitalism did nothing for me, starting with my first film.You know, I had to pretty much beg, borrow and steal,” he said. “The system is not set up to help somebody from the working class make a movie like this and get the truth out there.”


here we are ...the full quote.

Yeah...Whatever.

That bloated bilious blowhard wouldn't know capitalism if were responsible for him being a zillionaire.

VENICE (Fortune) -- If anyone has profited from the free-enterprise system in the past 20 years, it's Michael Moore. Since 1989, when his "Roger & Me" pioneered the docu-comedy form of nonfiction film, Moore's movies, TV shows and best-selling books have given him an eight-figure net worth.

The last one happens to be the financier for Moore's latest film that tell's us all about how bad capitalism is. So much for the do as I say, not as I do. Moore should then have the courage of his convictions and give all the profits he makes from all his films past, present, and future to the Govt. for re-distribution if capitalism is so bad. He has about as much credibility on the subject as member of congress does telling you they are working for you, the average American.

But the fuckin' hypocrite got the money and made his movie didn't he? Just because he had difficulty finding someone to believe in him isn't the systems fault.

That's how the capitalist system is SUPPOSED to work. If he wanted a socialist giveaway program to every no-talent hack with delusions of being an artiste, he should have gone with the National Endowment for the Arts.

I'd say that, like Moore, his fans on this board wouldn't recognize capitalism if it crawled up their pants leg and bit them on the left ass cheek.

Sad, but too true. Wow.
