    Uhhhh .... is his money a national resource? Does it really belong to him? Does he take every tax loophole?

    Michael Moore is a douchebag.
    He's a helluva filmmaker. But he is a douchebag. So I guess the exorbitant speaking fees he charges aren't his then, either? Like the time he agreed to speak to a collection of colleges, who scraped together the dough to get him to come — but once they put the Oscar in his hand, his peeps called back and jacked up the price of his already-agreed upon fee.

    What Michael Moore does with his personal finances within the current set of rules has nothing to do with the validity of his opinion on how the rules should be changed.

    Other than the fact that he should practice what he preaches?

    I'll give you $1 if you can say all that in a row without pausing and without screwing up.

    Is he preaching for anyone to voluntarily give their money away beyond taxation?

    Jesus, do we really need another Michael Moore thread? What is this, thread # 575 on the subject?

    Along with the the predictable shit on Wal-Mart over on the Anything Goes "Class Warfare" thread, this place is turning into Groundhog Day.

    Because you guys are so good at sniffing out hypocrisy from your end, right?

    Would this be the appropriate time to make a "Republicans have their heads up their asses" joke?

    That Michael Moore has managed to remain relevant with any subset of the population for this long is one of the great mysteries of life.

    There is no one better at taking facts, twisting them far out of context and putting them back together to fit a bizarre narrative that they had no initial connection to ... a practice that would destroy the credibility of any journalist.
