Capitalism has been kind to Moore. He lives in a waterfront mansion with a private beach, one that is so lily-white that not a single black person lives there. This is not by accident. Though he exclaimed in his film “Stupid White Men” that he plans to “hire only black people,” author Peter Schweizer found that of the 134 producers, editors, cinematographers, composers and production coordinators that Moore hired, only three were black.
Moore says it is anti-Christian not to divide the pie fairly. So what would that make him? Oh, yes, he does contribute to soup kitchens. Too bad he doesn’t actually employ the poor—then he could shelve the Campbell’s. In 2002, his charitable donations amounted to $36,000. Sounds like a lot until we learn that he made eight figures that year. One more thing: he ran his donations through his private foundation, a capitalist-created scheme designed to protect fat cats from paying their fair share of taxes.
The next time a social justice Christian brags about his commitment to the poor, ask him to open his own books. Transparency is so beautiful.
For a little review on the famed business magnate's portfolio, here's something from the Newsmax archive courtesy of Peter Schweizer which showcase Moore's investments in big oil, big pharma and big defense contracting.
I've heard about Michael Moore's luxurious homes and stock portfolio. Every time a commercial for his Capitalism movie comes on, I want to barf. (Incidentally, Noam Chomsky is also a millionaire with a stock portfolio. They have their's, but God forbid that *you* attain any wealth.)
ReplyDeleteI remember reading years ago that Moore stiffed the contractors doing some work on his home in Manhattan. What a friend of the workin' man!
I have Donohue's new book, Secular Sabotage. It's excellent -- incredibly informative. The thing about Donohue is that he gets results FAST.
