He won't donate anything. Neither will Pelosi, Reid or even Obozo. They all want to redistribute the wealth, but NOT theirs.

Here's the answer, it's very simple.

Instead of TAXING the rich, how about we TAKE half of the net worth of anyone with over, say 10 million dollars? NOT a tax, we just take it.

So Moore will give up 25 million, Pelosi about 30 million, Reid about 50 million and Obozo about 6 or 7 million. Oh yeah, let's njot forget Warren Buffet. He is also a big supporter of redistributing the wealth, so his 40 BILLION would net the govt 20 BILLION. How that sound Warren?

None of them should have any problem with that right? After all they ALL agree they want to redictribute the wealth. Porblem solved.

Yeah sure. Wait and see how loud they will be screaming if that method of redistributing the wealth is used. What? I thought you were going to redisdtribute by taxing rich more. No, I'm not giving half my net worth. Waaah, waaah, waaah. They're all phony hypocrites.

Not true. He welcomes increasing taxes on the rich.

[-] -1 points by electrictroy (282) 12 years ago

Yes I know. But when directly asked if he would donate 1 million of his dollars, he refuses to answer.

You really don't see the difference between one person donating his money, and all people at that income level being taxed more? Really?

Yeah. The difference is that Moore wants the top richest persons of america to donate 1 million dollars to the government (watch the video).

But he's not willing to do it himself.

Hypocrite.

Michael Moore is a master of propaganda. He can take one statement, "I own guns. I like to hunt," and through the magic of video editing/audio splicing make it sound as if the person wants to go-round killing children.

What is surprising is how many people are duped by it. It's obvious when you pay attention (the color of people's clothing changes from one second to the next), because he's splicing together disparate conversations.
