Let’s Nationalize the Wealth!

Posted on | March 4, 2011 | 17 Comments

So says Michael Moore: “They’re sitting on the money, they’re using it for their own — they’re putting it someplace else with no interest in helping you with our life, with that money. We’ve allowed them to take that. That’s not theirs, that’s a national resource, that’s ours. We all have this, we all benefit from this or we all suffer as a result of not having it.”

And obviously, Fat Mike’s right about this: That’s our money, the rich have taken it from us, and we have the right to take it back — starting with Michael Moore’s Park Avenue penthouse in New York and his 7,000-square-foot lakefront home.

What an excellent idea!

    I saw part of that clip in which he states that there is a limited amount of money. He apparently is unaware of QE2.

    I remember that Michael Moore when he had that short lived TV show that failed staged a flotilla of poor folks from New York to do an amphibious landing on some private beach in Connecticut.

    Can we circulate the tip jar to fund Stacy and Wombat doing a similar assault on la côte de la gros salaud on Moore’s Michigan playground this summer? Maybe Jeff Goldstein will participate, since he loves Moore as much as anyone out there.

    PW has had multiple posts today on Monsieur Gros Salaud.

    If they want to raid his Flint home, they can crash at my house. (There’s a really big Mr TC lurking about, and MrsTOM would be more than welcome – before you sick freaks start thinking badly of my reputation!)

    I’ve even got a van with 200k hard miles on it – it’ll make great pictures and hold “our” stuff until we can get it home.

    You know…ol’ Micheal Moore is the type of guy who will hold one in his mouth until the swelling goes down….What a hypocrite.

    Fat Mike should join the “You First!” Union.

    You first, Mikey. Feel free to tax yourself progressively and show us where you sent the money.

    Set a good example! For the chirrun!

    If you do, maybe Al Gore will follow. In his suit.

    This guy is a clueless idiot. He makes Forest Gore look like a genius. Even VP Biden may have a higher IQ.

    Well, he didn’t get that big by eating brain food.

    Mr. Moore, your lakefront home in Traverse City will be just perfect for my family. My hubby really wants a place near all the golf courses. And it’s conveniently close to the Pere Marquette River and other great fishing streams.

    Oh, BTW, Mr. Moore, since the crappy economy drove us out of Michigan, we will need your private jet to ferry us from Colorado to Michigan to enjoy your–er, our new home.

    It’s so wonderful of you to share your wealth with us. Thanks, Mike!

    I’ll take the penthouse. I’m sure I can decontaminate it to get rid of the liberal socialist cooties and make a lovely home for my family.

    Contact me, Mike, and we’ll make arrangements to transfer my share of your wealth accordingly.

    Moore is today’s finest example of Mencken’s observation that “No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”

    Every single one of his “documentaries” has been false in its premise and in most particulars, and can best be described as propaganda for a singularly sick and perverted leftist point of view.

    He first came to prominence with such a film, “Roger and Me,” in which he pursued Roger Smith, then the CEO of GM, in a white trash version of Mike Wallace’s “60 Minutes” style, to harass him over factory closings and layoffs at the automaker. Smith and his entourage regularly flee Moore’s presence with the look of men who have smelled something very repulsive and wish to cease the experience.

    Now, Smith was a truly terrible CEO, but not for any of the reasons Moore believed. Factories which were losing money would have to be closed no matter who was the boss.

    Smith’s failure was his reticence to do so, and his failure to confront the unions. He didn’t invent the strategy of appeasing unions when you can’t afford to pay any more by promising future benefits, but he practiced it with fervor. Smith also kept throwing good money into trying to save marginal facilities, funds which belonged in research and might have enabled GM to improve its product and thereby its competitive position. He tried to keep the company at #1 through sheer momentum, and it didn’t work – it cost more jobs and stockholders’ wealth in the attempt, and delayed the needed retooling for a new era.

    Moore’s preferred choices would probably have swiftly bankrupted even GM, and certainly would have cost more jobs and more wealth than even Smith’s bad plans did.

    Socialism…..no Communism at its finest.

    The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency.
    Vladimir Lenin

    President Obama and His Treasury Secretary are trying hard to destroy the American Currency. People Like Michael Moore just dont understand what those higher up are trying to do.

    The reason the big business is sitting on their money is because they are afraid to spend it, knowing that as we speak our currency is being debased and devalued by the government administration and good LIBERAL democrats going along with a PROGRESSIVE/COMMUNIST agenda of devaluing the dollar, destroying capitalism so that socialism can step in and take over.

    Democracy is indispensable to socialism.
    Vladimir Lenin
