Thursday, October 01, 2009
Documentary film director Michael Moore, who has become a millionaire thanks to the profits from his movies, told CNSNews.com that "capitalism did nothing" for him.
CNSNews caught up with Moore in Washington,D.C. outside the Uptown Theatre just before the premier of his new film which criticizes capitalism, "Capitalism: A Love Story."
CNSNews.com asked: "Critics may say, when they see this movie, Michael Moore has amassed a fortune of over $50 million, some have said and -"
Moore said: "Really? Are you kidding me? Seriously? Wow. Where did it go?"
CNSNews.com then asked Moore: "Critics would say he's [Moore] been very successful under a capitalist system. How would you justify making a movie where you paint capitalism as evil?"
Moore said: "Well, capitalism did nothing for me, starting with my first film."
Really, Michael. Well according to Fortune Magazine, Mooreons films have grossed over $300 million worldwide.
Further Moore (sorry folks couldn't resist) he has reportedly was paid for directing,producing and creating "Fahrenheit 9/11" to the tune of $21 million by Disney
It gets better folks, Mooreon also made 50% of the profits from his film "Sicko" in the amount of $25 million plus profits from the DVD sales according to Vanity Fair
And, that's not all folks, the LA Times reported that Mooreon made over $17 million in profit from the sale of "Sicko" DVDs.
So Moore criticizes capitalism, but apparently capitalism works for him though.
Here's how I see it Mike, you made millions on your crockumentaries, so now you are well off, but hey, why should any other poor slob be able to do the same. Capitalism is now evil because I have millions, but I don't want anyone else to have millions so now I oppose it.
Oh, and hey Mike, since you are a supporter of his "Oneness", how about applying one of his principles in Socialism, you know since you think Capitalism sucks. You know what I'm talking about Mikey, redistribute the wealth!
