Lefty Filmmaker Michael Moore Lies About His Personal Wealth

Wednesday, October 26th, 2011

Not that Piers Morgan isn’t a screamin’ loony leftist in his own right, but he does try to get Moore to admit that he, Moore, actually is one of the 1% the OWS protests are all upset about:

From Newsbusters:

According to our friends at Celebrity Net Worth, Moore’s fortune currently totals $50 million:

Fahrenheit 911 raked in $230 million in theaters and another $3 million in DVD sales. After the theaters take their traditional 50% cut, that leaves roughly $130 million. Take away marketing, production and distribution expenses and Moore is conservatively left with $80 million. Moore was able to secure a deal from Miramax which guaranteed him 27% of his film’s net revenues, or roughly $21.6 million. Michael also was entitled to 50% of the profits of Sicko which are estimated to be $17 million.

Moore wants to dress and act as if he’s just a regular guy part of the 99 percenters, but he is every bit a multimillionaire doing everything in his power to make more money for himself.

He invests his fortune in stocks – including the Left’s most-hated company Halliburton! – and isn’t pro-union when it comes to managing his own business.

That folks in this movement hold this man up as an icon for what they stand for is an indictment of how clueless and hypocritical they are as well.

Well said!

Occupy San Francisco: “Let People Print Their Own Money”

Monday, October 24th, 2011

“We need to have a democracy in this country where people have the right to print their own money.”

Yep, dudes and dudettes . . . the little vacuous blond actually says that, and I believe that she means it. More pearls of wisdom from the OWS movement — Oh, ya betcha!

Wait a minute . . . maybe she’s got something there?

The Car Of Tomorrow Coming . . . Real Close To Tomorrow!

Interior center stack of the upcoming Tesla S:

 

Tesla S Center Stack

Tesla is Elon Musk’s company that currently makes the little electric sports car. He also started/runs SpaceX. His company is the first private U.S. rocket company to send a payload into orbit. Their Dragon capsule can either deliver cargo or be outfitted to accomodate up to 7 astronauts and is scheduled to have a close rendezvous with the International Space Station before the end of this year.

All of the science fiction from my youth had space being conquered/developed by private enterprise. Governments militarize it — the private sector makes it pay.

Musk was the co-founder of PayPal and got his mega-hundred-millions when PP was sold to Ebay. He’s now a automotive manufacturer and a space pioneer . . . not a bad way to redistribute his own wealth by creating companies, creating high-tech jobs — paying it forward to better humanity, and I’m sure, hoping to make a few billion bucks in the process.

What is it about this that Progressives just can’t manage to understand?

Gettin’ All Poetic & Shit @ Occupy Philly . . .

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

All you ‘Progressives’ out there that are in love with the OWS movements should watch this amazingly-strange recitation from “Occupy Philly”:

I really don’t know just what to say, so I’ll quote one of the commenters at the YouTube page:

“Last night (Last night) I had a dream (I had a dream) That was really scary (That was really scary) My country was full of f**king idiots (My country was full of f**king idiots) Like this chick (Like this chick) Oh shit, that wasn’t a dream (Oh shit, that wasn’t a dream) It was real (It was real)”

Amazing what the American University system is turning out . . . makes ya feel all hopey/changey inside now don’t it?
