Michael Moore would deny he is a narcissist. Who else would deny that or the existence of a big river in Egypt?
A sickness? Or perhaps just one of multitudes of human attributes that make us loveable and not so loveable and which most of us suffer from to some extent.
Michael Moore is fat and not so cuddly when he lies about not being part of the 1%. $343,927 annually puts you in the one percent.
Heck, the stocks he denies purchasing and filing taxes on in the past in one of his non profits probably made money he sheltered.
You see, when his activities are not highly profitable, he hangs out using others donations, investing in stocks and cheating on his taxes. Claiming two primary residences qualifies as cheating. Who is harmed, all the 99 percenters have two primary residences don't they?
When he has something that catapults him into the 1%, he hangs out in a for profit mode. Not that he makes over $300,000 a year...
But he gets away with it. After all he talks about important things.
Hogwash. He lies about important things.
One truth slipped out recently - He does make a lot of money for those 1 percenters however, that he was only able to earn large amounts of money because it was profitable for large corporations.
Thanks from us real 99 percenters to you, a flatulent 1 percent enabler as well as a narcissistic denier. Does he also think he is svelt? Even health care reform can not stop his overindulgence.
“But what is the point” he asks?
Either Michael Moore movies aren’t that profitable for him, or he’s having a real identity crisis.
During a live made-for-cable-television town hall event on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight” Tuesday, Moore discussed the plight of those hurt by the current economy. When asked by host Piers Morgan to admit that he was a part of the so-called “1 percent,” the enormously successful liberal filmmaker and author flatly denied it. The IRS reports that the top 1 percent of income-earners make a minimum of $343,927 in annual adjusted gross income.
MOORE: Isn’t that amazing? Really, I’m here talking against my own interests.
MORGAN: What’s the matter with you?
MOORE: What’s wrong with me?
MORGAN: You crazy man. He makes a good point. You’re in the 1 percent?
MOORE: I’m not in the 1 percent.
MORGAN: Probably 0.2 percent?
MOORE: No.
MORGAN: You’re one of the most successful filmmakers in the country.
MOORE: No, I’m not. For a documentary filmmaker, I’m doing well.
MORGAN: You’re splitting hairs.
MOORE: There’s a big difference between a documentary and “Avatar.”
MORGAN: There is.
MOORE: I’m not that. Let me just say –
MORGAN: There are people watching that say “Michael Moore, rich guy.”Moore justified his position by saying he was only able to earn large amounts of money because it was profitable for large corporations.
“Well, I’m able to do what I want to do and I have the money to make my films in exactly the way I want to make them. I don’t answer to anyone,” Moore said.
“I can’t be bought because these people have spent $10 at the movie theater to buy tickets to my movies or $3 at the old Blockbuster, when there was a Blockbuster. And as a result of that I get to keep making these movies. But here’s the thing – because I’ve also – I’ve had a peek behind the curtain because these books I write, these movies I make are made for essentially large corporations. The only reason they allow this to happen is because I make them a lot of money.”
And with that explanation, Moore continued to insist he wasn’t among the 1 percent.
“Of course I’m not,” Moore said. “How can I be in the 1 percent?
No, that’s not true. I do really well. I do well, but what’s the point, though?”
