I dont care if Michael Moore is a R or D. I'm saying he's a hypocritical asshole to stand up and complain about the 1% when he is clearly one of them.
Calling it a 1% vs 99% is a ploy by the right wing to make it seem like class warfare. Why do you think those guys are occupying Wall Street? It's because this protest is mainly about this financial meltdown, and the financiers doing everything within their power to make their financial situations better while bringing the country down. Bill Gates is in the 1% but you won't find many OWS folk willing to put him down. Why? Because Bill Gates and other upper class citizens take it upon themselves to use their wealth for the greater good. Those guys at Goldman Sachs et al. are not known for the same goodness of heart.
So if you want to be an idiot and paint the picture as black vs white because your mind is not capable of fathoming any other type of situation then go ahead, be a tard. Otherwise, use your critical thinking faculties and take a good look at the world outside of the way you're used to looking at it.
so all these morons carrying around signs that say "we are the 99%" are doing so because its a right wing ploy?
