    How much would you expect a very successful
    writer/producer/director with multiple awards to be worth?

    It is hardly a surprise!

    Demagogues like Michael Moore only add flames to the fire. I hope that selling his soul to the powers that be was worth the $50 million.

    He stated that Michael Moore was a Marxist, hypocrite, and a greedy little prick among other things. That seems to be the issue.

    The problems the middle class faces is due to fact that the U.S. is quickly becoming a plutocracy ruled by the very rich. The very rich can afford to buy out the only two political parties with any power. The Supreme Court continues to erode the power of people to make significant changes at the poles by handing down decisions that further empower the rich and powerful.

    Is there any country not ruled by the very rich?
    And if there ever was....how long did it take for the very rich to change that ?
    How long did it take the "poor people" taking charge before THEY became the "very rich"?

    Yes, there are multi-party democracies where bribery is banned and rich people have an equal say as poor people. You can find a few such classless societies in Europe.

    Well, maybe "classless" is a bit of an exaggeration, but try the Scandinavian ones and Finland.

    You managed to stumble onto the point. Yes, he lives the American dream, but preaches Marxism. As to his divorce, ho hum. Anyone interested knew he was a hypocrite long ago.

    If you've watched any Michael Moore flick he demagogues others for making money, while participating to the max in the capitalist system himself. Moore can believe and speak as he wishes, but we will expose his hypocrisy just the same. He is the greedy capitalist he condemns.
