Michael Moore Joins Wisconsin Labor Protests: "America Is Not Broke"

[drumheadcircle]

Go eat some bacon fat ass- your too ugly for youtube!

[ColdBoi]

voting wont do a thing the corrupt own the government.

[KaylebMichaelCanaan]

@ColdBoi Too bad you feel powerless...Perhaps like a nihilist you should just commit suicide?

[ColdBoi]

@KaylebMichaelCanaan lol and take away the reason for all the girls in the world to live? I don't think so. We aren't powerless just current state of affairs seem futile unless real change is made.

[ekjohndeer]

This fat pig of a man this is how he makes a living ! 4 house's , worth millions off of what he says , capitalism is bad if he thinks everyone would be even than he should take all his millions and spilt it up with the people that has nothing. only thing that should be taken away is his food from his table the fat piece of trash

[FrostPlutarc]

In 2005 the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) calculated that the top 1 percent paid 27.6 percent of all federal taxes. The top 10 percent paid 54.7 percent. Go to CBO DOT ORG. The IRS shows the top 1 percent paid 38.02 percent of income taxes for the same tear, I mean year. Preliminary results for 2010: Top 1 Percent should have been paid 32.9 percent of individual income tax. Politifact rated Moore's statement of the top 400 as true.

[hookalakah]

See ya at the polling place in 2012, pal. Vote early, vote often--it's the way of the Left.

[hookalakah]

Moore DID deny the unions their "rights" or, more accurately, the money they would have gotten had he used them on his production. THAT'S what it has to do with the unions, Metalhead. Unions aren't up in arms over Moore's penny-pinching because he's a public spokesman for their agenda--so they give him a pass on his business practices. It's part of the inherent contradiactions and hypocracies of the Left.

[pricklypete1]

@hookalakah That's like saying Golf fans should be furious with Tiger Woods if he's caught playing baseball because it would be hypocritical since Golf has made him wealthy. Stupid arguement. Very GOP of you. And yes, it would be counter productive for Unions to attack such a powerful advocate for working people. Do you really fail to comprehend the difference between making a rightful choice to use non-Union Labor and using tax-free Corporate $ to strip workers legal rights? Wow. C'mon 2012...

[MetalDetroit]

If you SEIZED all the wealth and assets in this country you still could NOT pay off the Federal Deficit.

[hookalakah]

"What would you say to someone who made $50 million in an industry in which 90 percent of his fellow union members made less than $5,000 per year?

How about someone whose last project grossed over $220 million but who hired nonunion workers to save money? Unions should be up in arms." --Jerry Zandstra, Detroit News, March 25, 2011

[shkotay]

@hookalakah What does this have to do with the unions? You think Moore would have denied them union rights? The business agreement you enter in before is caveat emptor. Its when they depend and pay ppl already under a union and fuck them over. Unions arent in arms because they have common sense and at least sometimes dont try to lie and fool ppl with logical fallacies like Zand there would.

[MsJanetWood]

400 Americans have more wealth than 155,000,000 Americans combined!

Wow!

[TheKestrel4aKnave]

Show our power with a general strike, followed rapidly with the creation of a Labor Party that stands in all elections to boot out both parties of big business.This would set an example for workers all over the world to defeat their own exploiters.

[papescape]

what a joke! we are so broke its not even funny hahA...

actually it kinda is funny in a sad/sick way

[azzgunther]

@papescape

You didn't get his point. We're broke because nearly all of our capital and wealth is out of circulation. How long will you watch your country wither while you bicker with other middle class and poor people about things that don't matter.

All that matters now is that we regain our share of the pie. To fix our infrastructure, improve our educational systems, improve our economic systems and decrease our environmental impact.

[papescape]

@papescape

i realize that its just a little depressing that's all...

i agree with you,

[dumus12]

wish he would have a heart attach and fly to cuba for treatment.

[GOODNewsAz]

TY God 4 bringing Michael into this world...

Like King, he' s truly a revolutionary !

[Libdump]

Question: What do you get when you cross a Hippo with a jackass?

Answer: Michael Moore

If Michael Moore ever acquired power, his name would be Gaddafi. He is a tyrant and a dictator at heart. And that tells us everything we need to know to recognize his inspiration source. Hint: It ain't divine!

[MatXPat]

Some comments here ARE terribly UN-AMERICAN, but they are not from Michael Moore, but from the worst kind of terrorist...

[Zachdudeio2]

New good produce the abolition of monotonous jobs with little contribution to society. Sure we have Car factories and the like, but what's amazing is that those jobs can be replaced by MACHINES. Automatation will make our lives better, but not in a monetary system. With the progression of advanced technology, politics and money will inevitably become obsolete. Check the Venus Project, I'm not original or innovative.

[christopherleeism]

 I agree withdrunkfatdude

[dragnet53]

4th lie should be muslims were behind 911. More like mossad was behind 911 and just used brown people to act like muslims.

[oriondg]

BorakOBummer is a great example of what I see in America right now. People who oppose Barrack Obama because hes black, or was a muslim, and they pretend there are other reasons. They aren't reasonable any further, they are a vessel of hatred that wants to vent itself.

Ignore Borak, as he represents a very misguided little kid with a lot of hatred in his twisted heart. Don't allow him to detract from reasonable debate.

[oriondg]

Republicans will cut science, education and health benefits, but they have no qualms about sending weapons to Libyans, or staging a full military operation in Libya.

Stop voting Republican you silly Americans, do it before you come north to Canada to beg entry to my so-called inferior country when you finish shitting all over your own.

[dijhili]

@oriondg all they did was cut PART of collective bargaining (extortion). They are not cutting health benefits, only asking they chip in 3-5% like the rest of us. Without it, their system will break.

You obviously lack the ability to read or research.

[drunkfatdude]

those 400 should fall and anyone who supports them.

[AntaresInScorpius]

YEAH MICHAEL MOORE, he has a great history of hiring union workers, LMAO. fuking hypocrite.

[rockbottom9252]

@AntaresInScorpius you dont know about micheal moore cos your a hater Your hate speech makes you hypocrit cos your gay and wont come out

[AntaresInScorpius]

@rockbottom9252 LMFAO, rockbottom shut up, you are an idiot.

[rockbottom9252]

@AntaresInScorpius Your the idiot cos of your hate

[dijhili]

@rockbottom9252, Michael Moore denies union workers on his films, THAT is what makes him a hypocrite.

[RELATEDXXX]

SELL OUT TO THE PSEUDO GOP ; now!!!!

[greenerrevolution]

wow,

great speech mike! I almost forgot to listen while dealing with these single digit morons on the message board. One of the best speeches I've ever heard. Certainly better than anything Barak ever said. The difference is, Michael is telling the truth.

Oh...Borak....I know you can't wrap your head around that comment. but that's why you're a reactionary moron!!! LOL now go give your wife a big (*&*(* for me!! LOL

[BorakOBummer]

@greenerrevolution Green revolution.....Like Van Jones? Do you too aspouse to the leadership of Chaiman Mao....like Van Jones does? Probably don't even know he does......you just think he's a sweet guy with a nice smile. After prison he organized rallies to protest the murderer of a cop killer in Oakland. If you weren't such a pussy....you'd look up the STORM handbook.....Read it....you'll learn who your Green for All Leader really is. Fucking communist dumb ass.

[dijhili]

@greenerrevolution well how about this truth, Michael Moore denies union workers on his films. How you like them apples?

[greenerrevolution]

If we keep letting Morons like borak breed ....we will be 3rd world . Makes me a fan of eugenics. I know the little redneck will have to look this up at wiki, but it will be good for the little prick

[greenerrevolution]

borak was so busy suckin glenn becks little penis, he forgot to get educated.

Hey....education connection caters to rednecks like you!!! LMAO you should take your little pee pee over there and check it out!!!

[greenerrevolution]

borak,

what a fuckin little tool you are

[aubie0071971]

live united! support your fellow americans

[brmanski]

It was great that Michael chose to join us on Saturday. It was one of his best speeches. But it is unfortunate that the other important news about Saturday's rally was lost in the process. This rally was the first mass rally NOT organized by our unions. Speakers included community justice activists, farmers, students, environmentalists, veterans, and yes, labor activists.

[dijhili]

@brmanski its also great that Michael Moore denies union workers on his films. Nice to see the Union MORONS did research that little fact. Ooooppppssss! Just shows how dumb union members are....just pay your dues.....LOL

[BorakOBummer]

myHome109 Get off the koolaid man.....you're a little goofy. No...No....you're totally wacked out. 

[myHome109]

How many government PONZI SCAM do the tax payers have to support?

$100 Trillion government union workers no-asset phantom pension plan.

$56 Trillion Medicare and Medicaid no-asset phantom healthcare benefits trust fund.

$2 Trillion real asset stolen from Social Security Trust Fund and last year 2010 SSA became a no-asset investment.

The total debt associated with these phantom investment are 300% greater than all the asset in USA including your nose ring!

[marcostar57]

@myHome109 Oops, you forgot the trillions spent on that greatest Ponzi scheme scam called the PENTAGON -- for all our wars of imperialism.. DUH!! (but maybe you think these scams are good)

[myHome109]

May I call you,

Borak the Proud Union Multi-Trillionaire Aggressive Panhandler with Loud Banging Begging Bowel.

[BorakOBummer]

@myHome109 If that make you a big man......knock yourself out.

[myHome109]

Borak,

Tax Payers do not have to support a PONSI Caper no-asset 8% investment pension plan, set up by government labor unions, for government labor unions and administered by government union memberships. This is your Zero-Asset investment. Good Luck Collecting.

The government union pension investment phantom asset is greater than 300% of all assets in USA, that's laughable. When your government union pension phantom asset PONSI SCAM is three times bigger than everything in USA.

[myHome109]

Borak,

The constitution states that government are not allowed to take assets without just compensation. If you are a Government Union Worker, this law means you as a government worker cannot take property from private citizens that do not belong to you.

The constitution is to protect private citizens and tax payers from government workers.

[myHome109]

Is this how Government Union Membership, owners of multi-Trillion dollar pension fund behave?

Laud aggressive panhandlers beating on begging bowels!

Either they have $100 Trillion in assets invested at 8% or they want tax payers to support a huge PONSI SCAM?

[myHome109]

America is not broke! Government Union Pension Plans are broke because Unions designed a no-asset investment at 8% interest, for union members and ran by union membership.

Tax payers are not require to support a $100 Trillion dollar PONSI SCAM with no-asset investments return of 8%.

[myHome109]

I am a Democrat. You need to stop supporting this notion that Government Union pensions have $100 Trillion in assets under investment at 8%. Real peoples lives and retirement will get destroyed with this no-asset phantom investment.

I walk the streets for my teachers to get a bond passed, I walked the streets to get the new fire-engine and paramedic station upgrade.

...but i will not walk the streets to support a PONZI CAPER no-asset investment plan as a retirement plan! No Support!

[BorakOBummer]

@myHome109 I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. I guess we're not on the same side. You're obviously so damn drunk its impossible to figure out what side you're on. Get rid of the Unions....then you don't have to worry about it. Don't work for the government and get a job in the competitive market. Smoke a joint so your blood pressure goes down. Then just shoot yourself.....you're hopeless!

[myHome109]

The Government Union Pension funds reported to earn 8% per year is a pure fictional phantom. How can these pension funds own 200% asset value greater than all the market capitalization of USA.

Government Federal, State and Municipal pension funds are no-asset phantom investments. PONZI CAPERS. Tax payers are not require to fund ponzi capers.

[myHome109]

Low estimate of phantom investment assets.

$3,700,000,000,000 / 8% = $46,250,000,000,000 or $46.25 Trillion

High estimate of phantom investment assets.

$4,100,000,000,000 / 4% = $102,500,000,000,000 or $102.5 Trillion in investment assets.

How can you allow a $100 Trillion dollar no asset phantom investment to continue?

The entire wealth of USA is less than $60 Trillion.

[myHome109]

Total Pension expenditure $3.7 (2010 actual) to $4.1 Trillion (2011)

Total collected for Pension $2.2 Trillion (2010 actual)

Amount Short $1.5 (2010 actual) to $1.9 Trillion (2011)

If the actual amount of expenditure is $3.7 for government union pension in 2010 and $4.1 Trillion for 2011, then using Ms. Lav’s earning on no asset “phantom investments”.

[RADAREALIST]

Moore can take his socialist crap out of Wisconsin.

[BorakOBummer]

Michael Moore is a loooooon. America is broke. You're either positive cash position or negative cash position. American is almost $15,000,000,000.00 in the hole. That my Socialist friends is BROKE. Michael Moore says there's plenty of money in America....he thinks we should TAKE IT from the Rich....but I don't see his FAT ASS stepping up and giving up his hundreds of Millions. His heart is in the right place...packed full of saturated fat and on his way to a heart attack!

Can't wait!

[chillbers]

@BorakOBummer those are some perfectly put together words.

[BorakOBummer]

@chillbers Thanks man. As much heat as I've been getting in this realm of socialism.....nice to hear a kind word.

[oriondg]

@BorakOBummer You sound like a fucking communist. Move to fucking Cuba you piece of shit.

[ossito]

love the speech, it was well over due but.. when it comes to the point that we will not get change by non-violent means will people be willing to do what needs to be done, easy to get fired up about a speech, but fighting with the risk of dying is another all together

[BorakOBummer]

@ossito bring on your violent means of change tough guy. Climb over my fence first......my guns are loaded....my amo is dry and I'm a great shot...... you're just a little radical piss ant.

[ossito]

@BorakOBummer I do understand the context of your answer and you clearly misunderstand mine, I am merely asking if people would do what they have to do, things are different these days, it is not 1776 and I would not expect a majority of the people in this country to do what was done in Egypt. Sort of like all bark no bite sort of thing. Personally, I believe there were plenty of things to be pissed about way before bank bailout and threat to employees union dues.

[BorakOBummer]

@ossito Maybe I did misunderstand your comment.....I reread it and maybe I was wrong. But here's the deal. It may not be 1776....but if Americans want Americans to give up the Constitution and the Bill of Rights for a socialist model....which is what Unions are...Socialists...there will be a Civil War. Freedom is worth fighting for. Unions march with Socialist and Communist sign carriers and their signs are identical to socialists. Van Jones is their speaker...Communist. It aint going to stand.

[ossito]

@BorakOBummer Why do we need a law to tell companies what a minimum wage will be? The problem is that people inherently will not do the right thing if given a choice, especially if it comes to money. Communism is about classes, but def looks like our system already. Now take libraries, police, fireman, & public schools, you have no choice in paying for these services, that is Socialism.

[BorakOBummer]

@ossito Why do we need to tell a corporation what a minimum wage will be? Let the markets do that. Minimum wage is just where people start...usually with few skills...When they gain skills...they get raises. The government should stay the hell out of BUSINESS. They are Government, Business is Business. I disagree with your premise that people inherently do the wrong thing. Government is supposed to protect the people...ie police firemen. Unions stand with Socialists and Communists

[ossito]

@BorakOBummer Now the Constitution & Bill of Rights were drawn up to protect the people from abuse of a governing authority but since corporations have the same rights as individuals in the court system and they have way more money & resources, we lose. So the problem is not what form of govt you run, the prob is the foundation for which everything has been run from since day one. No more production for the sake of profits of the few just sucking up our resources. Trust me, we are on same side.

[BorakOBummer]

@ossito The corporations that make our cars, our tv's, our computers, produce our electricity, the gas we put in our cars, get the groceries to the stores, the fast food corps, the ones who build our roads, provide us luxurious places to vacation and the airplanes to get there. You mean the corporations that Americans work for? The profits that keep them in business? How do we lose? How do you consider that for just a few? 1 corporation I know of....Hewlett Packard employs 365,000 people.

[ossito]

@BorakOBummer If you think for one second that corporations don't want to maximize their profit by any means necessary, you are in big trouble. They do not give a damn about you. HP employee number is after buying 3com, I won't even go into HP's recently run-ins with House Committee on Energy and Commerce and allegations of spying on employees.

[BorakOBummer]

@ossito So whats your point. Corporations don't go into business not to make profits.  I don't care if they don't care about me. So what if HP employee numbers are hight after buying 3com....(part of business) and their allegations are what? ALLEGATIONS. Geez...... If you don't like corporations.....DON'T WORK FOR ONE. I never have. I built my own business. I never have to WHINE about how pitiful I am or how mistreated I am. THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES IN LIFE MY FRIEND! WORK!!!!

[mispistoleros]

so be it...michael moore, in the absence of anyone better to rally the people

[BorakOBummer]

@mispistoleros don't you love how Michael Moore rallies the people talking about the fat cats......when he's the fattest of the fat cats......worth hundreds of millions that he wants to take from others. Hypocrite in the purest sense of the word.

[mispistoleros]

@BorakOBummer, i'd say moore is sincere but, like alex jones, an opportunist. he's saying all the right things but, IMO, Jeff Skiles, the co-pilot of the "miracle on the hudson", had more to say. like jones, what moore says about the redistribution of wealth is correct, but divisive.

btw, i don't share any of your sentiments. america isn't broke. it's the victim of looting by the PNAC - Pentagon, Wall Street and the Federal Reserve, its white house, congress and judiciary suborned by AIPAC.

[BorakOBummer]

@mispistoleros I know you don't share any of my sentiments. I know all the bullets of Alex Jones cult members. Wall Street, the Fed, The Fed isn't even part of the government its a private corporation. 9/11 was an inside job, Obama wasn't born in the US, Elvis is Alive and living in the same resort as Michael Jackson. I know all about your little cult....I dumped my last girlfriend....because she was wacked out. She'd start each sentence with Once Upon a Time and end it with Infowars.com

[Will224000]

A CEO (call him David Koch), a talk show host (call him Glenn Beck), & a talk show darling (call her Sarah Palin), are sitting at a table with a unionized public employee, & a teabagger. On the table there are 12 cookies. Koch reaches across, takes 11 cookies, gives 2 to Beck & 2 to Palin before getting up & leaving the restaurant (without paying his bill). Beck & Palin then look at the teabagger & say, "Watch out for that union guy, he’ll leave you with nothing but crumbs."

[shkotay]

YAAAHH!!!! Nice going! this is the kind of stuff that needs to go up EVERYWHERE!!

Nearly guaranteed that the major networks are being told not to show this.

Goddamn we need much more of this!!!

[jag10]

Michael Moore, the hypocrite - if only these people knew where his money (tax exempt) was really invested (Wall Street) and how he treated his (non-union) employees..

[shkotay]

@jag10 If you're looking for jesus christ then you are 2000+ years late. You wanna find a perfect human being who hasnt fucked up and will give his money away I am not sure where you will get one today. At least he is on the side of the ppl getting fucked over and not buying out politicians to keep this stuff silent, as I am sure he could do if he wanted. And if you dont see any issue with the wealth disparity he posited (and its true) then you have some serious issues my fellow youtuber.

[jag10]

@shkotay , I agree, just poking fun at the hypocrisy of Hollywood.

He is a pretty simple guy, and his heart seems to be in the right place.

Did Ari Emanuel put him up to this? or did he decide to do this on his own?

[baumarboltree]

help put these in youtube home page !

[9serchiyo]

this is such a good video that i know that fox will never present it on any of their manipulative false news

[dijhili]

@9serchiyo actually they did, they used it to make fun of all the STUPID UNION workers that had Michael Moore speak for them acting like he supports them when in fact, Michael Moore denies union workers on his films! LOL

Unions are dead! I love it!
