I read somewhere Michael Moore's father was actually a coprotate executive at Ford or GM who worked from 6-2 played Golf on a private club in the afternoons, owned his cars and house outright and put four kids through a Private School and three for college

@manizcaray The Scandinavian system from how you describe it here seems like how we are today. And the reason you don't tax the rich at a high percentage is because of the stock market. Read some about how it works. People with money invest in people who want to make money and make money off of the dividends. When you put high taxes on that it discourages investing, meaning the rich actually do sit on their money instead of investing. High taxes do the opposite of their intent.

@cwrowe Yep Rush makes millions. The difference for you dummies that can't see beyond what you've read in the People magazine is this........Rush make millions of his own accord and has the common sense ie intelligence not to run around saying the wealth of America belongs to everyone while he hoards his millions. Moore is just playing to a crowd of idiots ie you! That believe is crap about the money belongs to everyone while he hordes his millions. Moore makes money off dummies.

@manizcaray "How come rich corporate men get to enjoy government bailouts in the most "socialist" manners, while working class people don't?"

Because the gov didn't listen when people said don't give anyone a bailout. Even with all of it's problems, the US system is still one of the better systems for creating wealth.
