My name is Michael Moore.
You might know me by my documentaries, which are completely accurate in every respect - for example - did you know that no one in Canada locks their doors at night?
Anyhoo.
Today, I'm writing about the class war. About how the rich get richer, but the poor get poorer.
But, before I begin, a little disclosure. While I wear a stupid baseball hat, and try to look like I'm a common man, actually, I'm wealthy. You may have missed it, but if you pay any attention to my general demeanor at all, you would see that I'm just a little bit better than the rest of you. As I once explained:
I'm a millionaire, I'm a multi-millionaire, I'm filthy rich. You know why I'm a multi-millionaire? 'Cause multi-millions like what I do. That's pretty good, isn't it? There's millions that believe in what I do. Pretty cool, huh?Of course when it comes to WalMart and Nike, well, that's different. It isn't "pretty good" that millions of people like what THEY do, because, well, they export jobs outside of the country, relying on goods manufactured in places that pay so much less than employees in the United States that good old Americans are losing jobs.
And that's just unfair.
Because, well, while we think that there should be a sharing of the wealth in the United States, the idea that AMERICANS, in general, should share their wealth with places like Mexico, and Korea, and elsewhere, is, well.. not "pretty good".
So.
To explain.
We need to take money from the wealthy in America, and give it to the poor and lower middle-class IN AMERICA.
Yes, we have welfare and we still have over 90% employment, but from my point of view, countries like Vietnam have no business taking our jobs. Because SHARING isn't for everyone - it's just for the chosen people. The Occupiers. The autoworkers. IN AMERICA.
Yes - I'm a big supporter of sending money to the poor through Al Gore's ponzi scheme of carbon trading, but that's money from CORPORATIONS.. not from people.
Well.
Yes, people do own shares in corporations, including people like, oh, autoworkers with pensions, and school teachers and policemen..
And, Yes.. when we pointlessly strip profit from these corporations, it is true that the loss of profit will negatively impact the value of millions of working people's pension funds, 401K's and RRSP's.. and, I suppose, could result in jobs moving from North America to those countries we would send money too.
And, Yes, when we establish a higher standard of living in places like Vietnam by increasing investment and employment in those countries, building new factories, and roads and homes.. that is sorta like what happened when the British and French colonized North America.. and yes, while the standard of living in the U.S. was kinda crappy for a while.. I guess it did turn out rather well for the Americans and Canadians in the long run.
But we have ours now.
We don't need to share anymore.
Except INSIDE our borders.
With fat, pseudo common-men like, well, me.
Because, damn it, when I profit, that's simply an affirmation of my decency, every dollar amounting to a "vote of confidence" if you will (for me.. not for WalMart).

As always witty and a pleasure to read.
At least he does not peddle weight loss or excercise equipment.
Guess he hasn't talked to me as I lock my doors every night, and when I am alone in the house.
And I have never seen one of his distorted documentaries.
The only time we didn't lock our cars at night was when someone had escaped from a jail in Montana and was heading to AB, via backroads. We made the decision, leave the keys in the car, tank full and if he comes he just takes the car and goes. But the RCMP usually caught them in those hills.
Lol I loved it. The only reason to watch those documentaries is to see great examples of propaganda films.
