Michael Moore - Greedy Capitalist!!!
mr dude@harvarduniversity.edu
He claims he was cheated out of at least $2.7 million in profits from
his hit documentary.
February
Filmmaker Michael Moore has sued Harvey and Bob Weinstein, accusing
the brothers of “Hollywood accounting tricks” and “financial
deception” that cheated him out of at least $2.7 million in profits
from the hit documentary Fahrenheit 9/11.
In a lawsuit filed today in Los Angeles Superior Court, Moore says the
Weinsteins and an affiliated entity called the Fellowship Adventure
Group agreed to split profits from the film 50-50 but then diverted
monies to hide them from Moore.
The suit for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and
constructive fraud claims that in 2008 Moore conducted an audit of the
2004 film, which grossed $222 million worldwide, and “discovered
substantial irregularities in the accounting” that resulted in a
“gross underpayment to [Moore],” the lawsuit says.
mr dude (why do greedy people like Moore take more then they need????

You do realize Moore probably has a reall good case here?
Hollywood Studios have long made use of creative accounting
to show that movies "lost" money.
For example a movie like Titanic made $1,843,201,268 at the box
office, the budget was $200,000, but with creative accounting the
studio maintains that the movie actually lost money.
There is a long list of people cheated out of proceeds from
movies.

Of course in the contract when buying from Disney the Weinsteins
agreed to pay 60% of net profits they receive to charity... whereas
Moore has agreed to spend 50% at all you can eat buffets.

Libtards are always hypocrites!
I like how they say we need to help the "less fortunate" and punish
the "greedy rich". Well who gives more to the "less fortunate"???
Not Libs according to ABC News!!

To test what types of people give more, "20/20" went to two very
different parts of the country, with contrasting populations: Sioux
Falls, S.D. and San Francisco, Calif. The Salvation Army set up
buckets at the busiest locations in each city -- Macy's in San
Francisco and Wal-Mart in Sioux Falls. Which bucket collected more
money?
Sioux Falls is rural and religious; half of the population goes to
church every week. People in San Francisco make much more money, are
predominantly liberal, and just 14 percent of people in San Francisco
attend church every week. Liberals are said to care more about helping
the poor; so did people in San Francisco give more?
It turns out that this idea that liberals give more…is a myth. Of the
top 25 states where people give an above average percent of their
income, 24 were red states in the last presidential election.
Arthur Brooks, the author of "Who Really Cares," says that "when you
look at the data, it turns out the conservatives give about 30 percent
more." He adds, "And incidentally, conservative-headed families make
slightly less money."

And he says the differences in giving goes beyond money, pointing out
that conservatives are 18 percent more likely to donate blood. He says
this difference is not about politics, but about the different way
conservatives and liberals view government.
"You find that people who believe it's the government's job to make
incomes more equal, are far less likely to give their money away,"
Brooks says. In fact, people who disagree with the statement, "The
government has a basic responsibility to take care of the people who
can't take care of themselves," are 27 percent more likely to give to
charity.

The Church Connection
Finally, the single biggest predictor of whether someone will be
charitable is their religious participation.
Religious people are more likely to give to charity, and when they
give, they give more money: four times as much. And Arthur Brooks told
me that giving goes beyond their own religious organization:
"Actually, the truth is that they're giving to more than their
churches," he says. "The religious Americans are more likely to give
to every kind of cause and charity, including explicitly non-religious
charities."
And almost all of the people who gave to our bell ringers in San
Francisco and Sioux Falls said they were religious or spiritual.

Capitalism is eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil and a failure!
King: Are you saying capitalism is a failure?
Moore: Yes. Capitalism. Yes. Well, I don't have to say it. Capitalism,
in the last year, has proven that it's failed.
http://www.reuters.com/article/2009/09/06/us-venice-capitalism-idUSTRE5850F320090906
(Reuters) - Capitalism is evil. That is the conclusion U.S. documentary
maker Michael Moore comes to in his latest movie "Capitalism: A Love
Story," which premieres at the Venice film festival Sunday.
Blending his trademark humor with tragic individual stories, archive
footage and publicity stunts, the 55-year-old launches an all out attack
on the capitalist system, arguing that it benefits the rich and condemns
millions to poverty.
"Capitalism is an evil, and you cannot regulate evil," the two-hour
movie concludes.

The Red Cross will then turn around and sell that blood for $89
a pint.
Think about that the next time you donate blood.

Doesn't he listen to any of King Barry's rhetoric? At some time I
think you have made enough money! Wait, I forgot, socialism is for the
socialist, not the people.
