Big Fat Stupid Hypocrite
In mockery of his book “Stupid White Men,” I have decided to post this article about Filmmaker, Author, and Regular Joe, Michael Moore. I recently found this written in the Arizona Republic by columnist Jonah Goldberg. “Moore told the IRS his home is the headquarters of his tax-free foundation, to which he contributes some of his millions for the write off.” This is a smart move. “The foundation’s holdings include Halliburton shares.” This is not a smart move.
Moore has made millions off of bashing corporations like Halliburton, Pfizer, and Ford. Turns out he owns stock in all three. I guess GM is bad for moving out of Flint but Ford is ok because they pushed Detroit into poverty. So not only does he publicly prey on these companies and make them out to be “thugs” and thieves, he makes money behind the scenes by selling their stocks.
Moore’s “foundation” has given $32,000 to charity. It seems like a lot of money to me but when Moore is worth somewhere in the tens of millions of dollars range, it’s pocket change. Hell I donated $1,200 a year when I only made about $5,000 when I was a freshman in college. I’m more of a philanthropist than this hypocrite. And I won’t even go into Moore’s preferential hiring habits that all but include colored people.
In his book, “Stupid White Men,” Moore claimed to have never owned a single share of stock. I guess times change after one becomes a stupid white man. After millions of dollars are acquired from destroying the images of men that one envies. Maybe he didn’t own stock at the time but it wasn’t because of the reason he claimed, “morally worng” but because he hadn’t made enough money to buy them yet.
