Michael Moore applied for Michigan taxpayer money to make ‘Capitalism: A Love Story’
In his 2009 film “Capitalism: A Love Story,” Michigan native Michael Moore went to Wall Street with a request to corporate officials whose companies received bailout money from the federal government.
“We’re here to get the money back for the American people,” Moore said in the film. “I’ve got more bags — $10 billion probably won’t fit in here.”
Moore was criticizing an economic system he calls “legalized greed,” but the Mackinac Center has discovered that Moore’s movie qualified for a windfall — at the expense of Michigan taxpayers.

No surprise here. This guy tried to tell the American people he wasn’t even a millionaire when the movie came out. Whats with these guys telling us they aren’t rich? Are the American people so jaded that we now hate successful people? Its kind of like when Michelle Obama went out and told everyone she shops at JCREW. Wake up liberals there’s nothing wrong with being successful!
Well besides the fact it makes you a capitalist pig right?
