Michael Moore is a heartless moron and proved so by picking on Charlton Heston. C'mon the poor man has Alzheimer's disease. Michael Moore believes that the wealthy should pay a tax rate of 80-90%, which is absolutely ridiculous. People should pay no attention to the extremists on both sides (i.e. Michael Moore, Al Franken, Jerry Falwell, etc.) In my opinion, extremists make each side look foolish.

Extremists make for good news.

A 10 percent flat tax rate on incomes over 50 thousand a year without deductions or exceptions would net more income for the federal government than what we do now.

But thats a really conservative idea.

Nice.

Do you realize how much unemployment that alone would create though?

Accountants, tax lawyers, IRS agents..

Bless your heart, you are so much nicer than I am . . . I can't seem to find it in my heart to be upset that Tax lawyers are out of work . . . they will have to start chasing ambulances :)

I know a very nice tax attorney :D

I think he went onto oil and gas though. I personally don't like the fact that we have to hire out experts just to figure out what we have to pay the government.

It shouldn't be that damned hard. I don't think that's a Republican or Democrat idea.. it's not conservative or liberal.. it just makes too much sense to happen.

I could go for a 10% flat tax. :)

No, I think Disney distributed this one. At least, I remember contrversy surrounding this film and Michael Eisner. haha, he's such a dumb ass.

No, Disney didn't distribute the movie...that's a whole other story though...

I think there's a thread already on the topic.

I think the FNC reporter meant it was a good film. Which it was, it wasn't factual, but Moore never said it was 100% factual. Plus, Fox News Channel was the first cable news network to come out and give an honest report on the movie.

adduncan 07-19-2004 07:16 PM

Contrary to some simplistic ideas about FNC, Fox does have some liberal commentators on its staff. Friedman is one of them, if you follow his columns on foxnews.com

That is all.

Except you might want to take the sentence out of context and not just a few words. There is a difference.
