Micheal Moore Faces Criticism on Occupy Wall Street

The documentary filmmaker, Micheal Moore who has been active and vocal in the Occupy Wall Street movement since it began in September, faced criticism on his personal wealth and his involvement in a movement.

"I make my money the old school, honest way by making things. Some years I earn a boatload of cash. Other years, like last year, I don't have a job (no movie, no book) and so I make a lot less. 'How can you claim to be for the poor when you are the opposite of poor?!' It's like asking: 'You've never had sex with another man -- how can you be for gay marriage?! I guess the same way that an all-male Congress voted to give women the vote, or scores of white people marched with Martin Luther Ling, Jr. ... It is precisely this disconnect that prevents Republicans from understanding why anyone would give of their time or money to help out those less fortunate.

He also said:
"I am devoting my life to those who have less and who have been crapped upon by the system," he said. "And that's how I spend my time, my energy, my money on trying to up-end this system that I think is a system of violence, it's a system that's unfair to the average working person of this country."
