I'm sure passengers will show up in droves after watching the movie to protest the unfair pay and benefits situation.... don't you think

As far as investments go? Talk to his investment advisor, as I'm sure MM is not a day trader.

From a recent article in Forbes:
The writer-director-propagandist has earned every penny and Euro of his boodle. Moore's last three filmed diatribes -- "Bowling for Columbine," "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "Sicko" --h ave amassed more than $300 million in theaters worldwide, and loads more on DVD; and "Fahrenheit" is, by a long stretch, the top-grossing documentary of all time.
P. T. Barnum was right.

If the films convey some amount of truth, then so be it. All good viewers should do their research before believing what they are presented. Bowling for Columbine was littered with errors. Since then, the films have had a lot more fact checking.

So he falsely depicts himself as a "regular joe". He probably lives a lifestyle that contradicts with what he says on his blogs or other press. So what?

Irony can be so ironic, don't you think?

All that being said....the fact that he is getting the facts about our pay out there is good in my opinion. I dont care if he's a millionaire or eating Top Ramen every night, at least he's getting the info out...regardless of where you stand on the political stage.

I've heard the same line from popular anti-establishment musical artists who sign onto a major record label, going against their independent roots.
I guess if you are going to be a revolutionary, you might as well get a little scratch on the side, right? Or, you could just donate it. Oh right, no one does that

Politics has nothing to do with it. Getting the "facts" out by being a lying hypocrite won't help any of us.
Even the most cursory fact check of any of his films will leave you gagging at the lies, half truths and fabrications. Not exactly the sort of support we need.
It does sell well with an uninformed public and that turns the trick. It is easy to fool most of the people much of the time.

If Moore was so anti capitalism, I would expect him to give all the money he earns to charity.
And just what is his stance on taxing "the rich"?

Agitprop is alive and well. If you can't be bothered to check the facts, the literature is full of the most baldfaced lies imaginable.
Creativity has found an outlet in propaganda, and it relies on a public without any will to find truth to keep flying.
The circus has come to town and set up a shabby tent.
Enter that tent at your own risk.
