(CNSNews.com) -- Documentary film director Michael Moore, who has become a millionaire thanks to the profits from his movies, told CNSNews.com that “capitalism did nothing” for him.
CNSNews.com spoke with Moore on the red carpet at the Uptown Theatre in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday night before the premiere of his upcoming documentary, “Capitalism: A Love Story."
CNSNews.com asked: “Critics may say, when they see this movie, Michael Moore has amassed a fortune of over $50 million, some have said and –”
Moore said: “Really? Are you kidding me? Seriously? Wow. Where did it go?”
CNSNews.com then asked Moore: “Critics would say he’s [Moore] been very successful under a capitalist system. How would you justify making a movie where you paint capitalism as evil?”
Moore said: “Well, capitalism did nothing for me, starting with my first film.”

- the apartment on the Upper West side
- tuition for the private schools for your children
That is just a start.
Capitalism had nothing to do with purchasing the condominium located around the X on the map below, with a view of the ocean and the park. Pretty nice view.
Hard to imagine you enjoying the view and that apartment, valued at more than $1.5 million, without capitalism. Then again, I have never understood buying space in the air - which is really all you have, and paying so bloody much for it, however much of a walkers paradise your location is, to everything - it doesn't do you any good. You could invest a little in capitalism and buy a treadmill. Would do you much better in the long run than any film you produce - you will live longer and won't be buried in a piano case.
