Michael Moore: All that caviar I wolf down (and believe you me, I wolf down a TON of that stuff) was not the fruits of capitalism

When he’s not making dishonest mockumentaries and getting tossed out of Barnhill’s for pulling up a chair to the dessert line, Michael Moore likes to spend his time biting the hand that feeds his ample mouth bashing the system that made him filthy rich.  Excerpt:

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 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.”
…
“You know, I had to pretty much beg, borrow and steal,” he said. “The system is not set up to help somebody from the working class make a movie like this and get the truth out there.”

This is what slays me about leftist jack#sses like him: economic ignorance.  You would think a guy that made a lot of money would have some basic idea about how said pile of money materialized.

He acts like it’s not capitalism that has allowed him to flourish.  Was it socialism that made him rich?  If so, I’d love to hear how that happened.  He thinks that coming from nothing and achieving what he has (even if by similarly dishonest means) is evidence that capitalism doesn’t work?  He thinks that overcoming obstacles and making it big isn’t a part of capitalism?

Clearly, he is no student of American enterprise.  Nearly every successful entrepreneur has had to overcome failures, doubts, criticisms, and economic obstacles to attain success.  Why does this talentless buttclown think he’s any different?
