Michael Moore: "America is not broke"

The documentary filmmaker was in Wisconsin yesterday, slamming Republicans for cutting union benefits

Michael Moore has a message for Wisconsinites:

Contrary to what those in power would like you to believe -- so that you'll give up your pension, cut your wages, and settle for the life your great-grandparents had -- America is not broke.

The claim came at the beginning of a speech delivered by the documentary filmmaker and liberal firebrand at the Wisconsin State Captiol yesterday. Over the course of 30 minutes, Moore railed against Republicans, who he accused of misleading the American public when they claim that government can't afford to spend money on expenditures like pensions and union wages. You can watch the entire speech below.
