Michael Moore at the Washington premiere of Capitalism: A Love Story
We continue our examination of Michael Moore and his new film, Capitalism: A Love Story :
• A 90 percent top tax rate. Moore says in the film that the top tax rate for the richest Americans when he was growing up was 90 percent. We found that was the marginal rate back then and rated it Mostly True.
• Growing youth support for socialism? In the film, Moore suggests that the Joe the Plumber episode, which led to criticism that Barack Obama would pursue socialism, actually increased support for socialism among young people by Election Day. We rated that False.
