Or he doesn't spend all his money helping the poor anyway. That lets them say things like "Michael Moore wants to take your money and give it to the poor, but when it comes to his own money he keeps it."

I got dinged debating with a conservative once because I took a deduction on my taxes. Same argument more or less.
