The same reason that Pee Wee Herman wears a bow tie and a small gray suit- it is a costume. I like Pee Wee's better, as it is more sincere.

Warren Buffet still drives a station wagon, lives in the same modest house he always has, and doesn't wear expensive clothing.

Some rich people don't like to use their money for materialistic things.

That's it.



I can't imagine why anyone would care?


I thought this country had PROBLEMS! Guess some don't and have to manufacture them.

It's the liberal pundit uniform.

I'm a centrist, but I can't deny this. If I turn on the news and see two debating politics, I can always tell the liberal from the conservative just by their clothes.

The conservatives are usually extremely neat, even though their style of dress could be from 2012 or 1962. You wouldn't know unless you look at the hair.

Liberals? Always total slobs. No ties or half-windsors slightly open. Never a suit, always a sport jacket if any jacket at all. The women are usually wearing cheap clothing of the wrong size. Both have their hair is all screwed up. Oh, and their posture is atrocious.

I think Mike has the uniform down pat.

His mother was a secretary and his father was an assembly line worker. Unlike, let's
say Andrew Breitbart, he wasn't a part of the Lucky Sperm Club and born with a silver
spoon in his mouth.

why do politicians roll up their sleeves when they go campaigning in the rural areas?

To downplay their wealth

One of my sister-in-laws moved to Michigan. She went from dressing fashionably to dressing pretty sloppy. She said that people in Michigan dress pretty "casually" -- so I think Moore probably fits right in there.

I still haven't read exactly HOW a blue collar worker dresses....do they all wear denim shirts?

Somebody mentioned how union workers dress.....WHAT exactly do they wear that identifies them to you when you see them walking down the street.


I knew/know people from lotsa different jobs ....they dress all different ways....

When I was young and worked for a union "blue collar" shop I bought new, trendy expensive outfits almost every week ...when I went out with friends no one could've picked out the execs from the 'blue collars'.


Why is everyone in here so biased??

May not have been a silver spoon, but I guarantee he was born with a spoon in his mouth and it hasn't stopped shoveling food in his mouth since.
