For some, it is better to be thought a fool and keep your mouth shut,

rather than speak and remove all doubt.

Stick to acting Matt.

hahaha. Wow.....another actor who thinks he's smart. I like his movies but if he wants to live in a socialist nation he should go to europe. Just like Tom Hanks thinking he's a political genius....please....nobody but unintelligent actors in hollywood want to hear you talk.

Yea he clueless just like are president .Art linkletter said it the best , most of hollywood don't live in the real world.

We all need to remember that the actors and rock stars that think they know how to fix the world are

your old classmates that sat cross-legged, and ate their lunches on the high school cafeteria floor.

[Adam Montana]

He's never had much in the intelligence department, as evidenced every single time he opens his mouth regarding politics - it amazes me that I like his movies!

[kwg]

I'd pay 50% taxes if I made 15 million for every 3 month stint on a movie. Maybe he should just pay a 100% since he is so smart and help us all out. I'm in the camp that if you want to pay more then pay more so the others don't have to pay as much. Give him 50K a movie instead of 15 mil and see if he changes his mind. I'm sure Bamma will take it he is offering.

The bashing continues. Here is a man who is doing what he loves and getting wealthy doing it. Nothing wrong with this. Money has always followed attention.

Here is a man speaking from his heart about what he believes and who are any of you to denigrate his observations. Do you think the press seeks him out to

embarrass him? Well especially if he always has something to say which seems out of line with mainstream media. So what. I say call the press and tell them

your name and that you want to make a statement about the economy. I am laughing here cause not many of us rate a news crew. But if you look at this man, he is comfortable in his own skin and how many of you can say the same thing.

[usndiver]

Limousine Liberals tring to save the world with everybody elses money. Damon and those like him live in a bubble where everyone and everything revolves around them.

A wise once wrote it's better to sit there and look foolish than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

[Kaduku]

Screw Damon and all you CORRUPTED liberals out there!!!! You are all OUT OF TOUCH OF REALITY. This STUPID Obama is DESTROYING AMERICA exactly the way he and his clowns had planned it way before this LIEING FOOL ever got in to government office. Wake up AMERICA and DEMAND that Obama be IMPEACHED for Incompetency, No Leadership, Corruptive/Socialist agendas, Forged B/C, Use of Illegal SSN, and most of all too damn STUPID.

If this IDiOT wants to impress me, he would have to agree that he needs to pay 95% taxes, cause he ain't worth the money he makes anyway. If he had to actually make a real living, he wouldn't have this attitude. He is just talkin' crap to let people know he makes too much. What a jerk, so he's comfortable in his skin, what does that have to do with, well, anything. Liberals in Lollywood spew stupid Liberal crap all the time, mainly to get another picture deal from some other idiot Liberal that gets off from it. As far as your comment "cause not many of us rate a news crew" degrade yourself all you want, but I'm sure a lot of people on this site are above your comment, getting a Liberal news crew to a Lollywood idiot is like getting a news crew to a train wreck.

This reminds me of the time when Kerry lost the presidential election to GWB and Jon Bon Jovi was sitting on the curb crying. I mean after all ....aren't these people the heart and soul of America?????? :oAaaaaaayyyyyyyyy ....i guess a lot of money can effect ones psyche...remember WHEN you RV and you have your wealth it does not come with a license to be obnoxious ,rude, impatient, and just plain ugly to people.

I wish I would have thought to say that. Brilliant, well said!

Good points, indeed. The buffoonery and arrogant ignorance exhibited on this site is amazing. No wonder if the Iraqi govt. continues to laugh at the simpletons they probably view many of Americans to be. I know i do. Harvard attendees being called stupid by people here is just laughable.

My aren't you easily impressed. Just because someone attends Harvard, you think they are impressive. I would think that makes you the simpleton and actually laughable. The only thing that impresses me about someone that attended Harvard is, one they graduate, and two that they don't waste that education by becoming a Liberal blowhard.

Matt Damon, an American actor, screenwriter, and philanthropist, is the founder of H2O Africa, which is a part of the Running the Sahara expedition. In 2009, it merged with WaterPartners to create Water.org. He is also one of the founders of Not On Our Watch, along with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle and Jerry Weintraub.

Its funny how everyone is bashing this man, this man gives up more money to charities than you can imagine. Whens the last time you gave a homeless man a dollar.

So he does great things with HIS money. Why would he advocate giving the ignoramouses in Washington more of HIS money, that would take away from his ability to give to great causes of his choosing? I guarantee those idiots in Washington could not do as well with HIS money. It just does not make any sense. In other words...If the Government takes more from him, does he not have less to give to the causes HE wants to give to? The Government will only waste it.

[AZ Native]

I would LOVE to see a list of all of the HOLLYWOOD ELITE who DONATES HALF of all their PAYCHECKS to the USA.

[grand pubah]

I hear Matt Damon is half marxist. The other half is idiot.

Which means he could at least do as good of a job as our current administration.

Oh, the pain you inflicted is unbearable. What a shame you are still you and I am not in the least impressed with your feeble pettiness.No further attempt is necessary. Enjoy the trip down River Styx.

Personally I like Matt Damon as a action actor but that is about as far as it goes. The boy makes money hand over fist for acting and has probably never had to really work for what he has, never had to walk to work as a teenager 2 miles to and from work 5 days a week for minium wage and save his paychecks so he could use that money to buy his first car. But I think that Matt needs to shut the hell up and stop thinking that sense he is a hollywood elite that he has the ability to speak for me. I like to keep the hard earned money that I make so that I get to enjoy MY money and not watch thousands of illigal aliens spend my tax money on steak and lobster at the HEB with their food stamps cards and I can barly buy hamburger meat and gas to put in my car. So Matt here is a Shut The Hell Up from ME to YOU.... Just keep enjoying that OBAMA Koolaid and be sure to add plenty of sugar because down here where the real people live it pretty freaking sour.... :angry:

[haymon]

How about we look at the other end. Stop the hemorrhaging of our money and then we all can keep our money.

Remember, spend less, save more. Does Dubai collect taxes??

You give to charities for a tax write off. Clooney and pitt are all a bunch socialist wannabees that want to change america in their own disturbed minds. Clooney made a commment about charleston heston when he was diagnoised with old timers diesease that he was happy he had it . Nice guy. Oh and most of these idiots don't live in the states they live overseas in their little tax havens
