On Current TV last night Michael Moore told host Jennifer Granholm that it was time for Democrats to “get off the couch” and organize against right-to-work victories.

Moore reminded Granholm that “right wing billionaires” were taking over the state legislatures to crush the middle class.

“They are out to destroy the lives of tens of millions of people, they don’t give a rat’s ass about any of this.” Moore warned. “Unless we get up off the couch, and get active and get involved they will win.”

Moore added that he was “optimistic about the future” because the Reagan generation was dying.

“The older generation that really was behind Reagan, you know, if were 55 or 60 years old in 1980, when Reagan ran, you’re dead now,” Moore said. “They’re not alive, they left. And when they left, you know, things got better.”
