Just saw "Capitalism: A Love Story" tonight. Smashing movie. Which looks at capitalism from a multitude of angles through the decades.
The movie makes a very compelling case that capitalism, especially corporate capitalism, with its undemocratic system of rewarding greed (Wall Street, AIG, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, etc) --- is ANTI-DEMOCRATIC. Is fundamentally at odds with democracy.
I am not talking mom & pop shops capitalism.
I'm talking about the very richest 1% at the top of the pyramid that owns 95% of this country's wealth.
This corporate system needs to die a certain death. This is a system that is morally evil.
Capitalism needs to be brought down, and replaced with DEMOCRACY, equality.
Please see this movie. The film has a terrific sense of humor, too, all the way through. As do many of Moore's films.
LOL..."Please see this movie"
please go to michael moore's toilet, scoop out a pile of his excrement and eat it.
Moore never has to worry about his bank account as long as he has folks like you who follow him no matter what.
oh and i just found this precious quote from Michael Moore...
"People like John Malone, myself and others who have been blessed,
we all ought to be in a 70% tax bracket with the money being used to provide such important services as a real universal and affordable single-payer healthcare system."
i am curious, why Moore doesn't simply place himself in this proposed federal 70% tax bracket (of course, that does not include his state income taxes, which, likely will be roughly 8% depending on the state he inhabits) and donate the money he makes over the current federal tax bracket he is in, all to charity.
but i guess if the government doesn't force him to pay 70%, such a principled man shouldn't actually put his money where his mouth is, huh?
