Michael Moore on Obama, The Media, and His New Movie, "Capitalism: A Love Story"

At a standing-room only event, Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore tackles the death of media, the promise and problems of the Obama era, and above all, his new film, Capitalism: A Love Story. With Americans losing their homes, jobs, and savings to foot the bill for past spending, Moore asks, "What is the price that America - and the rest of the world - must pay for its love of capitalism?"

The capitalist idiot blames capitalism????

There is no bigger capitalist than Moore. What he wants is socialism for the “little” people. he isn’t that stupid to want it for himself

“What is the price that America - and the rest of the world - must pay for its love of capitalism?”

The price we pay for capitalism is having to suffer no talent hacks like Mikee Moore becomeing multi-millionaires through paradoxical and hypocritical works that demand we forgo the very same opportunities that led to them becoming multi- millionaires instead of having to slog through an honest day’s labor like the rest of us. It is a small price to pay and ultimately preferable to an expansion of the decidedly non-capitalist policies of this country that led to people like Rahm Emanual also becoming multi- millionaires while tanking the economy and affording Moore a soapbox to disparage our last hope against his corrupt and fascist ideology from stripping us of our freedom, property and the sovereignty of our labor.

At least in the fifties and sixties we had delicious defections of morons to the Soviet Union where you would never ever have to hear from these pampered, self-indulged western idiots again!

There for a moment I thought it said Michael Moore on Oprah... That would be too much to take in one fell swoop I think.

He's an opportunist, not a capitalist. He does not think that it is fair that the people who invested in him had a choice in the matter, nor does he think its fair that they made money.

Yes, he wants to continue being rich, but he wants a world where he is recognized as worthy by the government and not forced to sell tickets. Crony socialism is what he is after. Crumbs for the peons with the elitists (like him) getting the cream off the top.
