Good points. In the ads for Moore’s latest progadanda film he uses the AIG bailout to mock Captitalism.
The thing is, the AIG bailout was an affront to Captitalism, it was Socialist. If Moore hates taxpayer bailouts of corporations, (as I do) he should embrace true Captilalism.
.i.e. selling mortgage insurance without cash to insure anything is really a moral issue......it is not an issue of regulation. (either stiffle economic growth, or impossible keep up with changing world). We have removed all moral basis for anything in this country—especially in public schools, we have no conscience, we murder 1.3 million children a year with barely blinking, capitalism won't work without a moral foundation of respect for private property and honesty.
Chris Dodd and Barney Frank are a reflection of the loss of any moral foundation.
The Republican party has missed a huge opportunity here....
