Michael Moore has sunk to a new low with his most recent movie, Capitalism: A Love Affair. In the film, he concludes that capitalism, the basis of the American economy, is “evil.”
In ‘Capitalism,’ Mooore asserts that the profit motive ruins the lives of good people and that business owners have only the interest of their business at heart, not the interests of the people. He also argues capitalism benefits the rich and condemns people into poverty.
Moore is wrong, on all fronts... The beauty of capitalism is that a company’s drive for profit does not contradict the interests of the people, the consumers... Under a competitive, capitalist economy, a company cannot burden its consumers with unreasonably high prices because similar companies will welcome their business; the same goes for workers and salaries.
What I find to actually be “evil” is the manipulation and degradation of American workers by these anti-capitalists. They strive to make employees of companies feel like they need the government to speak for them, because they cannot speak for themselves. Anti-capitalists devalue personal success and individual strength of workers, while instead stressing government dependency. It is the capitalist that realizes the value of hard work, and rewards it. It is the capitalist that recognizes employees can speak for themselves through the measure of their work, rather than rely on the hand of government to distribute “to each according to his need, from each according to his ability.” The fact of the matter is that the government cannot encourage workers to rely on themselves. It can only encourage them to rely on the government and feed its crave for more power. It is an insult to mankind that we should need such a regulating force, that we cannot hold our own by the value of our work.

Yet he expects us to pay to see his movie.
So, how exactly did Michael Moore get rich? He’s a typical liberal hypocrite.
Michael who?
F**k off Mr. Moore...
Difficult to do....he’s full of too much gas (have you seen the latest photo? I could make 3 suits out of his one - not that I would want to).
Michael Mooron is just another one of those retards who’s blaming capitalism for what is caused by government interference. Like most of its critics, he wouldn’t know what true capitalism is if it were a wrench and someone hit him over the head with it.
Of course, without Capitalism nobody would have any money to spend on frivolous entertainment like watching movies. Capitalism is pretty much the mother of Hollywood!
Who is Michael Moore and why is anyone paying attention to what he says?
Aaah communism. I always like to imagine what it would be like being the bureaucrat given the job of deciding how many lightbulbs the state owned factory should, make and how much they should be sold for, knowing all the while if you get it wrong you could be shot for being an enemy of the state. And when you finish, they hand you stainless steel fork file.
Authoritarian (fascist, socialist, communist, all pigs from the same litter) governments killed over a hundred million people last century through wars they started, genocide, starvation to control the population and plain old murderous thuggery. That is what Moore wants to replace our free market economy with.
There is a much better way Moore can do us all a favor that is more significant than just shutting up. I’ll leave it to the imagination of those reading this as to what that way might be.
Michael Moore is big and fat
A better one would be Michael Moore a bag of sha*
Mikey, I do not see you working for free.
Oh, he must hate that, having to accept money for his film in this despicable capitalist regime. Someone must be forcing him to charge. I'll bet he has already lined up just how to share that wealth and we'll see the benefits straight away. /sarc, major sarc
He's getting rich and staying fat off the system he demonizes for others. Typical commie socialist. 'Don't try this yourself, kids, ch-ching...'
I don’t want to see this movie, but if I did, I would most certainly consider sneaking in for “free” in the spirit of it.
Capitalism is what enables him to make his money and live so fancy, right, Mike?
