The media is all a flutter about the upcoming release of Michael Moore's Capitalism: A love story.
Michael Moore's overly simplistic definition of Capitalism is "legalized greed". He uses the example of a pie on a table cut into ten slices and one guy at the table says "Nine of those slices are mine... and the other nine of you can fight over the last slice, that's the kind of economy we have now".
But honestly, look at the pie... someone grew the fruit in the pie, someone grew the sugar, someone grew the wheat in the crust. If I go to the store, buy the canned fruit, sugar, flour, eggs... spend two hours in the kitchen whipping it all together, bake it in the oven, and put it out on the table before you...
ALL TEN OF THE SLICES ARE MINE YOU COMMUNIST ASSHOLE!!!
The government that we have today is completely out of control and the problem isn't capitalism, it's socialism. The founding father's understood well the dangers of Democracy, which is why they established a Republic. In Michael Moore's deranged world-view a majority vote is a moral vote... it's the classical example of "tyranny of the majority" and why we have a constitution in the first place.
Michael Moore's problem is he thinks he's entitled to the pie at all! In Michael Moore's world, the government comes by and takes half (or more) of the farmer's fruit, half of the farmer's grain, half of the farmers wheat, and when you're done, comes and takes half your pie.
Moore: "Some things are just wrong. And this capitalist economic system that we have, it might have been right at one point, it's not right now. And I don't think we are ever going to put the genie back in the bottle. So we need to come up with something new to replace it. And I'm not talking about... This isn't a debate between capitalism versus socialism."
No Michael? What is it? Moore says "I'm actually suggesting go [sic] back to the roots of this country, democracy." Democracy? But democracy is not an economic system. What exactly is it that you are proposing? I bake the pie and the neighbors come over and vote on who gets a slice? One is left wondering, if it isn't socialism, exactly what is Michael Moore advocating?
Socialism: Masturbation in a closet. It feels good, but doesn't really do anyone any good.
AND MICHAEL.... STAY AWAY FROM THE PIE!

So did you go see the movie for purely journalistic purposes? I want to see it but I don't want to give one red cent to that pig.
You've nailed it. Moore's emotional illogic collapses under scrutiny like a cardboard box in the rain.
Good post!
You mean it isn't free? What kind of Capitalist BullSh*t is that?
Don't worry, I'm sure it will be aired on CNN in it's entirety eventually as journalistic reporting.
Actually the article is based on his capitalistic hawking of his latest drivel on Leno.
Opens Oct 2 at a theater near you?
Actually, in a Democracy, the rights and wishes of the minority trump those of the majority. That is pro-abortionists and pro-gay activists, who are in the minority, have gained so many "RIGHTS", and special protections. They count more then the rest of us.
Under a Constitutional Republic which this nation is supposed to be, it is one "one man, one vote, majority rule."
