*** FILM *** Michael Moore's "Capitalism: A Love Story"




I haven't watched all of his film. I watched "Sicko", which was fairly good.
I'm currently watching Michael Moore's "Capitalism: A Love Story". Very disappointed!
Sorry, but I prefer Capitalism (Free Market) over Socialism any day.

What is your take on Michael Moore? I agree, all his films pisses me off about Corporate America, lobbyist and especially Bush! We lived in such a beautiful country, yet the rich get richer and the poor ... well... we are screwed! I just felt Moore only puts clips together that support what he believes. A documentary is supposed to be based on facts. Both side of the story right? Michael Moore didn't really cover all the facts. With "Sicko"- I agree we have TERRIBLE health-care coverage in America. However he has forgotten to mention the long wait for medical care in Canada and how they come to us for more urgent care. Personally, I don't trust the government enough to run our health care system anymore than I trust Corporate America. The Government can screw us just like a corporation can. (Look at Social Security.)

With “Capitalism: A Love Story”, I agree that there are greedy people in Corporate America. Yet, we as Americans should also take responsibility for our own action. (Please don’t be mad @ me for saying this.) Majority of us tend to live beyond our means, we buy things we can’t afford and then we refinance to get ourselves into deeper debt. or file bankruptcy. People shouldn’t have purchase bigger house, when they can’t afford it. I also blame the bank/ for lending money to people who can’t afford it nor understand how different loan works. People need to do research when they are purchasing a big ticket item. They do research on a car before they purchase it, why not a house (loans). People need to learn to make sensible financial decisions.

Isn’t it hypocritical of him to make a movie about “Capitalism”, yet he’s capitalizing on it? “Credit Card Companies: The Corporate Loan Sharks ”- will be his next documentary.. haha

On a lighter note, I’M SO HUNGRY! I can’t eat for 14 hours, because I have to do some blood test tomorrow.

Have a nice weekend all.
