Michael Moore: Capitalism is Evil!
VENICE (Reuters) - Capitalism is evil. That is the conclusion U.S. documentary maker Michael Moore comes to in his latest movie "Capitalism: A Love Story," which premieres at the Venice film festival Sunday.
Blending his trademark humor with tragic individual stories, archive footage and publicity stunts, the 55-year-old launches an all out attack on the capitalist system, arguing that it benefits the rich and condemns millions to poverty.
"Capitalism is an evil, and you cannot regulate evil," the two-hour movie concludes.
"You have to eliminate it and replace it with something that is good for all people and that something is democracy."
The bad guys in Moore’s mind are big banks and hedge funds which "gambled" investors’ money in complex derivatives that few, if any, really understood and which belonged in the casino.
Meanwhile, large companies have been prepared to lay off thousands of staff despite boasting record profits.
The filmmaker also sees an uncomfortably close relationship between banks, politicians and U.S. Treasury officials, meaning that regulation has been changed to favor the few on Wall Street rather than the many on Main Street.
He says that by encouraging Americans to borrow against the value of their homes, businesses created the conditions that led to the crisis, and with it homelessness and unemployment.

More childish propaganda from Fat bag O Shit! :rolleyes:
Obama might even blush! :rolleyes:
That "uncomfortable relationship" has little to do with Capitalism. It is a direct result of the mixed economy that Left have been promoting for decades. The kind of Corportate Good Citizenship in exchange for regulation policy that helps their business. This is another great example of what happens when government meddling causes waste and corruption. Capitalism is blamed because somebody wheeling and dealing in Washington DC made a profit.
And take note of his comments about Democracy as a tool to eliminate Capitalism.
I take it he means the majority is empowered to vote away your property rights. Because that is what is sounds like to me.
A street Mob! :rolleyes:
