Michael Moore on The Today Show: 'Send Your Pennies to Goldman Sachs'

[bluemontanaskies]

Why is Michael Moore one of the few with the balls to say the truth! Long live MM! I'm a Repub by the way....and fuck these greedy bastards!

[Thisawareness]

Al Gore Carbon Credit Lord

According to Deborah Cory Barnes, author of The Money and Connections Behind Al Gores Carbon Crusade, Al Gore started Generation Investment Management (GIM) with co founder Hank Paulson. Remember him? Yes, he was the Treasury Secretary. Guess what? Yes, he is also the former CEO of Goldman Sachs. (Didnt Goldman Sachs just get billions in Federal Reserve pledges, bailouts, and or Tarp?)

Another scam to fleece working & middleclass people out of more of their money

[rumco]

Moore is a socialist and doesn't understand why the collapse occurred. He should learn some Mises or Rothbard.

[SupremePenguinTone]

@rumco yeah everybody who doesn't think the sun shines out of capitalism's ass is a socialist, or a nazi, but then again obama has that spot already doesn't he?

[rumco]

@SupremePenguinTone No. Moore is dumb because he doesn't realise that what he's against is corporatism, not capitalism - big corporations in bed with government. Capitalism (understand as individual freedom, free market) brought the prosperity in US. In capitalism, firms that made mistakes don't get bailouts. Neither they can use government to get rid of competition. He doesn't realise that what he's asking for is exactly why the economy is so messed up in the first place.

[SupremePenguinTone]

@rumco the economy is messed up because of socialism? america implemented socialism? and if you knew the first thing about history you'd know when america thrived the most economically they were implementing a system very similar to an easy going form of socialism (90% taxes for the rich etc).

[mraindog81]

Which private school did you go to?

[rumco]

@mraindog81 Your attitude is another reason why not only your country is heading towards despotism. I attended state schools. Do you have anything relevant to say?

[mraindog81]

I go to a state school, too. I am an out-of-state student, yet it is still very affordable. Also, this country recognizes that literacy is important, so, when I want a book, I can borrow one for free. Sending a letter is cheap, too, because of this thing called the U.S. postal service.

[rumco]

@mraindog81 There is no such thing as FREE schooling or FREE library. It has to be paid for by someone (taxpayers). And no, this country cannot recognise anything because country is an abstract concept, did you mean politicians or "we the people" ? Public schools performance is terrible, no wonder everyone would rather put their kids to private schools. And no, it;s not just about throwing more money at it, the socialist system of public schools, healthcare etc.

[dravreh]

Investers are just overpaid gamblers....who gambles with other peoples money! WTF! Call your congressman right now!

[7711ish]

Modern slavery at work here. They are just taking our paid wages back. These corporations are so technologically advanced that they know what your thoughts are. No joke! Watch "Dr Colin Ross on C.I.A mind control"

[smujismuj]

Matt Lauer is pathetic.

What a corporate brown-nosing puppet.

I remember when there used to be JOURNALISTS in this country.

[smujismuj]

Capitalism's Legacy:

Profit Before Life

[TimLivelyUnearthed]

The richest 1% in the US are so blind that they dont see the revolution coming. A leader will emerge out of all this and will rally the poor into a class war. I dont want to see that. It will be a bloody mess and the objective will be lost. If they would only share the wealth a little more, poor people would be pacified. Their greed is so huge they will wind up killing themselves and the rest of us with them. The dumb greedy basterds are creating an enemy within that will tear the US apart.

[g0sty]

DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR!!! I will not allow my children to be puppets to these people, like my parents ignorantly did to our generation. It is very easy to turn your head and believe this is all not happening. It is even harder to come up with a solution when a venemous snake is sucking away all the life that is left in our economy, till evidently they crash the market AGAIN, and New World Order currency is released.

[CO2Junkie]

It's great that people are getting annoyed. But there is a huge problem. And that is the right-wing propaganda machine (Fox News et al) are attempting to direct the anger of that mob at those in government that want to help us plebeians. (eg. Obama)

[lucius1976]

Suicide bombers and Goldman Sachs headquarters. Why not bring them together? I believe they would fit perfectly.

[clintdanz]

America better be careful because in this kind of economy there could be a new government that could form that could be close to Hitler's regime, you think I am wrong? Look at your history books again.........this is getting scary!

[ddean1987]

moore is right. people are scared of "regulation" but nothing has been done.

[DebtorsRevolt]

Mike in the 80's we a Grass Root Movement tried to topple the pyramid' via one of our movements was called "Penny For Your Thoughts" I was the one who delivered the pennies to Sen. Mitch McConnell boy was that a JOKE! Message me if you would like to hear that story sometime.

It always has been and will likely always be 'Government & BIG Business' holding the purse strings I cannot give up hope for 'change' or surely I would die.

While I can hardly walk now I can see and it's GETTING WORSE! THX

[hansson2000]

the huge problem with american problem is that american politics is aloud to get money threw businesses.. and the large problem is that the goverment is so small that they cant use any state anilyz .. ur state go to the best in da industry and that is private companies.. do they work for the societys good?

[savedarrenshouse]

all they do is take take take until they need money from the government then they take some more

[amp1616]

bottom line....all- for- profit organization lobbyists should be BANNED!!! case closed!!!

[dkittv]

Cunts are still running the world... as they say.

[liveguns]

its about that simple yeah, shitty people are still running the world.

[NewRevolutionLeader]

Yes they are and I say that capitalism fuels greed and ghettos.

[gonzo361]

no it doesnt socialism fuels the proverty of dependant minorities. the 1st and the 15 i see my neighbors waiting for there welfare check they had no drive to start a buisness the only business i see started is drug dealing and that could easily be solved the way we solved prohabiton but that another socialist burden on society

[NewRevolutionLeader]

I do not like the idea of welfare either so we agree on this because it makes people in ghettos rely TOO MUCH on the government. If you hate socialism completely then get rid of your poice, fire department, schools, and alot of other tools of SOCIALISM because they are all free services.Why is health care treated as something that doesn't need to be given but it's ok to put alot of money into schools that not everyone go to or police that not everyone uses.You do not make since why let them die.

[gonzo361]

the services you mention are the role of what the goverment is to play in society but these services are not free they are funded through our tax dollars so when i here socialist liberals say they want to bulid up the welfare state i ask are they unaware this raises tax prices on society and are they not aware our goverment is just as greedy an example of this is social security medicare medicaid an abuse of our taxpayer money

[NewRevolutionLeader]

No we pay taxes for them and now I can school you. We will take the same tax payer dollars going into medicare medicaid and apply it to free health care instead which is more efficent and already proven overseas that people live longer than they do here. Tell me why are you against everyone having free health care if you talk about corruption then look no further than private corporations and companies including our government too. Free health care though will be no different than police or ect.

[gonzo361]

so cut the medicare and medicaid limit the care to the elderly is what you offer ask yourself why are the doctors not being involved in the discussion this is more bueracracy to raise our tax dollars if its such a success overseas why is canada trying to allow private insurance companies back in. it is illegal when corpartion commit corruption but it is slavery when the goverment commits it on the tax payer

[NewRevolutionLeader]

Yes exactly and transfer the whole system of medicare medicaid to the dump and replace it with free health care and also take all the tax money that goes to bullshit programs and put it toward free health care it's that simple.Doctors are not getting involved with shit because who BITES THE HAND THAT FEEDS THEM.Doctors do not want to upset the these health care companies. It's all for the LOVE OF MONEY. 70 to 75 percent of Canadanians like their free health care and live longer than we do dummy.

[gonzo361]

now i was debating with you respectfully but now the left in you comes with your childish name calling tactics. the only dummy i see in here is the man willing to give his earnings to the same group of crooks that rob our medicare system in hope they may be honest with there tax dollar this time dont bother responing when name calling begins people stop listening

[NewRevolutionLeader]

Fuck you and the left talk I am a registered independent and own more guns than you do I bet. Your the type of person who sits at a comp all day while I work hard to pay the taxes you do not. Free health care is proven to work in every country it's in but your idea of big government is fucking stupid I haven't heard you argue against the patriot act or torture these are tools of big government but yet when it comes to free health care it's sure to send a tingle up your leg.

[wtfdoihavetodohere]

Private healthcare providers exist in Canada as an alternative for those who want to avoid public providers. Most people, however, are satisfied with the public program. Canadians pay $45 buck/month ONLY + taxes that are similar to ours, for the average person. The end result is a public healthcare system that beats our private system by nearly every measure. But you wouldn't know this because they don't talk about that shit on fox news.

[gonzo361]

go watch a video by steven crowder an idapendent film maker he doesnt go in to a clinic with all his cameras showing like michael moore he did it undercover to show you exactly the truth about the canadian health care system and as for the taxes he covers that too obama care yay or nay is what the video is called

[wtfdoihavetodohere]

I will watch the movie but bearing in mind that it is probably bullshit propaganda.

I don't need to watch videos to know what its like in Canada. I live near the canadian border, my girlfriends family is canadian, and i meet many canadians and europeans through my work.

I like to discuss their healthcare systems with them, and they are overwhelmingly satisfied with what they have. There is no healthcare controversy in canada. Look outside the US if you want to truly understand this stuff.

[gonzo361]

try not to have such a bias view tell after you watch the video i sat through sicko and michael moore did spin on the healthcare of cuba on further investagtion of it the hospital he visited was made to support politians and the wealthy not the average tax payer. im live on the texas border so on health care outside the U.S i have expericance before i was in mexico

[Mrpantymelt]

the biggest problem with Canadian system is long waits for surgery and the talent drain of Canadians going to USA for ridiculous cash so in a way your stupidly overpriced system even brings us down indirectly. I dont mind paying a little more tax to help less fortunate Canadians, guess thats the difference we give a shit. about our own.

[gonzo361]

so what your saying is if you want to care right away dont go to canada cause the goverment there really cares alot about you a taxes the shit out of you and is gonna make you wait a long time before seeing a doctor but the evil american system will see you immediately. so if you had alife threaten cancer with a short amount of time wich system would you use

[TimLivelyUnearthed]

What are talking about gonzo361? The American system will see you immediately? You must have health care. I dont.

[TimLivelyUnearthed]

Im ashamed to say youre right.

We will be judged by how we treat the least among us.

[wtfdoihavetodohere]

Taxes already pay for all kinds of shit that you and your redneck buddies don't complain about. But as soon as someone wants to spend it to save some american lives in need of healthcare, well then you get ur panties in a bunch and scream COMMMMUNNNISSSSMMM!!!!!

And btw, welfare is a separate subject. People on welfare already have free medical. What "liberals" want is to re-write the rules so that people who DO work get the kind of coverage that they already pay for.

[wtfdoihavetodohere]

Public healthcare beats private. Period.

[atlantoon]

well said, thanks!

[dkittv]

Look up "running the world" by Jarvis Cocker. Pretty decent song and it's what I was quoting... it's very true though.

[gkgreger]

Free Trade Capitalism is another name for Globalization or World Government or Imperialism. The goal of Globalization is to destroy Independent Nation States & mix everyone together under one big Socialism or Communism. Those who are for Globalization are in Treason to the United States & its founding principals & must be called a traitor & kicked out of office. We must return to the Real American system & create a REAL REPUBLIC! Google: LPACTV: Audio Preview, The LaRouche Plan

[JayPhilosopher]

Congratulations to Michael. His film "Capitalism" just went over 11.6 million at the Box Office, becoming the 10th largest grossing documentary of all time. That means that 4 of the top 10 biggest grossing documentaries of all time are by him. He is the most successful documentary filmmaker in history. Nobody comes close. He must be doing and saying something that people want to see and hear.

[tom123ek]

Wal-Mart is not welcome in our neighbourhood. This is the message from the commerce trade unions from all over Europe. At their Conference in Stockholm, Sweden last week, the unions denounced world's largest retailer for its social dumping and poor employer record. Present in the United Kingdom and Germany, the company is expected to try to expand further.

It's a good one and TRUE on top of that

[log140]

found another one:

"Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies."

[biguy617]

don't believe the story about Michael Moore owning halliburton stock. That is a lie. Ask yourself? Would the first celebrity to ever speak out against the Iraq War actually own stock in the bigest war profiteer? Obvisously the story is a LIE!!!

[Sundrumify]

AnonymousTruther has a most revealing vid on his channel. A speech given by President Sarkozy.

Blessings,

[Sundrumify]

Dear Michael,

the next movie could be about secret networks, and their competing agendas,

the globalization of monetary channels, vital supplies like petroleum and natural gas, self-interests of the dominant superpowers of America and Western Europe, and the central question: who wants to control oil production? NWO, or New Order of the World?

Lisa

[Sundrumify]

Have been a managing director of a company with 400 people. Our mutual success was based on team-work, shared and lived values, moral standards, innovating, together.

Best from Munich, and Michael, I salute your work. You come across very balanced, and wise!

Lisa from Munich

[Sundrumify]

CEOs here in Germany, earn huge amounts of money, banks are crashing. CEOs salute Values and Mission Statements in their brochures. We face the network of the Deutschland AG. Do they have a mirror at home, asking themselves, why their salaries are unproportionally high to those of their employees? They do not need mirros, because they salute themselves, for all the great work they do. Feudal System´s RevivaI.

..... to be continued

[Sundrumify]

There is a camarderie between some of the more powerful groups mostly because they share an elite status in business, academia, or government. They are designed to help its members build greater wealth and influence through the members`s network of business and government contacts, like a high-powered network organization. "Best people are rewarded?" For what? The problem is, that they, among themselves, define, what winners are.

...... to be continued

[lordhighexecutioner]

Just like Russia!

[XxVidMakerxX]

He loves that foreclosure quote lol. Every 7.5 seconds, I still can't believe it. But hey, that's Capitalism.

[soccerdude601]

he has to keep saying because no one else in the media mentions that. it's like they just look the other way. the media is just as bad as the politicians in washington, democrats and republicans are to blame. we need campaign finance reform.

[Bozewani]

notice how much more time the Pro-capitalist guy has on the TV? media is owned by the capitalists..

Goldman Sachs sees the working class Christian's 401k's as their new promised land.

$100 to 10 yr Old stimulate eco

$100 to adult goes in wallet

$1M to xx+ Millionaire not stimulas

xx+ millionaire dies stimulates

Building Moats, Towers, & security stimulate economy.

Moore is right, Congress and Rich better do a better job or people will stimulate the economy with True Trickle Down Economics.

I hope our Reps will Represent the people and vote in true fairness.

Your jokes are lame... And I am a 16 year so I should know what lame jokes sound like because I hear lots of them in school.

Hitler in disguise is also pretty dumb to say since Hitler is dead, I know that that was a joke but come on...

[Happyanand69]

Did I say hitler? no I meant he's Mussolini in disguise.

And I wasn't kidding I was serious because I read it on some forum in some thread in a post that got posted by a guy whose name I FORGOT but I'm sorry, I'm not good at remembering names especially online names. But I'm pretty sure that it exists.

[mom4education]

CASH-FLOW BOYCOTT!

Go to your bank or your ATM. Withdraw cash. Or simply take CASH from your pocket.

Set that CASH aside.

Don't spend it.

Don't lend it.

Don't invest it.

Repeat weekly.

Contact congressman, media, neighbors, BANKS, the President.

Tell them that we won't lend, spend, invest this CASH until a gov. regulatory agency is formed to oversee the U.S. banking INDUSTRY and until the banks that STOLE U.S. taxpayer dollars have REPAID every penny.

NATIONWIDE!

[SubmarinerAndroid]

If people seriously started saving money (what a radical idea) as you recommend, what's left of our economy would collapse--in the short term. But maybe we need to hit that low sooner rather than later, before we can start growing again.

[macwild1234]

lol....Michael looks really sleep deprived in this interview.

[chadpopstar]

Michael is THE MAN!

[derleineangler]

and its michael moore and his audience that allows me to like this great country

[treid100182]

I'm Glad the Working Poor have at least Michael Moore FIGHTING for them...

...God Bless you, Mr. Moore.

[muratshawn]

Michael Moore....anyone still hating you,are the ones that should be deported...Michael Moore is the most honest most caring most truthtelling sense speaking man out there today,.....it amazes me how he points out stuff,not even reporters do....

Wall Street did not receive one single regulation after they begged for bailout??? not one....unbelievable,just unbelievable!!!

[Vektr1]

not even reporters do? i'm sorry, but in this country, most reporters are lying scum. look at fox news for example.

The USS United States of America is taking water and sinking fast.

The rats (a.k.a. walstreet, the bankers, the human life trafficking corporations and many more) are jumping ship, but they're taking as much shit as they can before it all burns up and sinks to the dark depths of 3rd world nation in a cataclysmic meltdown.

Mean while the rats are investing in China, Russia, and Europe, removing all wealth, further nudging the total destruction of the US.

[treehugger87]

solution: make lobbying illegal

[treid100182]

absolutely

[mossmatt]

The reason why most Americans do not call their congressman is because of their own apathy...

[MartinGist]

You have to ask yourself what the raptor capitalist class expects to happen when they have stolen all the mortgaged homes and put everybody out of work. Their master plan only works if their lapdogs are running the government and they can thereby use the deadly power of the state both to suppress citizen uprising and to make war on other warlord states. That's the world Bush, Cheney and all their neocon poppetmasters and henchpersons were in building. Are building.

[ryno99]

Your news in America is fucked. Presciption drugs, home security ads, id theft, credit scores. Scare people to death. Yeah thats freedom. Shit country.

[ifonlypeopleknew]

Well, The only thing we have left is Freedom of Speach.... Opps that right, thats going away too. What was this country built on again? Oh yeah, GREED....

[ryno99]

With all the murders in America why dont people murder the CEOs or the Goldman Sachs people? Freedom of Speech is being taken away by dumbfuck liberals. They are all for it, until you speak out about them. In Australia we call Xmas xmas and we have muslims, jews, etc. Fucking stupid country America. Both the right and left are fucked.

[christopherawesome]

You don't call it christmas?

[treid100182]

Fuck Matt Lauer

[greatbroad]

I agree with sending pennies to Goldman Sachs/ 85 Broad Street, New York, NY. Moore didn't get far enough to add the zip code, but I will look it up tomorrow. If someone wants to know it, too-- please let me know, and I'll be happy to post.

all the corporations who stand to profit from the CO2 fear mongering. Such as Goldman Sachs, who will be operate market

by which all the cap-and-trade trades are done. They stand to profit trillions of dollars over time from it and have a vested interest in getting legislation passed and promoting a fear? of something that is not based on solid science. Many of the scientists who were falsely cited as supporting Gore's findings have had to sue to get their names removed.
