@kn9ioutom screw 'occupy wall street'!!! People are greedy fat pigs- who borrowed other peoples money then didn't pay it back- that's why we have a recession! If the people who borrowed it had paid it back, the institutions that were left holding the debt (triple A rated, incidentally), would not have been bankrupted! Full stop!
CAPITALISM MADE YOU A 1%'er YOU FAT SLOB. YOU'VE FED OFF OF PEOPLE'S FEARS TO MAKE OVER HALF A BILLION DOLLARS FOR YOURSELF. YOU CHIDE, DODGE AND OUTRIGHT REFUSE TO ANSWER REPORTER'S QUESTIONS ABOUT YOU BEING A CAPITALIST.
The problem is we don't have too many choices of systems to run society and they all become corrupt eventually - as humans we get the system we deserve at the time. Most of humanity behave as if they are here on a day pass - someone else will pick up the trash - we haven't yet learnt how to deserve this amazing planet we inherited, never mind the governments. We need bigger hearts and less "wind and piss".
No, the liberal media killed the newspaper industry. They print stories they thought the people should know from an incorrect liberal viewpoint and the internet interjected and said - no more you lying bitches!
who wants to read junk? good literature still sells. Our education system has been in the hands of Liberal Progressives for the last 50 years - and yes it is broken. NCLB was going to give schools six years! to fix themselves then they would be closed. Throwing money at problems do not fix them. Just look at the Billions we have thrown at Education and how it has steadily gone downhill.
michael moore is a capitalist and no michael this isn't 1847, we have things called computers and televisions which make newspapers obsolete...is it so hard to figure out why newspapers don't do so well!
I don't think i have seen a more worthless piece of crap than this fat pig. He got fired from GM for not showing up to work. He then got mad and started bad mouthing corporations. Sorry you fat pg, you actually have to show up to get a pay check. Funny, now your lazy fat ass can sleep all day and stink up your bed worse. Why don't women like you....you're rich and still not getting any.....LOL You suck fat boy!
I heard of this place called North Korea , that does not have this capitalism thing that everyone is complaining about. Why don't you move there and send me a postcard ? I will be here in the States.
people are sick of the constant lies/falsehoods/manipulations of the mass media! There is no such thing as a country with a free press- it is only a free press to those that control one- the fat cat multi-billionaire media businessmen! They refuse to have a free press because they are lying/manipulating the people, after all if what they are selling you is the truth, why deny equal access- a free press? They have a vested self-financial interest in lying to the people as it is more profitable!!!
Aaah Michael. Always up to your numbers games. There is one thing I certainly agree with: Education needs to be priority #1. However, newspapers went out because of the internet, dear boy. Not because people can't read. There was actually a higher illiteracy rate in 1940 than there is today BECAUSE of more private education being introduced. This guy never listened to his mentors.
I do not understand him. Is this correct that to attract more advertising and get more money for it, you still need to have more readers? If this is so, his first argument is pointless.
We need to break free from this left/right paradigm that is driving this country into the ditch. The right need to wake up to the fact that we aren't broke because of education or food stamps. We are broke because we give loopholes to encourage offscouring as the Fed pumps money to the banks that either won't lend to consumers or they give poor people subprime mortgage loans. The left needs to wake up. The Democrats are bought out by the banks and neocons too. The key is Campaign Finance Reform
What he says makes sense but I don't like the title. It isn't accurate. It's not Capitalism that is the problem its corporate statism. We have allowed corporations to be treated as people who can dictate the policies our politicians advocate for. The problem is corporations have their own agendas. They often don't coincide with the needs of the people. Corporate statism is not the free market. Our government has decided which business to prop up based on lobbying and not the common good.
We gave 2 properties back to the banks, one via bankruptcy,one on a shortsale. I say walk, give these lovely banking/wall street systems the same headache they gave YOU! Your credit will take a hit only for 7 years. Chap13 will allow you to pay off what debts you can and be a lesser impact.But staying in a house you paid 250K for when its now worth 125K with no rebound in the distant horizon, is just stupid. Give the same treatment right back to them,rent for half your mortgage man !
Really Moore? Charging companies to put ads in the newspaper but making them either free or dirt cheap for the reader means they care more about those companies they are charging?
Michael Moore made the bulk of his $25 million off Capitalism (GOOGLE - celebrity net worth). He disavows Capitalism by saying “Communism has won. Socialism has prevailed” watch?v=SRRe0EFdNpI
.
Michael Moore states that the “Rich should share the wealth” He states that the money of the rich is ours. watch?v=wzfd_sNw2-Y
Right, Moore’s biggest three movies; Bowling For Columbine, Fahrenheit 911 and Capitalism A Love Story have earned over $300 million at the box office. You need to get your facts straight. And Michael Moore falls in that 1% category.
@FreedomInAmerica Yes he released he movies TO GET HIS VOICE OUT THERE, he also put them online for free but your selective reading chose to ignore that,
yes he falls in that category and as stated he thinks it is ABSURD he is not paying higher taxes and he is right, why are bashing some trying to help the poor and labeling them communism which is such a lie and juvenile one at that.
@FreedomInAmerica He obviously cannot go through and distribute equal amounts of his money between everybody in the world. He more than likely donates to Charity's, it is pure stupidity to expect somebody who believes in equality to donate their money to somebody they do not even know exists.
@FreedomInAmerica Unless you have so observed everything Moore does, how can you be sure he does not donate? Just because he hasn't given to you, he hasn't given to anybody?
@FreedomInAmerica Michael Moore has been known to donate to charity's, however the sum of how much he gives annually is either random or unknown. There's really not much he can do.
@FreedomInAmerica You're obviously trying so hard to make Michael Moore out to be a major hypocrite, and granted he is a hypocrite. But, he has no reason to have to give up most of his wealth because a wanna-be Politician says he should. He's donated enough, and more than likely will continue to donate. "Checkmate"
Michael Moore states, “To me the solution is quite. First all we’re not broke… There’s a ton of cash in this country, trillions of dollars worth.” watch?v=wzfd_sNw2-Y I guess Michael doesn’t know that our debt is $14.5 Trillion with $114.6 unfunded liabilities. He also must not know that the average savings per family in America is $6,100 and the total debt per personal family is $669,000. (usdebtclock org). Yes, we are broke.
Michael goes on to state “There’s a finite amount. There is only so much cash…” Well if there’s only a ‘finite amount of cash’ then America is in real trouble, because the total debt per family taking into account our debits and credits is ~$663,000. He states he wants the wealthy to give up their fair share. Well, he needs to give up the bulk of his money to help others.
Then he’s free to sit their and judge other rich people for not giving up theirs. If he’s sitting on his fat arse judging rich people for not giving up all their wealth, but not giving up his $25 million, that makes him a hypocrite not worth defending.

Newspapers, internet, and television all are funded by advertisements. Capitalism is the American dream to accel above and beyond and advertisement is a side effect that also helps to generate income. In socialism eveyone is mediocre and even education is mediocre.
why are you such a dumb liberal who cannot think outside the box, Michael? It wasn't capitalism that killed the newspaper industry, haha (you fool) it was the Internet that killed it.
Why are you such a Liberal that you can't think outside the box, Michael? It isn't capitalism that killed the newspaper industry. Hahaha (what a fool) it was the Internet.
Michael More is totally on target. People read the news paper world wide, it's just the news papers in the USA are all owned and controlled by super media and they don't care about talking about news that matters, they are more concerned with publishing papers that fit with commercial interests and advertiser interests. This country no longer cares about the education of it's children. We are no longer #1, sate state of affairs.
Second, unless you've been under a rock you should know that paper in any form has taken a back seat to the internet - and not just newspapers. I recently threw away my dayplanner. Why? Because now that I own an ipad with a dayplanning app, what's the use? It was just more clutter.
This past New Years, some guy dropped off a freaking Yellow Pages on my doorstep. Are you serious? Who the hell looks in the physical Yellow Pages for anything. That's not capitalism. That's technology.
@SoooooRich actually the reason is newspapers, well the papers Moore likes are failing is like MM the newspapers are left-wing rags that most Americans don't care for. Btw, I still use the white and yellow pages book. I still use my non-compterize dayplanner, don't trust my day's schedule on a computerize ipad since they could crash or I may not get signal. Personally I think you were fine with the original dayplanner but it's your decision
@kevyster You're right on some level, but I'm talking about overall trends. Remember when television was still on an analog signal? It wasn't that long ago. Hell even the government knew it was time to get digital. My point is there are tons of businesses that will be forced to change - not because of capitalism, but because we've changed as a society. Yes, you may still use the white pages - and somewhere in this world there is a man still using a typewriter (smile). Again, I meant overall.
@SoooooRich sometimesI miss when tv was in analog. I would often rapidly switch to the playboy channel to get a glimpse of it,lol. You can't do that now since the switch from analog to digital cable boxes.I just don't see newspaper going from paper to 100% internet. I just don't want to trust computers,etc etc to do eveything. Plus I like the paper daily planner better becuase I don't have to worry about the battery dying, the ipad crashing or losing the signal.
Why do people listen to this guy? Nearly everything I've ever heard out of his mouth is wrong and ill informed. First, he implies that the problem with education is that we don't throw more money at it. According to the Department of Education, the U.S. spends in the range of $10,000 per pupil (5.7% of our GDP). If Moore's logic were right, the Japan would do worse than us because they only spend 3.6% of their GDP on education.
@NHMntnHIGH 40 million functional illiterates...i bet you do not even know what a conglomerate is... look up his documentary on health care in america compared to France, Britain (and the other 20 names associated to the country) and Canada. if you think he is an idiot. Fine. but at least he finds facts to support his answers unlike Bill Oreilly
And one more thing Mr. Moore, would you really have us believe that we education spending in this country is going down?
It isn't. You on the left call it a cut when you don't raise it as much as you wanted to. But if I spend twice as much as last year, but half as much as I wanted to, that's in your estimation a cut.
We spend much more on education than we ever did, but thanks to teachers unions, we spend it on inferior teachers who can't be fired. The Dept. of Education is worthless.
Energy sources without the need for fuel or energy input exist ,But the coverup is very strong,Get the blueprints for a real Magnet motor free enegy machine at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,The revolution begins!
They HAVE it, but they don't live on it the way the US does. One only has to look at how ebay hasn't really taken off in Europe compared to the US. Also Japan is more of a phone/PDA culture than an internet one.
@biantai888 I think what he meant is that once newspapers started to depend more on ads, these companies that put out the ads started to have more of a say on what gets put out and what doesn't. i.e. they won't put their ads in if they feel that a story is threatening to their survival.
@biantai888 I think this question deserves more than my comment can give. However, i do believe that our gov has been overly reliant on what the markets can provide the american people rather than how the american can cooperate to make this place truly livable. I'm not saying get rid of all traces of capitalism, but i do think some things do not need the monetary value they do have now: health care and edu for instance. All this has only conrtibuted to their greed, not our nation's well-being.
@jdj106 What exactly is the difference between people cooperating in the market and what you think they should be doing? And don't you think that if every individual is allowed to take care of their own well being, that would equate to the national well being?
@GoingGoingGalt no, that's actually a bit of a contradiction if you think about it. First off, "allowed to take care of their own well being" only makes sense if others are not willing to impose on your freedoms to do just that. Of course even that is very vague. Freedom to just survive or to thrive? which is it? Slaves survived, Trump thrives.
@jdj106 And what do you define as freedom here? Freedom to have a piece of the wealth of another? Now THAT is slavery on the part of those whose wealth must be taken. You assume that freedom MUST include the ability of people to live well without any work, and that entitlement must be freedom. Incorrect
@GoingGoingGalt that's exactly what I'm talking about. We the toilers of your crops, the pushers of your paper, we deserve more, we deserve the same access of those privileged classes since what they attained as success was through privilege and not through they're own sweat and tears, but instead through our sweat and tears. If anything, very few were capable of doing that. So forgive me but I have no idea where you came out with that assumption about living well without working :/
@jdj106 And where do you get that money from? Who decides how much is enough? And btw, raising wages would not help, it would merely result in companies hiring fewer workers, so the only method is to raise taxes on the rich.
However, I will agree with you that plenty of rich people are obtaining privileges from the government, and that has to stop, but A) many people are becoming wealthy without privilege and you shouldn't punish them, and B) this is not the fault of a free market
@GoingGoingGalt And about equating that to national well being, I have first hand experience in how the wealth of the corporate CEOs and the owners does not trickle down to people like my father or like me. It's an uneven playing field.
Moore is wrong, again. And it's funny how he defends Newspapers now. When many of them endorsed Bush he said it didn't matter. He said nobody reads Newspapers anymore. He plays to his audience.
"you just used "Well estabilished" to say that what "I think" defines a person, place, or thing matters..."
No, I used it in terms of economics. If we can't agree to definitions, than there is no conversation taken place Have you ever picked up a dictionary or an economics text book? It isn't my opinion, it has been established in economics in the same way the definitions for "Evolution" or "gravity" have been established in science.
Well it does. The way in which you define them, is the way in which you interpret their meaning.
The words Capitalism and Socialism have well-established definitions in the study of economics, as much as Evolution and Gravity have established definitions in science.
"The point being a spade is a spade Regardless of what it is 'called'..."
How do you know it's a spade, if you can't define the term spade? ;-)
Where do you think socialized funds are kept? In a Dirt hole, somewhere? No, they are kept in a bank, usually a massive central bank.
Germany was a social democracy long before Hitler ever came around. They had universal health care, socialized industry and military before WW1 occured. These things were paid for by the German taxpayers, and the taxed wealth used to finance such things were stored in a bank
"Yes I believe it is call Libertarian socialism..."
I just wanted to comment on Libertarian socialism real quick. I recently said that all statists are socialists, but I want to clarify that I don't think that all socialists are statists. I tend to get along with libertarian socialists, although we have some fundamental economic disagreements.
I think people should be free to form libertarian socialist societies so long as it's completely voluntary for everyone involved.
Just because 'you' said all statist were socialist doesn't make it true...
Socialism says... that the Worker gets to own and control the means of production... If the state owns it... if Hitler owns it.. if The Rich guy in New York owns it... then it's not Socialism...
I think being able to go on the Internet and read the news has a bigger hand in the downturn in the printed newspaper industry than any of the BS he's spewing.
@eurohim Yet other countries that have full access to the internet still have thriving Newspapers... Why is the newspaper industry in the states folding up? or are just spewing?
Yeah, the free market did kill newspapers. Why? Because people didn't WANT newspapers anymore! Evil corporations didn't kill anything, free consumer choice did. Would you rather pay a buck every morning for sheets of dirty paper we throw away by noon or read constant live-updating news on the internet while you check your email...?
Go take a couple economics and business courses at your local community college so you have a basic idea of what you're talking about.
Lool, there are actually people on here that think Michael Moore is NOT a multi -millionaire, all of which created by market capitalism. Nobody that FAT or WEALTHY should lecture about scarcity and poverty.
He is ten times more hypocritical than Limbaugh & CO.
These modern Capitalists don't want us to think or to be able to critically analyze what is going on. The true enemy is hidden from our view, has anyone looked at the back of the U.S one dollar bill? Ask yourself what that pyramid with the all seeing eye is. It is a secret society armed with advanced mind control technology that they don't want you to know about. Watch "Dr colin Ross on C.I.A mind control" When you understand this technology and it's hard to believe, everythings makes sense.
wtf is this man talking about? British and european newspapers are just as screwed as American ones are. Capitalism may have killed the newspaper industry, just like it killed the fax machine, the VCR, windows 95, the model t ford, etc etc. The internet is the big thing thesedays baby
The irony is that Hollywood loves to rail against capitalism, greed & the profit motive, but many of their problems can be traced to the greed of people in Hollywood itself.
Michael Moore is a hero. He tells it the way it really is. I wish he could research the real source of our demise and that is corporate funded MIND CONTROL research by universites for the C.I.A and other intelligence communities. Watch "Dr Colin Ross on C.I.A mind control" what he states is declassifed from the 1950's. What they are doing today in secrecy are crimes against humanity and they don't need implants to control and monitor our thoughts today. Its done through Psychiatry / psychology.
@DoomHippie There is good and bad in everything. Modern capitalism is evil and it will do what ever it takes, even if it means to blow up the twin towers in New York to make a profit. They are the real criminals and they are the ultimate tricksters!!! Michael Moore is a true hero who is bringing the real truth to light. Peace out.
There is no "modern capitalism." Free Markets haven't existed in a long time. We have corporatism, where the government redistributes wealth from the poor, to the rich. In fact, most of Moore's movie rants about this (like with the bailouts), labeling it a free market. Moore is confusing the problem, and helping the corporatists who disguise their legislation as social welfare.
Capitalism is Progress, progress killed the record player industry, railroad industry and many many others, with progress greater values survive and lesser ones don't. The internet, television and technology killed the newspaper industry, a leftist such as Michael Moore should appreciate the fact that we now receive news in a much more eco friendly way reducing the amount of paper consumed drastically. He says that conservatives, are party based on primitive values, are to blame for progression.
Michael Moore's arguments are fundamentally dishonest or he really is just ignorant. Republicans want to revamp education because the Department of Education that runs the public schools is failing our children. And some parents aren't stressing the importance of education however that's not what's killing newspapers. Michael said it himself, the newspapers quit giving people what they wanted. People could get a better and more accurate product on the web. Capitalism worked!
That is not true a salary of a teacher and the amount of money teachers get has increased adjusted for inflation. Also teachers unions spend money on political ads rather than spending money on kids. Also people are reading newspapers but it is from online sources so the newspapers need to think of more creative and more technologically advanced ways of getting people to pay for their subscriptions. (sorry for the bad grammar I want to go to bed)
Michael Moore is dead wrong. I don't buy a newspaper because I read the same paper online. There's no evil big business trying to kill their own business. Why are there no black-smiths anymore? because people don't ride horses anymore? To Michael Moore it would be evil business making cars. Enough already... this guy is an idiot.
@finallytherock You are partially correct. Magazines & books,have plummeled in the last 15 years.You are correct in that the predominant reason for this is that people,who have the time in this country,if not overworked or part of the 20 or 30% not working at all, are doing the vast majority, if not all of their reading on-line. I would also be hardpressed NOT to believe that if we have a population of 44 million illiterate American Adults, which we do,that they would NOT affect newspaper sales
Great stuff. Lefty conformists up in zee People's Repooblique of Canuckistan dutifully lap up whatever libtard slop Tubby Riefenstahl dishes out. He is one hell of an entrepreneur, tho' Big Bad Gnome Chimpsky is still King a da Hill.
looks like Arnold "terminated" California. They should have learned after Ronald Reagan not to vote for an actor. One of Arnold's best performances was to fool people into thinking he could balance a budget of a state! He should have shut those borders down and quick righting checks to illegals.
It's because the parents are uneducated. Also the kids see that their parents are doing alright, so they think that it's ok for them to continue in their parents foot steps.ignorant parents beget ignorant children.
@ottojinn there are lots of factors. i understand that! but it damn sure isnt the republicans as michael claims. like i said the progressives have had control of californias education for over 40 so using his logic that would make the progressives responsible for such bad results.
There are several factors that come into play. Children with uneducated parents is not the only one.There are several reasons that come to mind but I am not going to entertain the thought based on the foolish and narrow-minded responses being posted
@MyFrosty13 well if such a foolish video of such a foolish person making such a foolish claim werent posted there wouldnt be foolish narrow minded responses!
@3logon but a need-based economy always ends up in extreme poverty and rationing. Capitalism and the price system is the best method we have for providing goods to the people who need them. You could look at massive failures of a need based system by looking at the USSR or North Korea.
He does not sound like a tough grizzled old soldier but some kind of dandified Nancy boy, who is afraid of wars and he is indubitably no sea-dog but the sort of pasty landlubber I have always despised. I'll warrant, the most exciting thing that has happened to this limpid prawn in a whole year, was the day when he forgot to put sugar in his porridge!
American newspapers should take a leaf out of our British newspapers and feature a topless model on page 3. Circulation will increase by 1000%, newspaper profits will go up, no need to be dictated to by the advertisers. Problem solved!
We have paved the way for people to become illiterate and its the fault of the Rep Party? You have to be kidding me. If it wasnt for the liberal left back in the 30s mandating handouts from the govt which essentially made everybody lazy, we wouldnt have this problem. Furthermore, the progressive, socialist movement which road on the backbone of a welfare state, entitled people to believe/become accustom to handouts and depending on others gave way to essentially tearing the fabric of the US..
"The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them" - Thomas Jefferson
Newspapers are dying because people are voluntarily choosing alternative sources of information. It's true, capitalism is killing newspapers.
Michael Moore blames everything under the sun on capitalism and his net worth is well over $20 million. There's a word to describe this kind of behavior.
So you're saying that anybody who owns anything is a capitalist? Man, you've got to read up on your ism's.
And being good at using the capitalist system doesn't make you a capitalist. He just so happen to be born in a FFA country and has to go with the until it's changed.
Yes you did, but you're very stubborn and your ego is clearly in the way of your logic. I mean your first argument was an ad-hominem, labelling me a "retard".
And to be clear, I am not labelling anyone, I am attacking ideas, not people.
1. Taxation is the word used for extortion, when the group committing the act is labeled "government". If you don't pay you are punished. If you peacefully resist the punishment, violence will be used against you.
I'd pay taxes in a socialist society, for the same reasons i'd pay the mafia if they extorted money for "protection services". I fear the punishment.
2. Competing in a marketplace for profits, is a voluntary action. Michael was not forced to do this
show me your tax returns, liberal douchebag

What he says makes sense but I don't like the title. It isn't accurate. It's not Capitalism that is the problem its corporate statism. We have allowed corporations to be treated as people who can dictate the policies our politicians advocate for. The problem is corporations have their own agendas. They often don't coincide with the needs of the people. Corporate statism is not the free market. Our government has decided which business to prop up based on lobbying and not the common good.

If Moore's logic were right, the Japan would do worse than us because they only spend 3.6% of their GDP on education.

We spend much more on education than we ever did, but thanks to teachers unions, we spend it on inferior teachers who can't be fired. The Dept. of Education is worthless.

jdj106 7 months ago
@jdj106 And where do you get that money from? Who decides how much is enough? And btw, raising wages would not help, it would merely result in companies hiring fewer workers, so the only method is to raise taxes on the rich.
However, I will agree with you that plenty of rich people are obtaining privileges from the government, and that has to stop, but A) many people are becoming wealthy without privilege and you shouldn't punish them, and B) this is not the fault of a free market

There is no "modern capitalism." Free Markets haven't existed in a long time. We have corporatism, where the government redistributes wealth from the poor, to the rich.

Moore is confusing the problem, and helping the corporatists who disguise their legislation as social welfare.

Michael Moore's arguments are fundamentally dishonest or he really is just ignorant.

Magazines & books,have plummeled in the last 15 years.You are correct in that the predominant reason for this is that people,who have the time in this country,if not overworked or part of the 20 or 30% not working at all, are doing the vast majority, if not all of their reading on-line. I would also be hardpressed NOT to believe that if we have a population of 44 million illiterate American Adults, which we do,that they would NOT affect newspaper sales

looks like Arnold "terminated" California. They should have learned after Ronald Reagan not to vote for an actor. One of Arnold's best performances was to fool people into thinking he could balance a budget of a state! He should have shut those borders down and quick righting checks to illegals.

over 50 percent of californias budget goes to education. now, how is it the fault of conservatives that kids in california have such low test scores?
psyhobill5150 1 year ago
It's because the parents are uneducated. Also the kids see that their parents are doing alright, so they think that it's ok for them to continue in their parents foot steps.ignorant parents beget ignorant children.

@ottojinn there are lots of factors. i understand that! but it damn sure isnt the republicans as michael claims. like i said the progressives have had control of californias education for over 40 so using his logic that would make the progressives responsible for such bad results.
psyhobill5150 1 year ago
There are several factors that come into play. Children with uneducated parents is not the only one.There are several reasons that come to mind but I am not going to entertain the thought based on the foolish and narrow-minded responses being posted

@3logon but a need-based economy always ends up in extreme poverty and rationing. Capitalism and the price system is the best method we have for providing goods to the people who need them. You could look at massive failures of a need based system by looking at the USSR or North Korea.

American newspapers should take a leaf out of our British newspapers and feature a topless model on page 3. Circulation will increase by 1000%, newspaper profits will go up, no need to be dictated to by the advertisers. Problem solved!

We have paved the way for people to become illiterate and its the fault of the Rep Party? You have to be kidding me. If it wasnt for the liberal left back in the 30s mandating handouts from the govt which essentially made everybody lazy, we wouldnt have this problem. Furthermore, the progressive, socialist movement which road on the backbone of a welfare state, entitled people to believe/become accustom to handouts and depending on others gave way to essentially tearing the fabric of the US..

"The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them" - Thomas Jefferson
Newspapers are dying because people are voluntarily choosing alternative sources of information. It's true, capitalism is killing newspapers.
Michael Moore blames everything under the sun on capitalism and his net worth is well over $20 million. There's a word to describe this kind of behavior.
Hypocrisy.

Being rich doesn't make you a capitalist. Being poor doesn't make you a socialist.
Saying that this is hypocrisy, however, does make you a retard.

Capitalism is the concept of private property.
Micheal Moore owns $25 million worth of private property. He earned it by competing in the movie marketplace for profits. Just facts bro.

"Capitalism is the concept of private property."
So you're saying that anybody who owns anything is a capitalist? Man, you've got to read up on your ism's.
And being good at using the capitalist system doesn't make you a capitalist. He just so happen to be born in a FFA country and has to go with the until it's changed.

You're just playing semantics and worrying too much about labels.
I'm saying Michael Moore has benefited a great deal from Capitalism, and has used it to profit for himself.
Why doesn't he give up all of his excess wealth to the government, to provide health care for society?
Because he feels it's better off in his private hands, than in the public sector.

Michael Moore should be entitled to all of his profits, as should you and I be.

At least you understand that Michael is successfully profiting from a capitalist system.
You are admitting that he is a hypocrite, here. :-)

I'm not trying to label Michael moore as a socialist or a capitalist, I'm merely pointing out the hypocrisy of the film title and his ideas.

NO I'M NOT. Let me turn the tables..
You're in a socialist country paying a tax rate of 50%. You are now a socialist, because you pay the taxes which you are bound by law to pay.
According to you this would be correct!?
Being rich does not make your a capitalist.
That's like saying somebody is a narcissist because they're pretty and gifted.

Yes you did, but you're very stubborn and your ego is clearly in the way of your logic. I mean your first argument was an ad-hominem, labelling me a "retard".
And to be clear, I am not labelling anyone, I am attacking ideas, not people.
Now on to the points you brought up. :-)
TheCapitalistdog 1 year ago
@gadzy
1. Taxation is the word used for extortion, when the group committing the act is labeled "government". If you don't pay you are punished. If you peacefully resist the punishment, violence will be used against you.
I'd pay taxes in a socialist society, for the same reasons i'd pay the mafia if they extorted money for "protection services". I fear the punishment.
2. Competing in a marketplace for profits, is a voluntary action. Michael was not forced to do this
See the difference?
TheCapitalistdog 1 year ago
@gadzy
He is also not forced to keep all that money to himself. If he cares so much about health care, why doesn't he put his money where his mouth is?
What does he need all that capital for, if he truly believes capitalism is to blame?
That being said, I think Michael has earned his wealth and is entitled to keep it. I just argue that, I deserve the same respect.
Wouldn't you agree?
