I tuned into this clip hoping he'd have a great defense if it was pointed out that he's profited from the capitalist system. However, he failed to do so. In desperation he unwittingly highlighted the fact that he didn't graduate HS and (basically) became wealthy due to "hard work". The irony is, those "greedy" capitalists that he shits on, make similar claims to justify their wealth and status. They believe they deserve and are entitled to them due to the "hard work" they put in to establish it.
Whether you like Moore or not the fact that the gap between CEOs and the average person is widening continuously is proof that the quality of life in the US is much worse than it used to be for the person on the street. The rich neo-cons call this progress but only till the gated communities they live in are threatened or their family member gets assaulted walking down the road, gee what a great system.
Since when was greed illegal? If the 95% want more then get your ass in gear and go get it.
Yea Mike why don't you kick back at the lake in your fucking mansion that capitalism got for you, hypocrite. Now he compares himself to the founding fathers, give me a fucking break.

@rxc128 I was wondering if there would be a post that encapsulated the kind of ignorance most of americans have when it comes to our economy and how it works--- and BAM! there was your post!

Health care should NOT be a given right. Health care is a SERVICE which utilizes hospitals, extremely educated staffing, drugs, proprietary technology, and other specialized equipment. These things are NOT free. They cost a lot of money. If you want to say health care is a given right, then why not food... or houses.... or transportation.
NOTHING IS FREE. Try to make healthcare a "right"... it just takes "rights" away from people that ARE paying for it.
@26yearstoorion You obviously don't know the difference between a GOOD and a RIGHT from our constitution. Maybe you are one of the people that gets their healthcare "free" and believes NO ONE is PAYING FOR IT.
The only way you can have ethical capitalism is to remove the critical parts that have to do with people's rights from profit. Define people's rights, and then everything falls out of that. When you look at our system now we have most of our huge industries and richest people who cannot actually compete and must go and buy and corrupt the government to pass laws to give them an advantage, and even then they have to flip things so that they pay less taxes. The system is rigged.
Michael Moore is overly-dramatic and a bit simplistic in the way he explains things … but he is essentially right. But the level of the American people who are listening to Wolf Blitzer the mainstream media's narrative is a lot more simplistic and not as true.

Church and government seperate. Corporate and government seperate. Government for the people by the people that makes laws and decisions and corporate follows those laws like it or not, profitable or not. The people have to follow laws they may or may not like so why should corporate be any different. The people rule.
Michael Moore doesn't have clear answers. I live in Europe and he thinks our system is "good". I'm tired of the government that thought it could provide all the stuff people want. And once it does, it sells it to the 1%. What you need is honest money, free trade, free markets and contract rights. Besides, how can you look at a man that is the size of an elephant to recommend a health care system for you? Com'on guys, wake the fuck up.
Only idiots would follow this slandering, dishonest, untrustworthy, hypocritical, hack of a documentary filmmaker....

Only fools will take his side on anything. And complete morons are what's left of his fanbase.
i like the new online temp apps for work with a psyche test, seems the best workers (or at least the right answers) always are submissive, non confronting, happy with lo pay, will work 60 hrs a week and enjoy poverty with a smile
He loves the sound of his own voice, that is until he is asked to explain why he hates the capitalist system which has made him a multi-multi-millionaire. Fortunately for Moore, Wolf Blitzer lets him off the hook. Moore's response; "Oh yeah, Isn't that amazing"........"That's an interesting question". Also amazing that I'm in agreement with Mr Moore on this point. Hypocracy, from a liberal (net worth over 50 million) who has made a living criticising the very system which has made him millions.
@1954tele it making a multimillionaire is totally irrelevant, he doesnt control the system as it stands and Im sure he wouldnt have minded making a bit less for a fairer economy, hes driven by his beliefs, not profits, hes a documentary maker for christs sake- if he was driven by money alone hed have chosen another profession. Most all coorporations however are driven by profit above all else, and do a great deal of harm because of that. Its an incredibly ignorant question.
He worked hard!!! for his money!!!! wow and hes rich! hmmm i guess the system worked well then.. not complaining cause i agree working hard does pay off.. but he is something else a hypocrite
Michael Moore’s message in Bowling For Columbine supports the bankster agenda. "DISARM and throw away your weapons". Without weapons, the public is defenseless against a New World Order police state. What was his message in Fahrenheit 9/11? Blame the Arab Muslims and George Bush instead of the ruling bankster families who planned the 9/11 attack to ignite the endless war of terror and the endless public debt to them. Instead of following questionable leaders, become a leader yourself.
I have to admit that Mr Moore is a perfect example of America's failed health system - watching those fat-laden jowls writhe about certainly makes me sick
heh, wow, either there's a redneck convention in a barn with an internet connection for once, or someone thinks feigned idiocy is a good foundation for an astroturf campaign... I can't help but respect someone who shows concern for other people, especially when they could have chosen to turn their back and live the easy life.
This guy has a completely over simplified solution to the problems we have. Why is he so obese. He has some deep seated emotional issue that causes him to eat more than most cows.
Whaaa, I'm Michael Moore and my daddy worked for GM and he worked at that cake job for a long time and then GM pulled out of Michigan and I was brought up in a bullshit neighborhood that was constructed around capitalism and I had such an easy life growing up because of capitalism, whaaaaaaaaaaa! Fuck you Michael Moore, how 'bout that! Health care isn't a fucking God given right dummy. Go fuck yourself, you could use the exercise.
@FunkyMothaFunksta Questions do you consider teachers doing physical labor??? Well consider Moore to be one, one that risks all kinds of dangers just so that he can tell dickheads like you the REAL SITUATION out there so that you don't run around like a brain dead zombie, your useless comment just tells me that its already too late for you. mehhhh mehhhhh
He made his money ethically unlike the 1% who changed laws to take advantage of people who took out mortgages in an effort to live the American dream.
Capitalism can work with heavy regulations. Australia has fairly little corporate greed, our economy works pretty well, we don't need a reform. But with America, it is so bad, and their are so many greedy people in the corporate world that there needs to be a reform of some sort, whether going down a socialist part, or going down a more regulated system path. Something has to be changed to reinforce equality and fairness, which is what Australia is about, and hopefully America is about too.
If only unicorns and rainbows and cuddly little carebears would come and set up a lollipop government where all the humans are working and owning homes and cars and education and sprinkles!

Bush may have been president when this bailout issue started but Obama supported and facilitated it. Both presidents are guilty of robbing the people.
Capitalism is the problem--crony capitalism is the problem. Bailing out banks is NOT capitalism. If capitalism were really in place, no one would have prevented them from failing.
Ask banks why when countries helped them they gave very low interests, and now that europe is in difficulty they ask for interests 600 times greater...
Michael Moore has some balls, this bastard is attacking him... this is not an interview... its a freaking live tribunal looking for Moore to plead guilty.
Stupid americans, communist countries used money too and had mighty parties that rule everything just like you, the only difference is that you have this american idol thing every 4 years. You are stupid enough to believe that voting republican or democrat changes something... I laugh at you assholes.
He isn't railing against Capitalism, he's railing against the way the Government has been co-opted by the wealthy and the Corporations. Shame on Blizter ,the corporate tool for trying to cast aspersion on his character. Damn right we don't have a Democracy, we have a Corporate Fascist mafia running the country.
He's right, I would like him more if he came and gave me some of his money or something. Until that happens, he can shut his stupid hole. You can give all the money you want to charity without forcing the government to take it from people. Why should my lack of financial planning be someone else's problem?
What an arsehole for suggesting that Michael Moore's motivation for documentary film-making critiquing capitalism is cynically motivated by financial gain.
Yeah right...It wasn't until I watched his "capitalism a love story" film that I realized he is a full-on socialist. Maybe he would like to give me some of his money!? This guy is a TURD and a half!
@tenkins im assuming your american; your system is fucked. youve got the highest income inequality in the west. your health care is a for profit system (which is completely immoral as far as im concerned). how is your system of capitalism working? it aint. fix it. mikes suggesting a refined version of it with a new name. btw, when your govt runs libraries, rec centres, the police, military, mail, etc how is that not socialism. guess it works pretty good!
@lee0122333 we actually don't have a capitalist system here. We have something more like fascism or corporatism. Study economics, our government is run by big companies that don't want competition. We are also highly socialized. If you looks at industries where there are several competitors the prices are low and benefit everyone.
@MrWompz i think its still officially called capitalism. i think we both agree but are using different words. you guys could use govt run health care as well and get on the boat with all the other western civilizations.
@lee0122333 I don't agree, because capitalism is about competition not corporations using the government to stomp out competition. That's fascism, "The merging of corporate power and state power." And I would have to say it's pretty clear americans don't want nationalized health care. Our healthcare is expensive because of monopolies, government over reach, frivilous law suits, and several other factors. If you look at laptops, they have come down in price because of competition.
@MrWompz i cant remember the number of americans who want govt run health care but it was close to 60%. your country is the ONLY industrialized country to not have govt run health care, and every year 40000 americans die because they have no coverage. its pure domestic terrorism. "corporations using the govt to stomp out competition"???? you sure they arent unofficially doing that under your current system of capitalism? i dont think the US has done enough for its healthcare.
@lee0122333 How are we Capitalistic when our country's legislation and politicians are bought off by corporations? If you look at the definition of Fascism or Corporatism it says that it is the merging of corporate power and state power. Our country is run by a few big businesses who don't want competition. So they use the government to make it harder or even impossible to come up in the industry. The FDA which has alot of power over our health industry has made our industry less competitive.
@lee0122333 I do appreciate the debate with you. I am very concerned with the state of our economy here, but one thing that has really concerned me is the fact our government tramples over our rights. They continue to ignore the consitution, Libya and Iraq are great axamples of that. They pass bills such as the NDAA. When it comes to healthcare i think it should be up to the states to decide. If onestate wants government healthcare than they can have that, if another doesn't then they won't.
@MrWompz i know i couldnt believe that NDAA one and i cant believe they torture people. i agree that at least some states should try it out just to get a word of mouth going on how good it is. if your super rich in america, your current system might actually be better in that its faster. but for the majority of ppl who arent rich, its no good.
@lee0122333 The problem with our system is that big business controls institutions such as the FDA. The pharmaseutical industry controls the FDA. They see potential competition and destroy it. America lives in a system of Fascism or better stated Corporatism. This is in no way free market capitalism. We have this coercive power in many industries, look at how our foreign policy is. The weapons companies profit from wars. Capitalism is the enemy of monopolies and companies that want control.
Mike your just making money off of the misery of others. In 2008 the people that you supported got elected and for 2 years they had control over the Presidency, the house and the senate. So who are you telling us to vote for now in 2012. Let me guess, the incumbent president. Wow, another 4 years of the same old thing.
@michaelterry1000 i think he wants a change on a bigger scale than just electing another president. it doesnt matter wat prez you have, they are all bought and paid for by banks and corporations. this interview was in 2009.
@lee0122333 Previously Moore supported a 3rd party candidate for president. He said that the Republicans and Democrats were ‘paid for by banks and corporations’. But then he turned his back on the 3rd party and advised everyone to vote the Democrat ticket. It will be interesting to see what Moore and the occupy wall street supporters do in the next election. If they end up voting for the incumbent party they will have achieved nothing.
Not a god damn thing this this fat head said is accurate. His dream of a everywhere Democracy is bullshit. So the head of the household can't implement rules and responsibilities because they are overridden by ignorant children's voting power?
Hey Michael........... Not are you full of shit with really dumb idea's you pander to people just like you. You lack absolute accountability. The only time you face accountability is when you step on the bath room scale.
@dorksayswhat lol thanks, I always get a good laugh at your kind's blacked-out, braindead hysterics. Workplace democracies ARE the way of the future (if you weren't so deluded, you would realize yourself that this is in your own interest). They're proven to work efficiently with greater worker morale and contentment because they actually have a say and are educated and informed on company matters. To anyone with heart and a soul, and a brain, this is obviously the more advanced, humane system.
@Gilk53 No you're laughable. The system is unjust. Treating labor like cattle. Labor unions were formed for this very reason. They're gone pretty much with only 7% left. And things have only gotten worse for the average person. The system stinks to high heaven. And Moore isn't a billionare, he's a slight millionare. So even those people will fall in such an unstable system. When workers have had enough, they will quit working moving nothing. And go after the pigs. Or just take over.
@Gilk53 US was based on an agricultural economy in the 1700's. Turn of the industrial revolution it changed to a rigid capitalistic system where land was running low in supply, so many people had to be part of the industrial labor force. In the 1890's things were pretty rough, labor was exploited. Massive strikes and riots made reforms by 1906 Teddy's square deal. But still system most part uncontrolled collapsed by 1929. Reformed again. Then de-formed. 1970 to today collapsing again 2008.
Well then it would Michael Moore has never met 'The Haters'. Haters are going to hate no matter what, because thats all they like and thats all they really can do. Anyways good luck Micheal Moore, and help fix america...and ah...if you could also fix the corruption in third world contries that would be great too.
@rockyqw12 what the hell difference does it make what you wear to an interview? how does wearing one piece of fabric or another decide how serious you're going to take someone?
Michale Moore always seems to foresee into the future. The one proof is this movie and another is that he is using '1%' in this interview. And 2 years later in 2011, OWS movement happened and people started to use a word, "99%". About his ability to foresee the future trend, he is a genius in my opinion.
Michael Moore rocks and I love his intent to get the word out about how the rich rule and the poor dont amount to anything!! This country is totally screwed up to the fullest! There are millions of people in this country who are starving and homeless and not many millionaires in this country are willing to help none! The country needs to tax the shit out of millionaires and that money given to help the needy!!
@Gilk53 He sin't. You lot accuse him of being a capitalist whilst wanting the end of it, but it isn't. It is political, all paid for by the member and followers of him. What way does that fit into capitalism? Capitalism gates Michael Moore and his ideas and wants to make politics (Michael Moore) smaller and marginalised.
Michael Moore believes diligently in free market capitalism. He makes a product, sells it in a market and collect HUGE profits. He's a fat ass hypocrite. Oh yeah all you Moore fans...did you know your idol bought thousands of shares in the HALLIBURTON corporation before the Iraq invasion from which he made millions at the expense of American and NATO forces?
@Gilk53 Spoken like a wealthy capitalist. Are you scared of sharing a bit of wealth with those willing to work hard but less fortunate than you. M Moore talks about morality. His main point is where greed and self interest can be stopped, punished, regulated etc, it should be. And why should oedinary decent people have so little say in evryday affairs which affect them. A vote every 4 years is not real democracy and we all know it. I hope the bankers etc die in painful agony for their crimes
Awwww! Why did you cut the interview at the interesting part?! Mr Moore is a very intelligent man who has dedicated his life to exposing the system for what it is and getting us back to focus on the grass roots issues. He tells it like it is and is fearless in defending the rights of the little guy.
Some people believe in what Michael Moore preaches. Some people believe in what the Rich Republicins say. I just amazes me that most of the ones that vote for the rich are the same ones that are losing their jobs, home and families. How stupid are you people?. When are you going to wake up and listen to people like Mike that are trying to show you how you are being fuked. Take your money from these banks. Stop supporting the rich and you will be successful. Wake up Americans.
I am a hard working American, who's family has been involved in politics since before America became a nation, and I thin Morre is a loser, liar and an idiot. He is full of bullshit, spreading his, lies and false information to cause dissent in America pitting one against the other and profiting from this. That should be called treason.
Moore is nothing but a sham, every single one has been proven nothing but lies, polically funded liberal elitists propagandist. he should be shunned from the public view for his failure to spread truths, instead promoting lies agains other humans as truths in order to gain monetarily and politically. Moore is a hoax! prove me wrong
i like michael moore alot, but he doesn't know economics. democracy isn't REALLY an economic policy. someone like Ron Paul understands economics, and they both agree on whats bad, but ron paul blames corporatism over capitalism. capitalism is great, when lobbying not there. i disagree with paul on no socialized medicine, very few things i think should be socialized but medicine is prob the one point i disagree with paul despite being an ardent supporter.
It is true Michael Moore didn't answer the question. The reality is just because Capitalism has been good for Mike Moore doesn't mean it is the best system for all.
Won't answer the question because he can't. What he doesn't seem to want to admit, that if we had a system like Moore wants to see, he would be poor. Then he mixes and dresses up his message with a bunch of other issues. I agree with him on the point that we don't have real capitalism or democracy. But his answers are all wrong. The problem is crony capitalism and the corruption - which is *NOT* capitalism.
@yington, Michael answered your criticism in the interview. Not sure you are willful deaf or not. Based on your logic, one have to be poor to criticize the capitalism and tell the truth? Come on.
@yington Are you deaf? You didn't hear/or listen to Moore's answer to that loaded right-wing question. Anyhow, It's the abusive, predatory ponzi-scheme system that he rightfully calls 'evil' ..Moore only produces documentary films.. hello.
He didn't answer the question, he just avoided it.
Michael Moore makes millions upon millions in the capitalist system, using the capitalist system in an incredibly efficient manner to make his fortune via his documentaries, and then living a life of a luxury alongside it.
How can you have respect for a man that is happy to sit on his millions upon millions that he made from a system he purports to despise?
@yington He answered it. But you -- like all Moore bashers -- just didn't like it or understand it. SInce most righties are selfish folk they can't fathom that guys like Moore, who make millions can also be altruistic and care about others less well-off. He grew up in Flint, Mi, not an affluent area. I'm sure he gives to charity.. how would you know if he didn't??
Do you know anything about Michael Moore's luxurious properties that he resides in, the private jets he flies in, or the amount of wealth he has?
Why on earth is he keeping the ill-gained money he earns? (through the capitalist system he despises)
Why is he not giving the millions upon million he earns to charity, rather than flying private jets? Or living in ridiculously luxurious properties that are not necessary?
@yington Oh, do you spend time w/Moore at his "luxurious properties?" Have you flown with him on his 'private jets?' Oh, I didn't so ...duh. Neither you or any right-wing toadies know what Moore does with his money, or spends his time. I'm sure he doesn't fly coach or live in a small cramped house ..why should he. Again you just don't get the meaning of ALTRUSITIC ..google it dumbshit!
You appear to be in some sort of odd denial about Michael Moore, and it's causing some real confusion in your logic.
Michael Moore, amongst many other things, owns a seriously luxurious and expensive residence in New York, for instance. This is not necessary. He owns this via the money he made through the system he says he hates and is immoral - Capitalism.
So why does he keep this vast wealth?
Why does he buy luxury properties, rather than giving it to charity?
People are too busy twittering and facebooking about IMPORTANT stuff like what type of fruit they had for breakfast and which movie was the funniest of the month....to pay attention to boring politics. EWWW, politics???? Hell no not me, that's for nerds!
I'M LOSING FAITH IN PEOPLE MIKE...IT'S ALMOST 2012 AND STILL NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE TAKING THIS GLOBAL CRISIS WE'RE IN SERIOUSLY. GLUTTONOUS GREED AND HATRED STILL RULES THE WORLD. AND BARELY ANYONE IS TAKING IT SERIOUSLY ENOUGH TO FIGHT IT....KNOW WHAT MAN I'M ABOUT TO TURN A COLD SHOULDER TO SOCIETY AND MAKE MY PEACE WITH GOD. I AM THOROUGHLY CONVINCED THAT THE MAJORITY OF US ARE CURRENTLY HELPLESS AND HOPELESS BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO JUST SEE THE TRUTH...THE HELL WITH THEM
YEAH MIKE IT'S SO WEIRD THAT YOU ACTUALLY GIVE A SHIT ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?? THIS IS AMERICA, MAN...LAND OF THE FREE AND THE RICH (WELL ABOUT 20% OF US ANYWAY), AND YOU ARE BOTH!! HOW AWKWARD THAT YOU WOULD CARE ABOUT THOSE SCUM BAG WORKING CLASS PEASANTS! WHO CARES, THEY'RE JUST STATS, AND THEY'RE-----EWWWWW-----POOR TOO! AND THAT'S THEIR FAULT BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST LAZY :p
MIKE I DONT KNOW HOW YOU CAN STAND TO TALK TO THE MEDIA ...I COULDN'T DO IT
THAT'S RIGHT MIKE TELL IT LIKE IT IS!!! YOU WON THAT ARGUMENT MY MAN. AND DON'T EVER LET THESE LOBBYIST-PAMPERED PRESS DWEEBS BRING YOU DOWN, OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER--KEEP DOING YOUR THING! YOU HAVE MORE FRIENDS AND FANS THAN ENEMIES, BY FAR. AND THANK YOU FOR BEING A TRUE PATRIOT--HATS OFF
capitalism has to be the only statewide government approved pyramid scam. boy am i glad capitalism in the american meaning is not really in affect anywhere else in the world.

@1954tele it making a multimillionaire is totally irrelevant, he doesnt control the system as it stands and Im sure he wouldnt have minded making a bit less for a fairer economy, hes driven by his beliefs, not profits, hes a documentary maker for christs sake- if he was driven by money alone hed have chosen another profession. Most all coorporations however are driven by profit above all else, and do a great deal of harm because of that. Its an incredibly ignorant question.

Michael Moore’s message in Bowling For Columbine supports the bankster agenda. "DISARM and throw away your weapons". Without weapons, the public is defenseless against a New World Order police state. What was his message in Fahrenheit 9/11? Blame the Arab Muslims and George Bush instead of the ruling bankster families who planned the 9/11 attack to ignite the endless war of terror and the endless public debt to them. Instead of following questionable leaders, become a leader yourself.

Capitalism can work with heavy regulations. Australia has fairly little corporate greed, our economy works pretty well, we don't need a reform. But with America, it is so bad, and their are so many greedy people in the corporate world that there needs to be a reform of some sort, whether going down a socialist part, or going down a more regulated system path. Something has to be changed to reinforce equality and fairness, which is what Australia is about, and hopefully America is about too.

@lee0122333 I don't agree, because capitalism is about competition not corporations using the government to stomp out competition. That's fascism, "The merging of corporate power and state power." And I would have to say it's pretty clear americans don't want nationalized health care. Our healthcare is expensive because of monopolies, government over reach, frivilous law suits, and several other factors. If you look at laptops, they have come down in price because of competition.

Turn of the industrial revolution it changed to a rigid capitalistic system where land was running low in supply, so many people had to be part of the industrial labor force. In the 1890's things were pretty rough, labor was exploited. Massive strikes and riots made reforms by 1906 Teddy's square deal. But still system most part uncontrolled collapsed by 1929. Reformed again. Then de-formed. 1970 to today collapsing again 2008.
