Isn't it disgusting how most americans/SHEEPLE, even after watching GREAT documentaries like this one, STILL go on feeding into this F#CKED-UP system, without EVER doing ONE THING to effect REAL CHANGE?! AT LEAST, spread the word regarding a Resource Based Economy (I'm surprised Michael Moore hasn't even acknowledged this by now)!?!
If she teaches contract law at one of the most prestigious colleges (Harvard) and she can't understand her own credit card contract, perhaps Harvard should find a new contract law professor. She seems extremely well versed and intelligent but, Honestly.. Is it really possible she can't understand such things?
@marilynr46 No, no, I'm not saying we can't do this, I was just expressing surprise at what Moore said. You know about how you'd think the wealthy would think they owe something back to society after prospering in the 90s. Most wealthy people think about one thing after getting their first ten million - how to get their next ten million as quickly as possible.
@Sistarovat Unfortunately, that is the way it has become. There was a time several decades ago--and Moore is nostalgic about that era--when people who were wealthy and successful thought about more than just themselves, or, at least, felt a cultural pressure not to be quite so brazen in their greed. It was probably the memory of the Depression, from which many took away the lesson that unbridled greed leads to ruin, and of WWII, which was an experience of shared sacrifice for a greater good.
Michael Moore acts like he's on something. Corporate America is not going to have the attitude of - hey maybe I can give something back. Why? Because corporate America is composed of human beings and human beings are sinful - in other words, incapable of thinking about anybody other than themselves. That's just simple human nature. Expecting anything else out of people just makes you a hopeless, senseless utopian.
@Sistarovat Incapable of thinking about anybody but themselves? If we pass some laws against this, then we can investigate them and charge them with crimes. Then we can throw them in jail. You say we can't do this? Says who?.
Businesses are "leaving this country" to get cheap labor and produce cheap communist-made merchandise that they make a nice big Capitalist profit here in "overtaxed, overregulated" America. Substandard wages are the result of outsourcing, not illegals. In fact outsourcing is done partly to keep wages low here in America. I won't call you a liar, I'll just say you're full of sh*t. OK????
@marilynr46 Well, I guess you never owned a business if you say that. As a business owner, I will do anything that improves my bottom line - otherwise why go in business. Businesses were not leaving before because they could afford it over here. Draconian regulations, unions are responsible for rising costs of doing business in America. It is obvious you have no idea what you are talking about, otherwise you wouldn't have brought Bernie up. One of us is full of sh*t and it ain't me!
@hotice1027 Its funny how you mention China's lifestyle. Afterall, big corporations in this country get rich by using cheap communist labor in China. Then they inport their cheap comminist-made products into Capitalist America to make a nice Capitalist profit on these cheap Communist- made products. Then they say, "isn't life here in America great!", afterall we could be Socialist or Communist like China and have a lifestyle that is not as good as we have it here in Capitalist America!
@marilynr46 What's funny is, here I am telling you that I was born in socialist country and lived there for half of my life before moving here and telling you that socialism does not work. And here you are, probably never been out of the US, never tasted socialism, and telling me that it does work. Is there anything wrong with this picture? However, I am not surprised. How could I be if you voted for a guy with absolutely no work experience - nothing, to the White House and expect results.
@hotice1027 I've been a registered nurse for over 25 years and have worked hard and payed income taxes all my life, so I'm no freeloader as you suggest. I have attended graduate school. I'm 47 years old. When did I say companies need to give up everything they own, becoming homeless in effect, so that they give something back? I am talking about large corporations, not small businesses. In the past decade 2/3 of them have paid no taxes at some time, they outsource jobs, and hoard lots of money.
@hotice1027 What do you mean when you talk about how bad life was living in a Socialist country? I think you're talking about living in a "poor" Socialist country. The US has had a combination of Socialism and Capitalism for hundreds of years. Federal income taxes is a form of Socialism, we all collectively pay into the system to pay for public schools, police and fire, and even our National Defense. What I'm talking about is the excessive greed that has resulted from unregulated free markets.
@hotice1027 I am not talking about becoming completely Socialist.. We just need to give corporations and financial institutions some "rules" to play by. That's not Socialism, that's just common sense. Your average citizen has to abide by a set of laws in society. Corporations shouldn't be treated better than people and be given special treatment so that they can engage in practices that destroy our economy, should they? At this time. there are no laws to prevent outsourcing.
@hotice1027 We need laws against outsourcing We need to revamp the tax code so that big business pays taxes. We need laws to restrict corporations from paying CEOs 20 million dollars a year in salary bonuses and use the money instead to create jobs. We need to stop giving these wealthy corporations tax cuts and tax subsidies.They are sitting on trillions of dollars in cash right now and are refusing to create decent paying jobs. They say there is no demand, but people have no money to spend.
@hotice1027 I personally know people who are homeless right now. I'm talking about families. We have no reason for this. We are still a very wealthy country, but its just that all the wealth is in the hands of a small miniority of people. Our politicians have been bought and paid for by corporations and expensive lobbyists in Washington. If you haven't lived in this country all your life, you don't know how things used to be here. We once had the highest standard of living in the world.
@hotice1027 If you really want to understand what I'm talking about, watch the Youtube video featuring Elizabeth Warren, entitled: Elizabeth Warren: Markets need to be regulated. It is an interview she did with Dan Rather. She explains what I'm talking about in plain simple language. Then send me a message back and let me know what you think about what she said.
@marilynr46 Only market can regulate market. Once you get in business of regulating, we are doomed to fail. Isn't regulating is what we have been doing all this time? You have to understand, that TRUE capitalism is where the market sets the prices on everything and the government involvement is at minimum. Why do you think computers and technology became so cheap vs. few years ago? Surely not because of the government regulations. Why do you think USPS is broke?
I wanted to post multiple links to prove that you lie about USPS, but this damn thing would not let me. So why don't you google "Is USPS broke?" and just look at the results you get.
I hope you will not tell me that Medicare and Social Security run on surplus...
@hotice1027 Regulations are looser that they have ever been, taxes are their lowest in history, and the power of unions has been dinimished Yet you say that businesses are leaving America, because they can't make a profit? What happens if some laws are changed that give corporations a set of rules that they have to follow? Just like your average citizen must abide by the rules of society, corporations will have to follow these rules or they can't do business here in America.
@marilynr46 You have a problem with greed. The labor of your employees is what brings the money into your company. You don't do all that work, yourself. You know, something is wrong with the current generation, the baby boomers, because the generation before them valued the work that their employees did, compensated those employees properly, and payed themselves more modest salaries. And the economy thrived. Keep up what you're doing and eventually it will effect your bottom line.
@marilynr46 If you are not "greedy", give everything you have to charity, homeless, or just go to the nearest corner and give it all to a bums and go live in a shelter or in a carton. After all, you don't care what you have and what you don't have. I dare you! Go and give everything you have, worked for (although I doubt you ever worked). Let me guess, liberal arts major, just out of college? Why am I not surprised...
Deregulation is designed to make a few people "filthy rich". This is why the Republicans are really complaining. They're selling a tall tale to their simple-minded, middle-class followers, so that they stay "filthy rich", and their followers buy it. The've even bought off our politicians to keep it this way.
@marilynr46 Listen, at least we have the opportunity to become "filthy rich". Try that with communism/socialism - good luck! If you do not have a drive to become more successful, have better life, better house, send your kids to better schools, do not blame me or anyone for having this drive. You and all of us enjoying our lifestyles, which is pretty good in comparison with China and Eastern Block, thank to the system we have/had - Capitalism! I can't believe I am telling you this!
@hotice1027 Then why are the Conservatives trying to take away all the good things we have. The middle class that is. They want to get rid of public schools and make us home-school our children to cut taxes. My house is just about falling down. I have no money to fix anything. I have no credit because of predatory credit cards. I have friends who are living in tents or their cars. I can't afford to buy food or heat my home.. Many people are losing their homes to foreclosure. No jobs, understand?
So we can regulate Capitalism. It was done in the past. When we got rid of these regulations, we found ourselves in the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression. We CAN put them back in place, and can put in place other regulations tailored to the specific economic problems we are facing now (that are different from the Great Depression). Someone has sold you a "poison package" and convinced you that this is Socialism, when this is really just "common sense".
Why do so many Conservatives think that we have this dichotomy of free market Capitalism on one side and Socialism on the other side and there is NOTHING in between. If we regulate Capitalism to protect consumers from the fraudsters, then we have become completely Socialist? Truth is, we have always had a combination of both here in America. How do we pay for our public school system? How to we pay for our National Defense? We, the taxpayers pay collectively into the system. That's Socialism.
@marilynr46 It is funny how you "know" that you can regulate Capitalism. And you know that how?
The problem with your point of view is that it is far removed from reality and based on some idealistic standards that are found nowhere in the world. They could not be found simply because they cannot and do not work.
@hotice1027 What has complete deregulation done to our economy? We have 14 million unemployed, many more underemployed or earning substandard wages, 46 million people living in poverty. You're the type who's always complaining about taxes, but do you realize when so many people are unemployed, it increases the tax burden on all the rest of us. The unemployed and poverty-stricken people are not mandated to pay taxes because their income is too low. They also turn to public assistance.
@marilynr46 "complete deregulation"??? Darling, open your eyes and look around! What complete deregulation are you talking about? Businesses are leaving this country because of the regulations and high taxes. When businesses leave, we have no jobs. 2+2 is always 4. Not 3.5 or 4.1, it is four! I complain about taxes because they are too high and knowing how the government spending it does not add to it. You know, no one preventing you from paying higher taxes. You are free to do it - if you want.
@hotice1027 I'm just talking about basic regulations, (Darling).What are you saying about taxes on businesses being too high? Taxes are at their lowest in history. Taxes on businesses were much higher when Ronald Reagan was President, and nobody even complained about it. He raised taxes 11 times when he was President. And you people idolized him. You should try to be a little more honest with your statemements here. Your not speaking the truth here. Truth is, you're lying.
@marilynr46 Taxes may be the lowest, however, if you will compare them with other countries' they are second highest. Please check your facts before calling me a liar.
@hotice1027 Taxes are higher here in America to pay for our huge infrastructure that corporations use at taxpayer expense.Taxes might be higher here, but companies are making record profits, because they get cheap labor in China. If they want to pay lower taxes, create some American jobs so that the unemployed will be earning enough to start paying taxes again. Once the people at the bottom have money to spend, it will come back to you in the form of increased demand for whatever you're selling.
@marilynr46 We have jobs. In fact we have so many jobs that we use illegals to do them.
Substandard wages could be traced to an inflation which could be traced to Federal Reserve. Blame the Feds for bringing the dollar and our purchasing power down.
Remember what Margaret Thatcher said - "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money [to spend]." So what you going to do if you alone will have to support 10 unemployed people by paying 85% income tax?
@hotice1027 We have already regulated "Capitalism". When we came out of the Great Depression, we put several regulations in place" Glass-Steagall, FDIC Insurance, and new SEC regulations. Our economy thrived for fifty years, until we came to the 1980s. At that time,. we thought we didn't need regulations any more (times had changed), so we started to deregulate. That's when we started to have ecomomic crises, which we ignored (Savings and Loan Crisis, Long-Term Capital Management Crisis, Enron)
@hotice1027 We completely repealed Glass-Steagall in 1999, which allowed community banks to also act as investment banks and insurance companies. We then had a housing bubble and an unregulated mortgage market started creating "toxic mortgage-backed securities", while paying rating companies to give them triple A tating, so investors would snatch them up. Meanwhile, the investent banks were placing bets against them, making billions, while investors lost all their money. You know all this.
She knows business, she knows economics, and she knows the law. Liz Warren scares the shit out of America, the criminal empire---and I hope she runs for President.
The problem is not capitalism, is government interference. You can argue that the solution is to make the rules work for the people, but that is an illusion, the rules will always be bended to favor the one that can pay the most. That's why is best to keep government small and let the market rule.
Big corporations are inherently inefficient, filled with bureaucracy and stupid rules that prevent innovation and creativity. Any intelligent person that has worked for a big coporation knows that. The only thing that allows big corporations to survive is the interference of goverments, with regulations masked as "safety nets" for the protection of the people that in reality are serving special interests. This regulations make competition impossible.
Hey Moore, It's not corporations, it is the government that ordered banks to lend money to people who could not afford to pay back. Why? Because it would be "discrimination" otherwise.
Bottom line is if you want to live in communist/socialist country, go to Cuba, Russia, or the Eastern European Block country, live there for a year and then we'll talk. I came from there, so I have an idea.
@hotice1027 Did the government force Bernie Madoff to pull his Ponzi Scheme? No. But he got away with it because of poor regulation of the financial sector (Wall Street). So, are you saying that if Elizabeth Warren wants to expose the fraud, put stricter regulations in place, and demand complete transparency from these financial institutions in their practices is SOCIALISM or COMMUNISM? You're crazy and I suggest you seek help because someone has sold you a "poison package". And you've bought it
@marilynr46 Personally, I try not call people names, so please do not call me crazy or suggest I need help - I am fine thank you! However, since you went this path, I would call you insane, because definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and expect different results (voting liberals). Liberals are taking this country to the grave - just look at California. Bernie is a criminal as many other people. He got caught and paying for it. I don't know why is he even in this conversation.
People are inherently evil, they are selfish and greedy.
If you are fortunate enough to be gifted with intelligence you will always take advantage of the "stupid" and less educated. You will take their money and do wrong to them all under protection of law.
Why? Because you can. Why? Because they are as disgusting as anyone else and their desires are of materialism and power just like any eating, shiting, disgusting human being.
@mal35m The Capitalism you are talking about is the kind of "Capitalism" that gives everyone a chance to make it. We have no problem with that kind of Capitalism. What we don't like is the CRONY CAPITALISM or CORPORPORATISM that has taken its place. This is actually a form of Corporate Socialism, with taxdollar bailouts, tax cuts to the rich, and corporate subsidies. Policies that favor the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. This is what we have a problem with.

@mal35m Haha, you should re-examine your definitions of these terms. We've never had a capitalist or communistic system. Your definition of capitalism is actually just the definition of what "economy" itself is, haha. Your definition of socialism is reductionist, misguided, and misleading. Your definition of communism is based on Stalinist Russia and Maoist China, both of which were Statism, not communism, statism, they were the farthest thing from Marx's principles
@mal35m People come to conclusions about things without ever studying the original works that laid out these theories. Ever read Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, Das Kapital?, Communist Manifesto? Ok, then don't tell millions of people on youtube what capitalism, socialism, and communism is. Note, Elizabeth Warren is more intelligent than you.
@wspsaves what Mal stated was not in the books, but what occured in the REAL WORLD! Theories are fine but once played out with real human dynamics can we only begin to see the real effects of these theories.
@mal35m Please Stop Posting Your Definitions On every Youtube posting that has anything to do with Elizabeth Warren. The people come here to listen to Elizabeth and make comments about her message. They don't come here to get definitions of Capitalism or Socialism. We can go to Webster's Dictionary for that.
The entire notion of capitalism is not new. The concept has been replayed over and over. From the Athenians in ancient Greece to Rome and the medieval families of the past. The one thing they all have in common is when the people rise and demand change.
I agree with everything she says except there is not consumer protection for everything you touch, taste, smell, wear, makeup, etc etc because they poison our food, our products, our clothes, our water and pretty much everything with dangerous untested man-made chemicals that make us all sick and get cancer. But yes, she is right about the rest.
I'm not a big fan of Michael Moore but I liked this interview. What we need to do get all the PC-nazis, femi-nazis, AA-nazis, gasbaggers, apologists, tree-huggers, and those paying lip-service, kick the whole lot out of academia, and replace them with people like this woman. Academics who care more about people than tenure, and are willing to put their asses on the line to get things done.
@jq747 You know that that is a genius plan, but I have one question...How?
They have the control, the law, the guns, and the resources. How in hell can we kick them out when they have our representatives and senators by the balls, and we can not convince the common layperson to stay local? I have seen people still even when they know the consequences of shopping at big box marts and having their bank account at Bank of America, they still give their money to the thieves. Why? It's cheaper
the probelm isnt capitalism it's the government who accepts bribes from lobbyists when they have the power not to and better yet put them in jail for bribery lol.
@darknight651 the lobbyists are wrong and so are the government. the government has power of law. so they could have not accepted the bribes and even thrown the bribers in jail. so yeah government fault for not dealing with criminals properly. just coz there's a few corrupt rich people just means they should be in jail not that the whole capitalist system is fucked up. dont go calling people bitches.
No fucking kidding. Something like 600 million HOUSEHOLDS in China earn less than the equivalent of $10 a week.
Look at it this way--as a very small (corrupt) subset if those Ching-chong bastards becomes filthy rich making 'things', they STRONGLY depend on US consumers' demand. Hence it's somewhat less likely they'll completely fuck us by dumping treasuries.
China is a paradise for all the world's poor. Long live socialism!
100% of Chinese people own their own land and property. Because we had the revolution. 60 years ago, 300 landowners owned 90% of China's family land, 4 family owns 90% of China's wealth. 400 million Chinese people hungry and cold. So we revolution. Thanks to our leader Chairman Mao, let us live a life today. Looking back now, we cried.
@founoe, Hey, dipshit, let's "Let the Games Begin" ! ! ! :
(1) Your singularly focused assfuck lib brain missed the intellectual inconsistency deserving of MENTAL ILLNESS classification -- the fact that you bend your gay ass over to save whales and murderers, yet to you -- look at your own fucking words -- a fetus IS NOT EVEN ALIVE. What the fuck kind of retard are you? Go down to your local gay community hospital -- UCSF -- and go to the fucking obstetrics unit.
continued... Look at the fucking 22 week gestation fetuses on ultrasound. Look at the efforts they're making to keep them alive. I know a cardiologist born in fucking 1968 when he was fucking 24 weeks gestation. That was a fucking generation ago. BUT NO -- a buttfuck lib like you knows better. You're the 'smart' one, educated by Bill Maher and Moore and MTV and Comedy Central, yeah, I have to defer to YOUR fucking education and intellect.
(2) Let's not digress on the definition of human life too much; that is a question which will NEVER be answered to anyone's satisfaction. As I said, you FUCKING STUPID LIB, the POINT is your fucking intellectual inconsistency in standing up for MICE and WHALES and TREES more than you do for the sanctity of HUMAN life.
It's your RELATIVE VALUE SCALE, dumb buttfucker. And as long as you're fucking tossing up the Hitler card, genuis, can you tell me what the Nazi party thought about the sanctity of human life?
(3) You mentally masturbate more over the "morality" of mice than you do humans? And it's funny how shallow thinking buttfucks like you and Hank Williams are so quick to toss in the Hitler card -- wow, such powerful analogies, too. Expert on history? Expert on Nazi history, in partiucular? Do you think the Nazi party was religious? Come on, boy, let's hear your Berkeley Buttfuck Bullshit, given how you puke up Hitler in conversation so quickly.
When you have children, you look in their eyes, and then tell me when they became "alive." Tell that to the infants born and 35 weeks gestation, at 30 weeks, at 22 weeks down there at UCSF on vents in the NICU.
You pathetic self-centered, selfish, self-absorbed buttfucking liberal. Just keep publishing your NAZI-esque value statements for the public to see ["Embryos do not have functioning brains. I would regard mouse traps a bigger moral issue than abortion..."] -- the only people who chime in and cheer with you are closet skinheads.
While you're google-ing history in desperation to TRY to respond to me, you fuckbrain, go look at what Mao did to his people too. I'm sure a fuckup selfish gay-rights Berkeley buttfuck like you will be in full support of his brand of genocide.
1) Was I talking about your (gay) CZECH navy? NO, so what the fuck business are you fucking talking about? God help your fucking pissant nation, RE-tard, if fucking RE-tards like you serve in their military.
2) You are so fucking stupid, it is almost breathtaking. Let me TRY to spell it out for you, okay, you fucking RE-tard? My comment below pertains to the INCONSISTENCY of AMERICAN liberals who say 18 year olds haven't the mental capacity to properly consent to join the UNITED STATES -- not the CZECH, okay, dipshit? -- MILITARY, while girls who are much younger DO have the mental capacity to consent sans parents to the killing of their unborn children.
OKAY, DUMBFUCK, do I need to spell it out even further??? Maybe 18 years olds, like YOU, ARE indeed too fucking stupid to consent to ANYTHING, as your utter nonsensical nonsequitur comeback to my comment demonstrates.
Czech navy....god damn, you had better be good at peeling potatoes; you are too fucking stupid to make any decisions more complex than that.
It's funny, you could take the combined productivity of all the fuckbrained libs on this thread, and it would be less than that of single wheat farmer in remote Alberta. When you divide their productivity by the social costs of what they suck up in welfare, the number is far below 1.
Sorry, you dope addicted gay euros, I forgot that your economics knowledge is based on Comedy Central or MTV.
Well, well, look what feral children the welfare system dragged in. From a dope smoking single parent multiply body pierced fuckup like "Raykak" to the gay pussie femme-boy swede "founoe" to the breathtakingly stupid Czech "CzechDetectingIdiot". Nice. Hey fag-boy founoe, how does it feel to be enslaved to your government, and to be in a "sensitive men" nation which produces so little? Aw, it's okay, Sven, your scrawny little body in all that fucking cold, snowy weather. Die.
They argue that a 13 girl is mature enough to make a decision to have an abortion mill kill her unborn child WITHOUT EVEN NOTIFYING, let alone receiving PERMISSION from, her parents, yet they claim that 18 year olds aren't old enough to give knowledgeable consent to voluntarily join the military.
Hi, this is Elizabeth Warren! I wanted to inform you that Mr. Moore and I have indeed FUCKED. Admittedly, it was odd--Michael (or 'Sexy Sea Lion', as I like to call my big ol' honey pot) likes to conceal FOOD items in my orifices, and make a meal out of sexplay. And he kept saying "oh, Rosie!" when he was REALLY excited. His penis IS really small, and his sweat smells awful. He also has VERY bad breath.
Because I'm having post facto remorse, I'm going to (falsely) file rape charges.
@ConnorJNixon, hi, this is Elizabeth Warren! I wanted to inform you that Mr. Moore and I have indeed FUCKED.

To cover my post facto shame, I'm going to (falsely) file rape charges.
@dignerds, I could echo your words, but I would be referring to the message in the video as what is truly 'creepy'. Liberals are authentically mentally ill. They'll lecture others about not feeding wild deer in a park "because you'll make them lose their drive to fend for themselves; you'll make them dependent", but they are unable to see the parallel in people. They label those wealthier than themselves as "evil" & feel it necessary for the govt. to confiscate their things to feed the...
..."helpless poor..." blah blah...Yeah, Uh-huh. Are there ANY people who truly can't fend for themselves? Sure, but libs have no fucking common sense in distinguishing laziness & stupidity from physical & mental incapacity. Libs oppose states executing those convicted of heinous crimes after due process, but refuse rules requiring parents simply being NOTIFED their 13 year old daughter is about to have her fetus killed.
Hi, this is Elizabeth Warren again! Michael ("sexy sea lion") just slid some bratwursts up my asshole, then nibbled out the parts that stuck out. Then he carved out the rest, bare handed, getting my poop under his fingernails (could be a late nite snack for him!) The pieces were coated with my colon's slime and anal sweat--fuckin' YUMMIE! Then my big fat love muffin ATE them!!
Fat disingenuous pig. So physically repulsive, so desperate for approval & love, he leads a movement of jealous, bitter, stupid, lazy lemmings against "authority" in the US (conservatives in particular, and adults in general) while hypocritically living as one of those targeted for their disdain. Reminds me of Al "sex offender" Gore.
communism is the answer. it has a great track record. socialist countries like greece are failing today because they don't employ enough communist principles.
@jeepwillyscj2a2007 does this mean everyone should want to be a CEO. what if someone actually likes what they do. The problem is that people with their heads up their asses think there can't possibly be someone who wants to be a truck driver or a cook etc.
@tlrpsu12 No I am not saying everyone should be a CEO but I can think of numerous companies in my area started by people doing "trivial" jobs. For example I know a lady who loves to cook so she started a burger joint and the food is amazing and she makes a killing. I also know an electrician who started out with just his rusty old truck and now has 7 locations with hundreds of employees. By promoting socialism I feel that you kill entrepreneurship which is my dream.
@jeepwillyscj2a2007 The jobs which they make is not for the benefit of other its for their own profits.more work gives more money and for more work more people are needed so more jobs so its all for money not for the good of other people.
@jeepwillyscj2a2007 Every one should not be lazy thats correct.but trying doesnt make ur life always better.you will fail many times trying.the real problem is the top 1% rich are ruining the country and stealing all wealth they own almost 50% of countrys wealth.while the 99% of others share the remaining.and if current system continues then that percentage will rise more to 70% making more people poor.you may be in that lis too.
@darknight651 I really don't understand I try to see it from your view point but I can't. These 1% you refer to I have a hard time believing they are sitting in a high rise office thinking..."how will I destroy everyone's lives". Maybe a few but the majority do not. If we would allow the free market to do it's thing it would be much more functional. Life is unfair..no amount of government or laws can change that. I welcome failure it is an opportunity to learn.
@jeepwillyscj2a2007 you must see this film capitalsim a love story.they do not think of destroying others lives.but they dont care about anyone in the world and want only money even if they have billions of dollars.their desire to get money is infinite.see also the movie called sicko.failure may be oppurtunity learn but sometimes failure will never make You win again in the life.
The reason capitalism doesn't work is because justice and morality are based on equality. Capitalists appeal to a collectivist worldview (since capitalism is a form of collectivism). All morality is an appeal to collectivism. Capitalists says respect our system and everyone will prosper. However that is clearly not the case. Objectivists have bad conscience because they know their philosophy is not coherent. That is why words like "justice" frighten them. Morality is a collectivist endeavor.
I don't wanna be so close to America during its coming revolution... I feel like I should move to Europe for 10-12 years cause it's gonna get reeeeeeal ugly over here before it gets better.
@ThevanGoghBlues me too i just got done typing i agree 100% then i look at yours and it says the same thing anyway. good luck, god bless or whatever and all the best
@ThevanGoghBlues i know i was just giving you an example of 1 program since you said never i was just saying its not really socialism for the rich. i agree with you that these corporations could be wreckless and not worry because theyre supported by the gov. but maybe thats the same thing thats wrong with the low income areas who recieve free money(bailouts) food and shelter and do things like sell drugs(insider trading) on the side. all i know is things cant keep going on the way they are
@ThevanGoghBlues A family of four is kept in their house every day by the gov. all over the united states. welfare, section 8 etc. (btw four is a low number because when they have more kids they can continue to get more benefits from the gov) also it sounds like you are saying the tea party supported the bailouts which to my understanding is the furthest thing from the truth and exactly the kind of thing theyre against.
I am uneducated in economics, law and politics but it seems the problem is not even within economics or law. Capitalism should be renamed 'Methods of Opportunism For Those Wanting to Aggrandise Themselves At The Expense Of Their Fellow Man'. All the problems we are seeing are just the result or are symptomatic of the condition of Psychopathy afflicting enough of the population. This Personality Disorder afflicts about 4% of the population, enough to cause all the problems we have today.
@cayetanoluis Bang on the money (ironic expression in this context)! It's simply impossible in the US to have this discussion - the politics of capitalism is the most destructive system we have used and when I say humans, I'm talking about the tiny 1% at the top maneuvering something into place that suits them. Ordinary people must get educated, organised and fight the bastards.
I think all students in America and around the world should be taught and understand the basic principles of all Economic systems from an objective and balanced perspective and then make decisions based on rational evidence, and not on ideology or superstition like current econ

@marilynr46 No, no, I'm not saying we can't do this, I was just expressing surprise at what Moore said. You know about how you'd think the wealthy would think they owe something back to society after prospering in the 90s. Most wealthy people think about one thing after getting their first ten million - how to get their next ten million as quickly as possible.
Sistarovat 3 months ago
@Sistarovat Unfortunately, that is the way it has become. There was a time several decades ago--and Moore is nostalgic about that era--when people who were wealthy and successful thought about more than just themselves, or, at least, felt a cultural pressure not to be quite so brazen in their greed. It was probably the memory of the Depression, from which many took away the lesson that unbridled greed leads to ruin, and of WWII, which was an experience of shared sacrifice for a greater good.

Michael Moore acts like he's on something. Corporate America is not going to have the attitude of - hey maybe I can give something back. Why? Because corporate America is composed of human beings and human beings are sinful - in other words, incapable of thinking about anybody other than themselves. That's just simple human nature. Expecting anything else out of people just makes you a hopeless, senseless utopian.

Substandard wages are the result of outsourcing, not illegals. In fact outsourcing is done partly to keep wages low here in America. I won't call you a liar, I'll just say you're full of sh*t. OK????

So we can regulate Capitalism. It was done in the past. When we got rid of these regulations, we found ourselves in the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression. We CAN put them back in place, and can put in place other regulations tailored to the specific economic problems we are facing now (that are different from the Great Depression). Someone has sold you a "poison package" and convinced you that this is Socialism, when this is really just "common sense".

Why do so many Conservatives think that we have this dichotomy of free market Capitalism on one side and Socialism on the other side and there is NOTHING in between.

How do we pay for our public school system? How to we pay for our National Defense? We, the taxpayers pay collectively into the system. That's Socialism.

@hotice1027 What has complete deregulation done to our economy? We have 14 million unemployed, many more underemployed or earning substandard wages, 46 million people living in poverty. You're the type who's always complaining about taxes, but do you realize when so many people are unemployed, it increases the tax burden on all the rest of us. The unemployed and poverty-stricken people are not mandated to pay taxes because their income is too low. They also turn to public assistance.

@hotice1027 We have already regulated "Capitalism". When we came out of the Great Depression, we put several regulations in place" Glass-Steagall, FDIC Insurance, and new SEC regulations. Our economy thrived for fifty years, until we came to the 1980s. At that time,. we thought we didn't need regulations any more (times had changed), so we started to deregulate. That's when we started to have ecomomic crises, which we ignored (Savings and Loan Crisis, Long-Term Capital Management Crisis, Enron)

Meanwhile, the investent banks were placing bets against them, making billions, while investors lost all their money. You know all this.

@founoe,
When you have children, you look in their eyes, and then tell me when they became "alive." Tell that to the infants born and 35 weeks gestation, at 30 weeks, at 22 weeks down there at UCSF on vents in the NICU.

Are you a TOTAL FUCKING RE-TARD, or what?

My comment below pertains to the INCONSISTENCY of AMERICAN liberals who say 18 year olds haven't the mental capacity to properly consent to join the UNITED STATES -- not the CZECH, okay, dipshit? -- MILITARY, while girls who are much younger DO have the mental capacity to consent sans parents to the killing of their unborn children.

They argue that a 13 girl is mature enough to make a decision to have an abortion mill kill her unborn child WITHOUT EVEN NOTIFYING, let alone receiving PERMISSION from, her parents, yet they claim that 18 year olds aren't old enough to give knowledgeable consent to voluntarily join the military.

"kill her unborn child"
Nice rhetoric you've got there. Hitler said: "If you tell a lie long and loud enough, people will eventually start to believe it".
When you say "Kill" it implies that the EMBRYO is alive. And when you say "Child" it implies that it is not an EMBRYO.

Hi, this is Elizabeth Warren! I wanted to inform you that Mr. Moore and I have indeed FUCKED. Admittedly, it was odd--Michael (or 'Sexy Sea Lion', as I like to call my big ol' honey pot) likes to conceal FOOD items in my orifices, and make a meal out of sexplay. And he kept saying "oh, Rosie!" when he was REALLY excited. His penis IS really small, and his sweat smells awful. He also has VERY bad breath.
Because I'm having post facto remorse, I'm going to (falsely) file rape charges.

Sure, but libs have no fucking common sense in distinguishing laziness & stupidity from physical & mental incapacity. Libs oppose states executing those convicted of heinous crimes after due process, but refuse rules requiring parents simply being NOTIFED their 13 year old daughter is about to have her fetus killed.

Fat disingenuous pig. So physically repulsive, so desperate for approval & love, he leads a movement of jealous, bitter, stupid, lazy lemmings against "authority" in the US (conservatives in particular, and adults in general) while hypocritically living as one of those targeted for their disdain. Reminds me of Al "sex offender" Gore.

@tlrpsu12 No I am not saying everyone should be a CEO but I can think of numerous companies in my area started by people doing "trivial" jobs. For example I know a lady who loves to cook so she started a burger joint and the food is amazing and she makes a killing. I also know an electrician who started out with just his rusty old truck and now has 7 locations with hundreds of employees. By promoting socialism I feel that you kill entrepreneurship which is my dream.

@darknight651 I really don't understand I try to see it from your view point but I can't. These 1% you refer to I have a hard time believing they are sitting in a high rise office thinking..."how will I destroy everyone's lives". Maybe a few but the majority do not. If we would allow the free market to do it's thing it would be much more functional. Life is unfair..no amount of government or laws can change that. I welcome failure it is an opportunity to learn.

The reason capitalism doesn't work is because justice and morality are based on equality. Capitalists appeal to a collectivist worldview (since capitalism is a form of collectivism). All morality is an appeal to collectivism. Capitalists says respect our system and everyone will prosper. However that is clearly not the case. Objectivists have bad conscience because they know their philosophy is not coherent. That is why words like "justice" frighten them. Morality is a collectivist endeavor.

I am uneducated in economics, law and politics but it seems the problem is not even within economics or law. Capitalism should be renamed 'Methods of Opportunism For Those Wanting to Aggrandise Themselves At The Expense Of Their Fellow Man'. All the problems we are seeing are just the result or are symptomatic of the condition of Psychopathy afflicting enough of the population. This Personality Disorder afflicts about 4% of the population, enough to cause all the problems we have today.
