In his documentary "Capitalism: A Love Story", Michael Moore states that Wal-Mart is unethical because it purchases life insurance policies on its employees - and his viewers agree with him. Not only is Moore wrong, but he is dishonest, and his viewers need to learn economics before they comment on these issues.

  • why dous the dead peasant insurrence exist at all if these people are so replasable as they are.

  • Most of these employees will be replaceable, if not always right away. The loss doesn't just come from that one employee's labour, however, but the organizational and scheduling problems that come with it. If you have five people working on a task, and one leaves unexpectedly, you will usually lose more than just a fifth of the productivity. The output of the remaining workers will decrease while they reorganize to make up for the lost member.

  • I also hear that there are tax benefits to the practice. If insurance can be written off tax-free as an expense, it will be used far more often than it needs to be.

  • You're right, Moore is no idiot. Neither was Hitler. It is not an issue of idiocy. It it an issue of ethical fiber of which Moore has none. Well done.

  • Attacking an entire sect of people who agree with Michael and disagree with you, does not make them idiots. It makes them adults. Try making this video again once you've grown up, had kids of your own, and struggled a little. It's easy to spew garbage you do not understand when you're young and living off your parents money.

  • @NoGodsOrKings It is wrong for companies to take life insurance from their works. play and simple. And why is that walmart does not provide good health insurance to its workers?? The only reason walmart buys insurance to protects it self from possible law suit is because it does not provide good health care for its employees. Dont worry the revolution is coming and will bring down corporate america
