"Don't save up your treasures on Earth, where moths destroy them and thieves steal them."

The money and power should be shared with everyone, so that we all can together prosper and improve our lives.

Why do all those who disagree with Michael Moore attack him and his person, and not his movies? It always stuns me how people who disagree with him don't really have any views themselves, they just have this idea that any change, or wish for change is dangerous, and that the status quo is always the best solution. Their biggest wish is for all to shut up.

@GoldEagle1887 THat statement makes no sense at all. Capitalism is an evil and unjust system that all holy men say needs to be eliminated for the good of Terrestrial Mankind.

@chrispollock Well, I wouldn't call those people greedy. they are the people who give people the option to work and make something out of it, like using and managing money wisely and then having an easeful retirement; that's one point about capitalism. Socialism is about having the government taking control of business and other structures of making a living. It's kinda like when people do not care about how their later lives would unravel, or having a lack of self-sufficiency

@Beamshipcaptain well that's what people think, until they look and learn about it from the inside

@416thenomad If so, then shall the whole world take it's last breath

@Drastam

That's the sad truth, psychopaths flock to power as moths to a yellow light, and the vast majority of them are incompetent, unashamed liars. They cover for each other religiously, they will try to avoid one of their own to be reprimanded or prosecuted, for fear they may be next.

People need to wake up and demand better controls over the institutions/systems that control and manipulate their lives.

@OderuntDumMetuant

What a moron! It is EXACTLY this government de-regulation, this allowing Capitalism to work unfettered by government (i.e. people) control that brought about this whole crisis. We've only just begun to see what horrors will be brought about with Capitalism left to its own devices.

Wean yourself off Fox news jingoisms Oderunt. Stop being stupid... if you have the capacity... if you have it.

@MartinGist  Amen.

[DCUPtoejuice]

the film is about big government corruption and collusion with banks and corporations but these idiots call it capitalism.

[416thenomad]

Kapitalists.. Socialist Revolution on the Horizon! Take your last breath!

Thank you Father. If more people like you speak up we may still stand a chance.
