Michael Moore and Arianna Huffington Discuss Heroes of 'Capitalism: A Love Story'

"The number one reason for bankruptcies in the United States is medical bills ... I don't think even what I put with Elizabeth Warren here in this film does her justice. I have a whole hour that she gave me." — Michael Moore

He made his money by having the balls, unlike most Americans, to stand up and invloving himself in our countries discourse. Regardless of whether you agree with his opinions or not, atleast he is trying to make a difference.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

[Tougemaster06]

Making money isn't exclusive to Capitalism. Nor is making money wrong.

@WKaliberr

Exactly!!!

That is why people are dying on rafts and in the desert to leave their socialist motherlands and come to America.

Last time I checked, socialism has a flawless record of keeping people down and not allowing them to be free.

@goldsilverandiamonds The "lowering of lending standards" you refer to was permitted, not forced, by the lending deregulation under Bush 43 and a Republican congress. Many fly-by-night "subprime" mortgage companies were more than happy to make these loans if they could make them look sound and attractive, then sell them to other banks and investors. It's widely recognized that these new kinds of lending practices really took off in the past decade, not the Carter or Clinton years.

@com THE LIBERAL CONGRESS IS TO BLAME F O R THE L O W E R I N G of the standards! Liberals are to blame for the lowering of lending standards which lead to the bankrupcy of America,but also are schools an our inabilty to compete with the rest of the world. LIBERALS LOVE TO LOWER THE STANDARDS OF SOCIETY so that they can increase their voter base!! This does not help society it only hurts it...and LIBERALS KNOW THIS,MICHAEL MOORE knows this and he MAKES TONS OF MONEY OFF THE STUPID AND IGNORANT!

This is a test-post, I'm having trouble.

@goldsilverandiamonds The CRA of 1977 was passed 30 years ago and only 1/4 of the defaulted mortgages are covered by it anyway. It was the lending deregulation under Bush that allowed all sorts of deceptive "creative lending" practices with exploding interest rates and fees by "subprime" lenders who then sold the loans to other banks or investment groups. Many "subprime" lenders made a fortune while secondary banks and investors, along with the homeowners themselves, got stuck with a time bomb.

Two fat douchebags.

[1dannymega1]

[Dagney77]

Moore is right. Obama has totally sold us out.
