Michael Moore on Anderson Cooper Live from Occupy Oakland (10/28/11)

"This movement, in the next year or two or few years is going to create a democratic economic system. That's the most important thing. Whatever we come up with, it has to have at its core -- the American people are going to be the ones controlling this economy. We're going to have a say, a big say, THE say, in how this economy is run. That say can not happen by the people in the penthouse offices on Wall Street. That is over. That is over. We've declared it over. Now it's just a matter of time until we actually make this happen, when we bring democracy -- true democracy -- to this country." -- Michael Moore on Anderson Cooper live from Occupy Oakland, Friday, October 28th, 2011

@OccupyIdeas Response 2: In all of those instances, state and federal executives sent in troops - regular army and national guard - on behalf of the corporations. This is well-known US history. It's amazing that people can just gloss over it when discussing "the free market." To learn about your gilded age (before those bastard progressives started to impose their draconian regulations) look up the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire.

Micheal Moore Is hope we all needed, Fuck you Anderson Cooper, you can't even come out of the closet let alone speak the truth mainstream news is so corrupt and full of lies. Micheal Moore is the Truth!

Peter Schiff is right, Michael Moore is wrong. Michael Moore's answer just proves he doesn't have the answer. Peter Schiff does though, and that is True Free-Market Capitalism that's only regulated by the Market, not the government. Capitalism is the Solution not the problem, and we haven't had Capitalism in decades. It's time we go back to Capitalism

I CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE MICHAEL MOORE BECOME PETER SCHIFFS NEXT VICTIM!!!!!!!

It pisses me off that when you ask the average American what government they have, they almost always say democrasy. No, its a Constitutional Republic. If the government feels strongly enough against the people, your vote doesn't matter.

The wonders of the patriot act... Michael Moore is a patriot who acts!

[msnutelly]

While Moore is against capitalism most occupy protesters are simply against corporatism, a cause with which we think tea partners would sympathize (since corporatism has decimated small business capitalism in this country) One person one vote right? Let's get both unions and corporations out of elections.

Isn't Michael Moore part of the 1%?

Oh my God. I would LOVE to see you try to set up this system. "Ok, you can work as much or as little as you want, and you will be taken care of. You will produce according to your means (or desires) and receive according to your needs. It will be a peaceful paradise of solitude where EVERYONE will be entitled to a year of paid vacation every year if they so choose and the rich will pay enough taxes that when all is said and done they have no more money than the average American. PARADISE!"
