Michael Moore: There is a Looting of Our Treasury Going On

"I think this is a looting of our Treasury going on right now. And here is another thing, too. Can I just say this, Larry? I would like to see -- when they come to Congress tomorrow and the next day, these auto heads, I would like them to stand up, raise their hand, and say 'I just want to tell you that, you know what? Capitalism doesn't work. The free enterprise system we have been telling you about all these years, it doesn't work. We don't really believe in it. We believe that if we build cars people don't buy, you, the taxpayer, should give us money anyways.'" -- Michael Moore on Larry King Live, Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Our government is so messed up!

It's ran by multi-billion dollar corporations who continue to change the laws and rules to suit themselves. Its like playing cards with a child, if they start to loose or get frustrated they change the rules.

We as a country need to say enough is enough. We should stop following there rules and do unto them as they done to the citizens of these united states.

GtheMVP is right. BOTH political parties are corrupt. McCain & Obama BOTH took money from Goldman Sacks, J.P. Morgan-Chase, Bank of America, Morgan-Stanley, Citigroup, etc. BIG corporations own BOTH political parties and are stealing all of our money from both sides of the political fence. They ALL need to go. Our country & government would work fine if it was complete purged of the corruption by the banks and the large Corporations AND BOTH political parties. That will be REAL change.

Wow, how prophetic Michael Moore was. Some people still pretend that if they protect the elite, that the elite will protect them. Dream on McFly. The rich are rewriting the rules to make sure that none of us ever get into their club.

@mccainisthroughX, What's the matter, lib, unable to defend your point of view against an informed, well reasoned challenge? Too accustomed to making your case in front of the Comedy Central gallery? Well, now, aren't YOU all well-informed!! Well, Homer, you can't block or delete me here, so WELCOME TO THE GAME. Let's get it on, huh?

Coward spineless adolescents like you are sickening. You're like a teenage child in a wealthy home who badmouths his parents. You STAND FOR nothing.

I will never forget this man Michael Moore has a lot of nerve after He and Nader

help Bush/ Cheney steal the 2000 election. He helped Nader take enough votes off

of Gore so that it was easy for Bush's people to flip the vote. He is the turning point as to how we are in this mess today. He will go down in history for this fact only!

@satchboogyfan There is one simple solution ot that. If Congress changed campaign laws where no politican was allowed to campaign ever (including no political ads by anyone) and only a set number of debates were allowed in election cycle with each candidate given a time limit, you would see the end of the lobbying industry entirely and this level of corruption.

YES but it didn't go our way AT ALL.

@NataliaToronto

Actually it will be know-nothing pant up teenagers attacking people on the streets. That is what the One-Day Strike will be. This teenagers leave the colleges not qualified of any type of jobs, unable to hold a job because the see themselves as victims. They want things for nothing.

So if you drive a car no matter how old or cheap model you drive, you will be attacke because you are "rich", you are the problem because you are dirving a car, probably to work.

@kn9ioutom

If people refuse to take responsibility, you are bound to repeat it.

Michael Moore is a populist, doesn't care about the truth other then lining his own pockets, he will outright lie, if not stretch the truth. He will preach demagoguery absolving people from the responsibility of what happen, then searching for scapegoats.

What is a GOP version of capitalism? Is that the new slogan that will be repeated by bleating lambs? If you talking about the housing & the collapse of the banking system, that was a problem brewing since the latter years of the Clinton presidency.

For this dance, it took to to tango, irresponsible people applying for more then one mortgage or loans, credit card abuse, & the banks.

I don't blamie Clinton for the subprime mortgage, but people abusing it.
