Moore is a multimillionaire now bashing capitalism. Capitalism is how he obtained his wealth. He is just another silly idealist (and hypocrite) living in a lala land of equality wishing for a world where a dunce can have the same quality of life as a bright, well educated person. IT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. Our system is based upon competition and the cream will always rise to the top. There are as many ways to get rich today as there were yesterday or a year ago and those with decent intellect, education and drive can and will do just fine. The lower IQ people will remain at the bottom where they always have been and nothing short of communism will change that. Life is nothing but a series of choices and it is the quality of the choices you make that determine your outcome and poor people generally make poor choices and smart people tend to make smart choices.
If nature wanted equality we would all have the same IQ.

So you must be a conservative. Goes to show you the mindset of conservatives that you need to call attention to his size and not just the issues he brings to the light be they car makers, guns, healthcare, or the way we use our wealth.

Is that all there is, liberal and conservative? I'm an atheist, I like freedom, freedom for women to choose, freedom for gays to get married, freedom to own guns. I think drug laws that attempt to protect people from themseves are stupid, I am against a socialist government that wants to subsidize a large underclass at the expense of working taxpayers, I am against this mass migration of uneducated third worlders who are ruining the quality of life in our country. So am I a conservative or a liberal?

Moore isnt bashing capitalism.....he is bashing the perverted thing that capitalism has become.....we prosecute the Ken Lays and Bernie Madoffs for cooking the books but yet we let Bush/Cheney waltz out of the White House after cooking the books of the US Treasury far worse than Lay,Madoff and all the others combined cooked their books.
Bush and Cheney fought two wars and borrowed money to pay for them while handing our own money to us as 'tax breaks' that will eventually have to be repaid BY us with INTEREST to CHINA while not even counting the debts into the budget.Bush and Cheney opened the US Treasury and emptied it out to their rich billionaire CEO buddies just before they left office to the tune of almost a trillion dollars and we ,as a nation,stood by and uttered nary a word.
Now when Obama adds up all the debt and says we must start paying it off ,we want to kill the messenger.
Moore is just trying to get us up off our lazy butts before we become a third world debtor nation....Oops!...too late.

Oh, I see, poor people make a choice to be born poor. Poor people
choose not to afford health insurance. Poor people all have low
IQ's. Poor people caused corporate crooks to behave badly. Poor people crashed the companies they ran. Poor people escaped those companies with golden parachutes and billions of dollars that were somehow "earned" by being greedy, arrogant and incompetent thugs. Poor people are bad, rich people are good.(Such brilliant mentality!)
Life in the corporate world is nothing but a series of choices made by cronies, for cronies. If you believe every CEO out there deserves a position making thousands of dollars an hour, lala land is your domain, from Enron to AIG.
Michael Moore exposing the excesses, greed and hubris of those
that run these capitalist companies (into the ground) somehow
equates to "bashing capitalism and completely exposes the naiveté
and smug indifference of those embracing conservative ideology, and the fact that they live in a simplistic world of the perfect hypocrisy.
After the catastrophic corporate corruption and incompetence of
the Bush years, conservatives are still acting like it didn't
happen while projecting their own criminality, incompetence and
shortcomings onto everyone but those that created the messes,
or simply sat by and did nothing while corporate capitalists
ran amok.
It's a hoot reading the garbage posted by those of the conservative persuasion.
Can anyone say, "Social Darwinism?"

Pat: Socialism does not subsidize a large underclass at the expense of taxpayers, capitalism does that, to keep them quiet. Socialism subsidizes them at the expense of the very wealthy.
And, that is a fact. Study your history.
