4 days till the greatest movie of all time!!

We saw it on Saturday, it is funny in parts, and tragic and absurd in parts. Who knew large corporations insured their employees and made themselves - the company - beneficiary? The employees are referred to as 'dead peasants. Some of the personal stories were so sad in a nation that should never treat its citizens in this manner. See it before you judge it and if you don't see it, please keep your empty opinions private as they would be based on the same emptiness that occupies your head.

The most interesting piece was the memo from, I believe citibank, on the have and have nots. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jonathan-kim/rethink-review-emcapitali_b_301540.html

"Another surprising disclosure is an internal Citigroup memo that claims that the US doesn't have an economy, but a "plutonomy" -- an economy based primarily on spending by the very rich. With the richest 20% of Americans responsible for over 60% of overall spending, the richest 10% accounting for 43% of income and 57% of net worth, and inequality between the rich and poor increasing unabated, the memo's authors feel that the smart investments are on the rich and their luxurious toys. The non-rich proles (AKA the rest of us) can fuck off and die unless we use our vast numerical advantage at the voter booth to pass laws restricting the redistribution of wealth from the poor and the disappearing middle class to the rich."


And FDR's bill of rights II is something I have posted but rarely seen.

"Myers is no stranger to "dead peasant" insurance lawsuits. In 2004, he successfully settled a $10.4 million lawsuit with Wal-Mart on behalf of more than 350 families of employees who had been secretly insured by the company."

It appears some aspect of Free Market Capitalism is alive and well.

Moore's latest tripe was an absolute FLOP.

:)
 
michael moore the fat fraking hypocrite!!! raking in millions and duping the people like hussein is doing. asked what he spends his money on and you'll find that it's not help poor or middle class people!! the guy is a phucking joke!!!! hope he chokes on a whopper!!
 
Micheal Moore's movies have enough truth in them to make the wingnuts froth at the mouth. And nobody has been able to prove that he lied in any of them. Put his spin on the facts, but no lies. Unlike the Conservatives for Patients Rights whose whole spiel is nothing but lies.

Capitalism as practiced in America today is not something that Adam Smith would recognize or approve of. It no longer works for the investor or the laborer. It only works for the parasites that run the incestous boards of directors.

and they have enough lies and twisted bullshit in them that YOU and your ilk should also be frothing at the mouth at this Capitalistic bastURD Rocks.....why are you not disgusted with how this asshole twists his "facts" Rocks?..........
 
after the BS in Bowling for Columbine.... guys a fraud .... spins every legitimate point............

Wow. Everyone's so angry.
As if Moore made a movie about you personally!

And I have yet to read is this thread an example of one of these "lies" you're all so mad about.
Go ahead, list a few...
Convince me.

You are confusing mocking with anger? :eusa_eh:
 
The first lie was that this had anything in particular to do with corporate greed. This was about a housing bubble that the government had been constructing since WWII finally collapsing as prices finally outstripped the ability of average Americans to pay for them.

Yup - banks forced to make loans to people who had no way to repay. Acorn was right in the thick of that mess, and Obama played his own Acorn role.

I am sure Moore went into great detail about that...

One thing that I found interesting was the religious who came down hard on the propaganda that makes people love what makes them 'dead peasants.' It is fascinating stuff that people praise 'corporate communism,' as it denies them freedom under the guise they are already free and it's those other guys who want to take their freedom. Too too funny.

This was another interesting segment in the film.

"Crucially, Moore (or at least his researchers) has done a fine job in ferreting out the human stories behind the headlines. None of these is so horrifyingly absurd as the tale of the privatised youth detention centre in Pennsylvania, run with the help of a crooked local judge who railroaded kids through his court for a cut of the profits. Some 6,500 children were later found to have been wrongly convicted for such minor infractions as smoking pot and "throwing a piece of steak at my mom's boyfriend". The subsequent bill for their incarceration went directly to the taxpayer." Michael Moore's 'Capitalism' Flick Rips into Crimes of Wall Street | Movie Mix | AlterNet

I would wonder what any of that has to do with capitalism, but I already know that Michael Moore isn't all that bright.

Summary of Moore's Movie:

1. All the bad things that happened in the past two years are proof that Capitalism is an evil system.

2. Angry people who were hurt by all the bad things in the past year want to violently overthrow Capitalism, with good reason.

3. We need to violently overthrow our Capitalism overlords on Wallstreet, ASAP.

4. Socialism is the answer.

The movie message, in a song:

Moore sure knows how to use useful idiots to make a buck, eh?

His fans don't see the irony in paying a millionaire to see a movie about the evils of kapitalism...
