Capitalism is Evil! (says Moore)

[The Rev]

Michael Moore's new film says that capitalism is evil. It's easy for him to say that considering the millions he's made of if. Without Capitalism I wonder what in the world he would be doing, certainly not making money off his good looks!

Socialism is for most socialists a theory they'd like others to follow.

So, you are against people making money? If so, how in the world is the other 99% of the sponges supposed to live?

I'm sure he would but in most other countries he'd have to pay more tax.
Wackos like that like to rant and rave, as long as it doesn't affect their pocketbooks.
Now that Liberal is NUTZ! or from another world.

I'm not inclined to spend much of my time researching this, but I guess I would prefer to see his arguments and demonstrations why Capitalism is bad, rather than a bunch of cheap shots at him. Of course, on the other hand, you might argue what are Michael Moore's bonafides for being qualified to speak or discourse on this or any other intellectual topic? I'm not sure he has any credentials in that area.

There are advantages and disadvantages in any economic system. Seeing any economic system as all good or all bad is simply empty headed. Feudalism has positive points. Communism/socialism has positive points. Capitalism has positive points. Each, in turn, has negative points.

I think we can all agree that capitalism is by far the most successful system of them all with regard to the individual, ironically that fat braying asshat Moore is living proof of it.

That speaks volumes. Not many well off socialists subscribe to their very notion. Look at Moore. He makes millions off capitalism, while bashing that which allowed him to polish his pennies.
