Moore discloses a recent phone call he received from a “well known, well connected” person around the Democratic Party to “cool it” on the senator from Connecticut. —– Who are we and why do we behave the way that we do? Writer, director and producer Michael Moore has been trying to answer that question his entire filmmaking career. His latest film, Capitalism: A Love Story, investigates the powerful forces behind the calamitous predicament in which countless Americans are finding themselves: losing their homes, jobs and savings to foot the bill for past spending. What is the price that America – and the rest of the world – pays for its love of capitalism? From Middle America to the halls of power in Washington to the global financial epicenter in Manhattan, Moore takes filmgoers into uncharted territory as he tries to get to the heart of the matter. – Commonwealth Club of California Michael Moore is an Academy Award-winning American filmmaker, author and liberal political commentator. He is the director and producer of Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11, and Sicko, three of the top five highest-grossing documentaries of all time.

I want some of Michael Moore’s money, too…where do I send a letter of request?
@Twilightifyable First off, the money he makes isn’t from the machine of capitalism, which you’d know if you knew the definition.
Second, the rich should share the wealth THROUGH TAXES. That’s why Democrats generally put forth progressive tax plans (those who make over a certain amount pay a slightly higher percentage of tax).

@Twilightifyable Then Moore should share some of his own money and get the ball rolling.
Michael Moore made the bulk of his $25 million off Capitalism (GOOGLE – celebrity net worth). He disavows Capitalism by saying “Communism has won. Socialism has prevailed” watch?v=SRRe0EFdNpI
.
Michael Moore states that the “Rich should share the wealth” He states that the money of the rich is ours. watch?v=wzfd_sNw2-Y

“Michael, where’s my fair share of your money?”
@cwrowe Do you have any idea what the hell you’re talking about? With socialism doctors will be paid shit money. Specialists will drop down to a bare minimum. Same with physicians. Treatment quality will significantly drop as there won’t be funding for future medication development and hospitals will downsize and be run like the BMV. Patients with cancer and other severe diseases will be put on a wating list to wait their turn for treatment. Learn about what you’re getting in to fool.
The only thing that socialized medical care in the US would do is to put another one of our freedoms in the hands of the federal government which at this moment is trying like hell to hand our US SOVEREIGNTY over to a bunch of socialist/communists in the UN who want to push the agenda for a “one world government”…of course it would be a government that they were in charge of and we would be the slaves to do their bidding or they would refuse us the crumbs that fall from the table…
@13shahin You seem to be saying that money is the root of all evil but the truth Religion, Greed and Envy are. One fosters the other. War is profitable my Persian friend. The true enemy of peace is the Central Banking System and The Arms Dealers. No money, no weapons, no war. Simple. Tolerate one another and respect each others beliefs and keep your beliefs to yourselves and we can harmony in this world.
Michael Moore is a Fat, Cheesy, Phony, who got rich Championing the Underdogs of the World. And no we don’t universal health care, we want a health care system that allows the poor the same heath care the filthy rich. The solution is in the greedy hands of Corporate America. End poverty and pay people so they can afford health care comparable to what you fat cats get. If you want self reliance, make it possible.
@PatriotTexas I’m not a fucking Liberal you idiot!
@13shahin Somebody needs to tell the muslims “Kill All Infidels” is not a proper frame of mind. That leaves all us infidels with no choice but to kill muslims first to protect ourselves from the arab threat. Is that not a logical conclusion of common sense from the infidels viewpoint. Since the koran is copied from the bible. “Thou shall not Kill” is one of the 10 commandments.
@bobmarleyisgod1 Why don’t you get off the right wing crap and point the finger where problem is. We both know the liftist libtard party has become so vile even conservative democrats cannot stand the leftist elitst scum in charge of it. That pal is fact !!!!!. I suggest you do the same when you someone’s name too, I get the same crap from lefties like you all the time.
Nothing personal but you need to cool the libtard act
He needs to cool it on fatty foods and snacks and hit the gym before he dies of heart failure in the next five years.

@gregboyds We don’t need to use all our money on ridiculous defenses we don’t need. The reason you’re country needs it is because you’re both paranoid and arrogant imperialists. We do pay our healthcare through taxes. The welfare program started long before we found oil. The oil was just fuel for the fire.
@gregboyds Let me answer all your statements. 1: We do not pollute, we take up the oil, then sell it. Norway itself relays on reusable resources like wind-power and dams. 2: If Norway joins the EU, Norwegian agriculture and fishing industry will collapse, thus leaving thousands of people in the mud. 3: Norwegian soldiers have been in Afghanistan since 2001. Norwegian soldiers have died. We are currently taking part in the bombing of Libya, and Norwegian soldiers were stationed in the Balkans.
@bobmarleyisgod1 Norway always preaches to others about not polluting. But ALL of norway’s money comes from selling oil, and oil is the WORST pollutant in the world. So norway is like the drug dealer, and those who buy from norway are like the drug users. Which is worse?! Norway preaches international cooperation, but you refuse to join the EU, and you refuse to do your duty in NATO. The world has zero respect for norway. Norwegians are insecure, arrogant, hypocritical, lazy liars. FUCK NORWAY!
@bobmarleyisgod1 Don’t compare norway(or europe) to America. If norway/europe used only half of what you pay for social welfare, on defense, you would pay as much as America pays for defense. And America pays ten times more than the rest of the world COMBINED for defense, which allows norway and europe to spend most of your money on social welfare, which America CANNOT afford because we are paying for YOUR defense. And you refuse to do your duty in NATO, only sending soldiers to safe areas.
@bobmarleyisgod1 “Norway’s oil” belongs to ALL of europe. Why the hell should it belong only to norway just because norway is on the coast?! Your government passed a law forbidding norwegian soldiers from going into dangerous areas of Afghanistan. This is why so few norwegians have died there compared to other NATO soldiers. You also withdrew all of your soldiers from Iraq. Should we other NATO lands only help norway in SAFE AREAS when you need our help?! Norway should be expelled from NATO.
@bobmarleyisgod1 FUCK YOU, AND ALL OF NORWAY! You do NOT “pay your healthcare through taxes”, as you say. You are able to pay them because you are lucky to have OIL. Even your own crown prince Haakon said that without oil norway would be as poor as Uganda. The year is 2011, but norway refuses to join the EU and do its part. I know norway well, and I know how you love to brag about how great you are. It is ALL BULLSHIT. Norway has no major industry like Sweden has. Sweden is rich WITHOUT oil.
@StonewallJackson26 Fuckstick? Good one.
@bobmarleyisgod1 I am not a right winger fuckstick. I am just a guy who is sick and tired of seeing his tax dollars pissed away.
@StonewallJackson26 Good Sir, I listen mostly to Classical music and Heavy Metal, and if you checked my favorites you would understand that. The point of the username is to piss off narrow minded cretins like you. Typical right wing American idiot, you see my username and then it’s all you talk about. Any mention of Rastafarianism again would be evidence of your apparent lack of reasonable arguments.
@bobmarleyisgod1 Right.I need education. And you obviously think that Rasta is a commendable way of life. Rasta which promotes laziness, drugs, and societal disobedience. Which are the three biggest reasons why there might be poverty in any given country.
