Micheal Moore says some real stuff

Michael Moore talks about many of the things that I've come to realize over the years. These realizations are why I've been preaching the necessity of job security (typically safeguarded by a union) along with a safe, secure defined benefit (pension). The point he makes around a minute in about unions creating the middle class by going to war with big businesses hits close to home. The comment about us putting our defined contribution retirement plans (401k, 403b) into what's basically a casino (stock market) was particularly clever, and dead on. Look what happened last year.

I can't wait to see his new movie. I hope that the nation finally wakes up and realizes how we're all being screwed.

I've been wanting to watch Sicko, but only because of my interest in the health care industry.

I am sorry but what Michael Moore defines as "capitalism" isn't captialism. And captialism is an economic system. The opposite isn't democracy which is a political system.

People do not pay attention to what is their 401(k) plans or other retirement plans. They let the "professionals" do it for them. I am sure this ignorance played no part in this.

Unions did not creat the middle class. This was created by small business. Middle class is not created by unions or "the kindness of the rich". Moore's premise is flawed.

even in "democracy" most people do not call the shots. they elect people to represent them in doing so. Those representatives of both parties have been corrupt as any corportaion.

How much money does Moore have?

Michael Moore takes good points then devalues them.

He is a sensationalist using social issues as springboards for attention and profit.
Sorta like "60 Minutes" and "Oprah".

A for profit propagandist.

What Moore has a problem with is corporate welfare. It's pretty amazing that he can't tell the difference between that and capitalism. Since the 'publicans had a lot to do with TARP, etc., I have no use for them. If I recall, it was Dubya's idea in the first place.

I won't be seeing his new movie or any other movie he's had anything to do with. I have no interest in supporting his cheeseburger habit.

I HATE Michael Moore. He's just in everything for the shock value. Though he does raise some good points, his strategies suck.

Corporate welfare is a problem. Compenstation of executives at poor performing corporations is a problem. This does not mean the whole system need to be thrown out.

Moore know exactly what he is doing and he is trying to get a reaction. He wants to replace capitalism with socialism. He has replaced the word socialism with democracy. "People will vote to take the wealth from the top 1 percent" as he says. If anyone calls him on his semantics, he will simply label them part of the vast right wing conspiracy. Of course Michael is a part of the top 1 percent. For some reason I get the feeling he will be exempt.
