Capitalism is evil

What a grandstanding D-Bag I mean seriously capitalism is evil? I mean what a stupid thing to say. You know my relatives who immigrated here dreamed of a place where you could come and be given a chance to live out your dreams and pursue everything you want. Will it work out for you who knows you need a little bit of skill and a lot of luck but it might or might not but the point is you were given a shot.

 

I use to think that Moore was just a far left leaning guy (You know wants things to be like Europe and Canada no guns, universal health care, high tax rates on the rich and upper middle class, huge spending on social welfare instead of the military, free college education) which was OK I might even somewhat agree with him on a few points but to just say outright capitalism is evil with no qualifier is just stupid and hypocritical.

 

Sure capitalism may drive people to do stupid and evil things but it also drives a lot of people to create and do good things. Sure a lot of things are driven by profit but doesn't having the freedom to do good things based off of profit or on your own merit a good thing. IF I want to work hard and share my money and dedicate my free time than that is on its own a good thing because I am doing the right thing because its right not because I am forced to and that makes it truly a good act.

 

Now if I work hard (Or not so hard in some cases) and get a lot of money and choose to enjoy it and not really give a crap about everyone than that's my freedom to do so. I pay my taxes which go to help people and I don't do anything to knowingly harm anyone that's my freedom to do so.

 

I don't know what system Moore wants even Europe there are Billionaires and millionaires who might not have done the most moral things to get there. So to Mike Moore screw you.

Will someone please tell Michael Moore that there is no great big wall surrounding this country and that he is free to leave it for good at any time. I'm sure there would be more than a few Americans who would foot the bill if he promised not to come back.

Take the "build a wall" talk to an immigration thread. Yes we should have walls in place but even with them, people would be able to come and go. They would just do it legally.

 

Wall or no wall and as stupid as Moore appears to be, he'd have to be a whole other level of stupid to move to Canada.

A left wingnut like him belongs there. He'd fit right in. Fat slob is going to need the paid healthcare there anyway big time. They can pay for his imminent diabetes condition and the inevitable artery/heart problems. Let the Canadian government cover the load instead of Obamacare

Dude, the guy is dumb but not Canadian level dumb. He would never go there. Plus, he dresses too well to be Canadian.

Michael Moore is Evil. Maybe Cuba or Venezuala is more his style. I'll pay for a one way ticket..Coach of course because that's how the people travel but somehow I doubt he'd go for that.

 

Mikey Moore's not evil, silly! Since The One was elected, all is in harmony and balance in the world (except the US checkbook), and evil no longer exists. It's that hope and change thingy we voted for. :censored:

Ummm I didn't vote for "it". But you are right...I see dancing unicorns and fairies taking my pot o' gold to the white castle on the mountain! All is happy in the world! :censored:

In basic terms Greed is EVIL.

 

Capitalism is ONLY evil when men do bad things.

 

Bernie Madoff anyone?

This can happen in any system. Question is, how much of the population benifits(comfortable lifestyle/middle class) because of Capitalism?

I can't say I'm shocked that Moore would decry the very thing that has made our country great, as evil.... but I'll be extremely worried if this film gains the cult following that BFC and FH 911 got.

No one pays attention to him anymore with the possible exception of Howard Stern and Barney Frank's gerbil. At one point he had the opportunity to be thought provoking.

 

What's the difference between the Goodyear Blimp and Michael Moore?

 

One's a gas filled windbag and the other one's a dirigible.

Thats where you are wrong. Capitalism DID NOT make our country great- great leaders and great people did People like Washington and Lincoln. A system does not make one great. Neither capitalism nor socialism are evil- but they both are bound to fail when people in position power exploit the weaknesses in them.

 

People are inherently evil and weak by nature. Systems are what they are- neutral

That's called the Fuehrerprinzip.
