I agree with Mr. Sanders. The suffering that a person or family may “suffer” is variable. It can range from “less nights out at the restaurant”, to “I have lost all my life savings and house”.

Picture this: those “less nights out that the restaurant”, perhaps a family spent $100. Imagine not going out but putting a $100 bill into the hands of the CEO of your bank or insurance company. That is what happended. They stuck their hands into your wallet and yanked out not only tens, or hundreds. They took thousands.

Maybe you can miss thousands and say “the system is fine”. Maybe you are one of the people that take those thousands. At the end, it your country and children that will suffer.

For quick gain that will be lost easily, we may stand by “political” views, but we pay with our humanity.

In other words: for money, we have become “sad humans”.

It is interesting to read the negative comments attacking this man personally (his weight)…….when a person can’t comment with intelligent replies, they will resort to base attacks of that ignorant nature.

The failure of the US economy is: Greed causes gains for few and losses for many. That is how a few gain increasing wealth, at the expense of the many more that are poor or middle class. Life can seem the same for middle class America that still have jobs…. thus the points that Mr. Moore make, may not seem that important. BUT…..what if you lost your job……

What is even worse, this creation of increased National Debt will undermine the US economy. Remember the Euro used to be equal to the USD. 1 Euro was 1 USD. Take a look at the exchange rate now. That means the country we leave for our children is weaker and poorer vs. the World.

That then is the point that Mr. Moore is making. For the greed of the few, many have suffered.

This fat fuck is alive and breathing fresh air that a human being could enjoy. This is a shame that a fat sub-human piece of shit like moore exists.

I think Michael Moore knows his shtick is getting old and that is why he’s quitting documentary film making.

I’ll see it. I’ll probably disagree with a lot of his methods. But one thing– isn’t his typical style getting a bit stale? It was most effective in “Bowling for Columbine”, but since then it’s been the same thing, over and over. Diminishing returns.

Sure he’s biased but his films are entertaining and very interesting if you go into the movie knowing that. He knows he’s one sided and he tells you that in every preview of his films. however, the funny thing is he is a democrat, or at least pretends to be, and in this film he is actually taking a democratic run government to task.

I salute the man for the sheer balls he has to challenge the government film after film. I’ll be watching this one.

I liked Roger and Me and TV Nation but I felt his movies became increasingly gimmicky and heavy handed.

I disagree with his politics and the overall arguments he makes but I don’t think he labels his films as serious documentaries and himself as an objective journalist. I think he at the least brings issues to the forefront for discussion where those confident in the merits of their beliefs should not fear to be.

He’s covered Guns, Iraq, Healthcare, Outsourcing and now Capitalism itself, all great issues to explore, even if when you take the opposite position he does. Some will attack this film relentlessly without seeing it, I am very confident in the merits of capitalism so it pains me not to at least see what he has to say.

There are actually three or four documentaries in the making about the crash.

Omar, you should do a documentary on the booming tourist industry in Iceland, caused by the fact that your cash is worth nothing. I remember hardcore advertising basically praising Iceland as the cheapest place on earth!

there is seriously nothing new to say until the actual movie comes out, and even then a lot of the new discussion will revolve around the same tired points from both sides.
