Ah, Michael Moore...I had really hoped when Obama got elected, his appetite would finally be sated and we could go a few years without hearing from him. But he's back, with a new film that strikes at the economic system that's been the engine of this country for roughly 230+ years.

Here's the quote that gets me...

“...an economic system that is unfair, it’s unjust and it’s not democratic. And now we’ve learned it doesn’t work.”

Well, gee, when the left seems to be gumming up the gears, taking hammers to the engines, and spending hard-earned tax money (earned by capitalism, I’d like to point out) like cokeheads in Colombia...yeah, it’s easy to see that the system currently isn’t working. If you left the system alone and fixed it by not doing anything, then you’d see it running along with a Ferrari again.

Capitalism didn’t fail. Greed won. Yes, bankers and corporate CEO’s fleeced their companies and walked off with a bunch of money. Because they got greedy. There is a difference between “I work hard for my money and I’m going to do all I can to keep it” and “I worked hard for money and now I’m going to illegally make a whole bunch more!” The people who bankrupted companies and broke laws probably don’t equate to 1% of 1% of the American workforce, but what they are...are targets, plain and simple.

It’s like having a squad of soldiers willingly invade Mexico on a land grab, get stopped, and wanting to disband the entire United States Armed Forces as a result.

People got greedy. That doesn’t mean the system didn’t break. I mean, the Communist rulers of the Soviet Union made a good chunk of change while their country starved too, but I don’t hear anyone on the left saying THAT system is broke.
