Moore, Greed and a Genius

Michale Moore thinks he's touched on a new subject. His newest "movie", a take on "America's funniest home videos" and "Jackass" really hasn't departed much since "Roger and Me" debuted sometime in the 80's. I had to watch that film in High School English class. What it had to do with English I have no idea... but it's never too early to start liberal indoctrination.

So Michael Moore is on Jay Leno's program talking about the evils of capitalism. I guess he walked to the studio.

I don't know how much money Mr. Moore has made off of his films. Or how much he has spent to produce them. Or promote them. I guess the cameramen and crew all show up for free, unvetted (is that a word?) without need of resume, experience or skill. Mr. Moore must choose his editors, both video and sound, based on benevolence, generosity and zodiac signs.

See- the problem for Mr. Moore is that 1% of Americans have more wealth than 95% of the rest of America. And somehow that is...is what? wrong? unfair? unjust?

Yeah- I wish I were in that 1%. But so long as that 1% didn't steal it from me, didn't build their wealth on my back, didn't oppress me into poverty... what complaint do I have? Those 1%, odds are, provide a service, produce something better than anyone else. And I want it. Be it Berkshire-Hathaway shares, a Dell, a night at the Waldorf Astoria or an Ipod.

Mr. Moore contends that capitalism is "legalized greed". Greed does not give back. Capitalism does. It gives a product, a service, a good- something. How is this unfair or bad I don't know. Mr. Moore certainly makes left-wing documentaries better than anyone else... should he stop? Or maybe just start distributing his own wealth.

How Michael Moore uses the tools of capitalism to then bash capitalism is a little naive. And insulting. He should watch this video and learn:
