Capitalism is evil and you cannot regulate evil. You have to eliminate it and replace it with something that is good for all people and that something is democracy.
- Michael Moore in Capitalism: A Love Story.

Greedy Maderch*ds.

Yes, it’s the evil maderch*ds of corporate America and their pimps in Congress (both Republicans and Democrats) that have brought America to ruin.

Make no mistake, folks.

It’s the insatiable greed and unholy lust for money of scumbags like Shitty Bank CEO Vikram Pandit and his ilk that’s causing untold misery in the lives of tens of millions of everyday Americans.

Millions have lost their jobs. Millions have lost their life’s savings. Millions have had their lives upended.

All because the shameless greedy ch**ts like Vikram Pandit wanted more. Wanted more. Wanted more.

After all, there are so many idiots out there who still believe capitalism is an unalloyed virtue. Despite the fact that capitalism in America is not taking and giving but, as the film says, is mostly taking.

In a nostalgic trip down memory lane, Michael Moore takes us to his childhood years (his dad worked at a GM plant in Flint, Michigan that’s now reduced to rubble) when American families could lead comfortable lives on a single salary, had a stable job, send their children to college without the current burdensome loans, go on vacations and generally lead a good life.

The film shows how the corporations have corrupted Congress and even the judiciary in pursuit of their holy grail of higher and higher profits. Continue reading »
