Michael Moore has been out and about promoting his latest film, “Capitalism: A Love Story.” In it, Moore harangues capitalism and blames it for all of America’s ills.
Despite being a 55-year-old man, Moore has the same view of capitalism held by most teenagers.
You know the type. They have the “different” haircut and the “different” raiment’s so they can look like all the other kids trying to be different. If you have the pleasure to engage them on capitalism it goes something like this:
“Capitalism sucks dude. Money is evil. I’m a communist. Groucho Marx is the man.”
“Who bought you that iPhone?”
“My Mom.”
“Where does she work?”
“Union Carbide.”
“Uh-uh.”
That’s why it’s hard not to laugh at Moore and his premise especially when he goes on NBC to promote his movie. NBC is owned by General Electric, the world’s largest company.
Jeffrey Immelt probably had a good laugh over that one…
Continued tomorrow.
