The point is that, contrary to popular belief, capitalism is a matter of choice while democracy isn’t and not t he other way round(democracy is matter of choice only formally, in fact, each and every demoratically elected government is nothing but an elected tyrany not much different to unelected tyranies). Moore is a commie and in his second thoughts he promotes the fascist left. If you don’t know what that is, go figure.

If in fact 85% 0f the wealth is held by 15% of the population as of 2004, (http://sociology.ucsc.edu/whorulesamerica/power/wealth.html) how can you and your compatriots hahahahaha without drooling on your starched, cuff linked, monogrammed shirts? You like so many of your ilk are beginning to leave a trail.

Capitalism in itself is not Evil.

Fiat Money is Evil.

Regulating capital to let a Cabal of Bankers run the banks and create fiat money is Evil. (The Federal Reserve)

I suggest everyone read The Creature from Jekyl Island just to get an idea how the banking system works and how “Bankers” have been stealing people’s wealth through the creation of Fiat money as a hidden tax. (And how the politicians are bought and the Constitution ignored!)

The only problem I see with your argument, dear Mogambo, is that a real free-market capitalism as you wish never existed, and most likely never will. We always got a state (or a sort of) meddling in it, and taking a share as it wish, and always growing.
So IMHO, you should get consequent and advocate for anarchism too, like I do (even owning gold does not protect you from evil Gov’ts, as Roosevelt proved).

I would tax political pundits at 90 % according to capitalism this would discourage them from continuing their trade. As they produce nothing but discontent and lies anyway.I say good riddance Bill o, Rush ,and Michael . I will get my info from the net like most thinking people.

Michael Moore’s quote-
“Capitalism is an 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.”

The quote you would hear from the abolitionists back in the early 1900′s-

“Alcohol is an 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 prohibition.”

And we all know how well THAT worked out, don’t we?

I wonder if Michael Moore would be willing to give up all of his capitalistic wealth for the good of the people, or would he view the idea as evil?

Of course Capitalism is evil – that’s how Michael Moore got money to make his last two films.
