Capital Idea

Super-rich Michael Moore is claiming capitalism has done nothing for him.

You know, I had to pretty much beg, borrow and steal. The system is not set up to help somebody from the working class make a movie like this and get the truth out there.

In fact, in Fahrenheit 9/11 if you remember, capitalism, the Disney Corporation, tried to kill that film--tried to make it so that people couldn’t see it. My book Stupid White Men--Harper Collins tried to kill that book so that people couldn’t see it. It's only because I put the light of day on it and told people what was going on did people get the chance to see these things.

No wonder this guy's work is so clueless. He doesn't even know what capitalism is. He seems to have confused it with the whims of large corporations.

The free market means you can do what you want with your time, money and talent, not that everyone else is required to help you. Many of the greatest success stories in capitalism are people who had to fight every step of the way.

Heck, the way he describes himself, Moore could be the hero in an Ayn Rand novel.
