Where did Moore study economics? I tried to find information about his education but I'm not having any luck.

And... how long will it take Michael Moore to give up all of his capitalist gains?

I've seen this guys stuff before. He takes the most extreme example he can find and then blankets all of American as the same. Some things shown can be true but for special effect sakes he magnifies, even fudges the truth to please his target audiences. Not arguement he's a hypocritical fat blubberous PIG!

I cannot, for the life of me understand the attacks from the right on MM. The message of the movie is straight out of the republican playbook. IE: The bailouts were wrong and throwing good money after bad. So the real issue here is the unbridled hate for the man and not his message.

Well get a clue, people. Michael Moore is an entertainer. He's no different that Rush Limbaugh. They are both in the entertainment business. One measures success by how many movie tickets he sells and the other by how many rating points he garners. Sheesh!

By the way, my review of MM's new movie is: "I laughed, I cried, I kissed my 15 bucks goodbye."

Awesome, get the people that have fallen on hard times into a theater to preach how bad the economic system is.

Hell, the next documentary he makes should be called "How to start a cult - Preying on people" and he can have free screenings for that show too where all of his members come in and drink the kool-aid

You seem to be missing the point - bailouts aren't capitalism. Capitalists didn't want the bailouts. Those who stood to gain from the bailouts wanted them. Who do you think that was?

It's good marketing. It will get a buzz going about the movie and earn him more support. I'll be more impressed with his sincerity if he caps his earnings at 100k and gives the rest to the government.

Nah, he goes for the heavy-hitters....
