Typical Michael Moore film. Uses extreme examples to attempt to evoke tears and put your brain in neutral.
Fails to acknowledge that business owners take risks to create their companies, which makes it acceptable for them to take whatever remuneration that they want.
Moore was very strongly against the bailout of GM, taking the perspective that companies ought to live and die based on something called the free market - the hallmark of capitalism. Of course, he goes shooting fish in a barrel by questioning why the over $700 billion bailout of the financial industry had no strings attached and no requirement to account for how the money was spent.
The sense I have from all this fallout in the US is that you can't extricate corruption from government, especially when it takes the form of high-level greed in the form of deregulation that benefits corporations at the expense of the average person.
Also interesting to see the private sector executives who end up as top-level government leaders, in spite of their incompetence but because they are inherently corrupt. He skewers both Bush, Clinton and Obama hired help.
I would really, really like to see someone come out with their own documentaries that contradict Michael Moore. He quietly gets away with much non-sense as he's showing something that is supposed to tug at your heart strings.
