Capitalism; Destroying the American Dream

If you haven't seen Michael Moore's new flick: "Capitalism: A Love Story" then I highly recommend that you GO SEE IT!!!

Believe it or not, the economy dominates your life. Americans have grown to trust and love a system that robs 'the people' of equal opportunities to be 'wealthy.' That system is called capitalism. What is capitalism?

Capitalism is an economic system where the means of production are privately owned by individuals rather than by the government. Sound good right...NOT.....In a capitalist society, you have a free market and companies live by the profit motive. They exist only to make money.

Where does that leave you as the consumer? In the hands of the greedy. We work for them, we buy from them and what do we get in return? Nothing. Many of us are left dreaming, hoping to one day enjoy a piece of the pie. Fooled into believing that WE control our destiny to fame and fortune....well here's a rude awaking people.... you are more likely to fall into to sad abyss of poverty than you are to EVER become rich. Check out the movie and find out how companies are robbing us BLIND.
