So I just watched Capitalism: A Love Story. It was really good. I was thinking that I wouldn't agree with him as much as I did. Although the documentary may be biased it does pose great questions. What I liked most about the film was that Micheal Moore brings to light that capitalism has flaws. I have believed that for many years. I am tired of people talking as if is a perfect system. History proves that it is not perfect and needs regulating. I get so frustrated when people quickly dismiss me as a socialist or communist because I want to fix the flaws in our economy. We need protection from the rich. Our governments job is to protect us from tyrannical rule, including the cooperate America.
Any way during the documentary I went through many emotions. The best emotion I experienced was joy. I got to re-live Obama winning the election. That was one of the best days of my life. I'm so glad that he is my President and hope one day he will get the respect he deserves. I know that many people do not agree with my political views, but I think that we can agree on a few things. We want everyone to have the ability to pursue happiness.
Yo. I think one big problem is corporatism, where large companies with lots of government connections get special favors. Some people see the companies as the problem, but only the government can force people to do things. Also, our banking system prevents the financial sector from bearing the cost of poor decisions, which is really needed to reign in abuse. I'm writing a little book (for my own purposes, not to publish or anything) where I'll write about these sorts of things. I'd love to have your perspective. I'll send it to you when it's semi-done.
