I have seen it, Michael Moore is a fucking retard. This is NOT an example of capitalism, under that system currency is not taxpayer backed and they cannot just keep printing more and more to prop up their corporate buddies. This is corporatism. Michael more failed to make the distinction too, not surprising seeing he's one of the most biased activist ass-hats on earth.
Quote:Although the government is far from blameless in this event, the financial institutions have a far greater share of the blame. This goes into everything I've been attempting to say in my discussions with you, void, but don't put this all on the government.
Don't put the blame on the organization who appointed and authorized these assholes to print as much money as they fucking like to prop up their corporate buddies? What the fuck are you thinking? This goes absolutely against what you have been saying, giving these fucking cunts power over the economy and currency.
If I steal someone's money to give to you are you to blame? No. So why when governments steal taxpayer money to lend out to financial institutions is it their fault? It's a complete double standard.
Quote:You should know as much as I that blaming the government for this travesty is like suing McDonalds for making (John Doe) obese. It might technically be true that McDonalds may be serving (John Doe) unhealthy food that's way too high in fats and calories, but (John Doe) did choose to eat at McDonalds 4 meals a day for (X time) with little to no exercise.
Oh, you still think the Fed is independent. No "central bank" is independent, anywhere. It's all a fucking sham.
And shouldn't we be regulating McDonals? after all you are for regulating every other similar scenario. What if John has a food addiction? Is he not a McSlave being exploited by the evil corporates?
