It is laughable that Michael Moore would have the audacity to launch an attack on capitalism in the form of a wide-release studio film, particularly when he is also serving as the film's producer.
Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, the premise of Moore's latest "documentary," Capitalism: A Love Story, is that "You have to eliminate [Capitalism] and replace it with something that is good for all people and that something is democracy." According to the film, which I'm sure will be fair and balanced, capitalism only benefits the wealthy and "condemns millions to poverty." This would be laughable, too, if it weren't so dangerous. (Watch a trailer for the film after the break.)
