In the meantime Stock Shock-The Movie”Stock Shock” follows several Sirius XM investors through their experience of watching their stock go from almost ten dollars a share—down to 5 cents/share. The movie suggests this might be due to flash trading, greedy hedge funds, “naked short selling” and other market manipulation by high rollers on Wall Street. I don't know if I'm a believer, but at least it gives a good review of how our stock markets are engineered.

This movie is also about Wall Street Law Changes that cripples this country financially due to Greed and coruption.

Richard Keane, narrator Stock Shock

The current American economic system cannot be likened to anything like pure capitalism. It's a hodge-podge of New Deal welfare statism and Republican-sanctioned corporatism. Capitalism in its pure laissez fair form is all about property rights and individual liberty. Wherever you see (to whatever degree) that form of socio-political organization, you find (to the same degree) a just and prosperous society. It's NOT PERFECT. Just like democracy isn't perfect; but it's fair and the best that our imperfect species has been able to devise.

Roger and Me is now a twenty year old movie. You can go and watch anytime you want, it has help up very nicely. It may not be first class art but it is art. What will Ann Coulter leave behind other than nasty vicious screeds?

And there will always be a market for this kinda stuff, after all attack of the killer tomatoes can be found in the local video store as well, Coulter leaves over 3 million books on the bookshelves of America. Place them alongside the Micheal Moore videos and Attack of the Killer tomatos.

Capitalism is not necessarily a bad thing; However, Capitalism with no restraints is evil and fatally cannibalistic.

Regulation is the answer, but not regulation guided by the “capitalism is evil” principle. Capitalism is not only good, it's the engine of our prosperity, and regulation should be geared to yield as much of it as possible.

In the case of Wall Street, the regulatory failure was not in having banks or in allowing them to pay big bonuses, it was in allowing them to become too big (or more properly, too few) to fail. This was a major government failure, which left the whole air supply of the economy going through a few big firms. When they got in trouble we couldn't do what we should have: let them take their companies, their shareholders, and their hopes for fat bonuses off to bankruptcy court.

Moore stands up for what he believes in the same way Ann Coulter does, I can do without either. I defend their right to engage in their partisan propaganda, but I still think both are laughingstocks from the fringe.

If yMoore wants to criticize the giving of taxpayer dollars to Wall Street corporations and banks, then I'm with him. But doing so under the guise of attacking capitalism means that Moore is either A) patently dishonest, or B) unaware of what capitalism truly means.

Please make a list of places and times during which the government has not given Corporations, Banks and Wealthy People money and privileges.

Please define “Capitalism” and then make a list of places that practice or have practiced “Capitalism” as you define it in the last half millennium.

And why so many people are advocating naive solutions based on the simplistic demonizations he served up.

We're clearly in for more of the same with Capitalism. Government takes taxpayers' money on a promise to spend it sensibly. Corporations come lobbying their own interests. Government hands taxpayers' money over to them. The 10-trillion dollar organization with sovereign power, armies, and prisons is the victim, you see. Its failures to the public interest must be blamed on much smaller groups that weren't entrusted with it to begin with.

Mr. Moore's narratives are themselves unhelpful to the public interest.
