Entry #5 Capitalism

While watching the video on capitalism I had learned a lot about the viewpoints of CEO's and the major players of the stock market. While listening to Moore talk about capitalism and democracy, I was astounded with the way that the top 1% are trying to run this country. When Moore was talking about the life insurance policies that top corporations pull out on their workers, he had interviewed the spouses of the workers that had died. While talking to them they had all been upset and destroyed at the way that a company can just do that and not care about anything but themselves. What about when he had talked to Fathers and Bishops of a church. He had talked to a Father and was surprised about their viewpoint on capitalism, so he decided to go talk to a bishop. He was then met by the same exact viewpoint and how churches think that capitalism is the evil that the bible describes. While watching Moore try and talk to individuals walking out of the New York Stock Exchange they were all ignoring him and telling him to not make an more movies because of the way that he is trying to expose the corrupt parts of this Country. While watching this film I had learned a lot about how America is run and how it used to be so much better and had not revolved around making money and using society for their own personal benefit. Companies should not be able to use their workers to be able to make money that they do not need and the rest of America should be able to live the lives that they want to live and not have to worry about what is going to happen to them.
