Here is the plot description for “Capitalism: A Love Story”:

On the 20-year anniversary of his groundbreaking masterpiece “Roger & Me,” Michael Moore’s “Capitalism: A Love Story” comes home to the issue he has been examining throughout his career: the disastrous impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans (and, by default, the rest of the world).

But this time, the culprit is much bigger than General Motors and the crime scene far wider than Flint, Mich. From Middle America to the halls of power in Washington to the global financial epicenter in Manhattan, Michael Moore will once again take filmgoers into uncharted territory.

With both humor and outrage, Michael Moore’s “Capitalism: A Love Story” explores a taboo question: What is the price that America pays for its love of capitalism? Years ago, that love seemed so innocent. Today, however, the American dream is looking more like a nightmare as families pay the price with their jobs, homes and savings.

Moore takes us into the homes of ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside down. He goes looking for explanations in Washington, D.C. and elsewhere. What he finds are the all-too-familiar symptoms of a love affair gone astray: lies, abuse, betrayal… and 14,000 jobs being lost every day.

“Capitalism: A Love Story” is both a culmination of Moore’s previous works and a look into what a more hopeful future could look like. It is Michael Moore’s ultimate quest to answer the question he has posed throughout his illustrious filmmaking career: Who are we and why do we behave the way we do?

Capitalism

The line is becoming blurred. The government is trying to control everything. It probably wouldn’t be a bad thing if they kept the majority in mind, but the greedy won’t change.

My view on capitalism….it is the reason we have such a widening gap between rich and poor in this country. It is a great concept if you are one of the haves, yet the have nots are the ones who sufferr

I think capitalism is a great system but it’s getting to old and we need more innovation to come up with a better system. Hopefully it will serve the U,.S. as well as capitalism has for so many years but we need a change

I feel it’s a little out of control… not that capitalism is ALL bad. But there’s a difference between that and greed. Greed benefits no one. Capitalism just makes us competitive, always striving to do bigger and better things.

Out of control. It needs to be contained and executive compensation has to be regulated.
