From the interview by Piers Morgan:
Morgan asked Moore about his opposition to capitalism, especially given Moore's financial success as a filmmaker. When asked if his movie-making amounted to a capitalist endeavor, Moore replied "Is it really?" He then noted that "the only reason I do well is because people want to see my movies," before indicting the modern financial system as a corruption of capitalism, a "shell game."
Really? Really??As Moore concluded his remarks on capitalism, he said that "it's not American." Additionally, he said "it's not Christian or Jewish," after citing 46 million poor people that Moore believes the capitalist economic system neglects. "None of the major religions, in fact they all," Moore said, "say it's one of the worst sins you could commit, is to take such a large piece of the pie while others suffer."
If Michael Moore hates Capitalism so badly, then why is he selling his book? Shouldn't he be so worried about the poor and downtrodden that he would give his book away for free? And how come the little people who are struggling have to pay to see his movies? Shouldn't they be free, too? To be fair, he could offer these things for a free-will offering - that would be a rather Christian approach.
Obviously, he doesn't believe that about Capitalism. But he does believe you are so stupid as to listen to him spout nonsense and believe it. And so do the majority of loony lefty crazies in Hollywood. Matt Damon, Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin, Barbra Streisand, and all of their ilk essentially call you stupid and yet we continue to watch their movies, buy their music, and pay for cable TV. Are you insulted yet?
