The Top Ten Things That Capitalism Has Done For Michael Moore

Michael Moore proclaims "Capitalism did nothing for me."

You're wrong, Michael. Dead wrong. Capitalism has done plenty for you, sport.

1. American Capitalism made your 7,500 calorie per day diet cheaper (and tastier) here than anywhere else in the world.
2. That shirt you're wearing. Polo, by Ralph Lauren. $80 in size XXXL, available at Big and Tall Mens shops nationwide.
3. Horizontal stripes. A guy your size would be locked up in most socialist countries for that fashion faux pas. Probably executed in Italy, France or Sweden.
4. The world's best health care system, good for taking care of behavior-related chronic health care issues like cardio-vascular disease, type II diabetes, and gout.

8. Or worse, your next movie will be called Jimmy Hoffa and Me.
9. A cushy apartment in Manhattan, the Bolshevik paradise.
10. Most of all, you should be thankful that capitalism has given you an affluent, liberal, self-loathing audience which eagerly laps up your tripe.

There's so many different types of taxes already. Do you understand a value added tax? I'll try and splain it in my most simplest way. Let's just say I manufactured widgets. With the federal value added tax here's how it would work. I would buy some screws and get taxed by the supplier for their purchase, then some wood and get taxed for that purchase, Then some stain and be taxed by the supplier again. his goes on and on for all the materials. Each and every part that goes into my widget. This will substantially increase the cost of my product to the consumer. What??? Did you think I was going to absorb all that additional expense? Hell no, I'm going to pass it on to you, the poor assed people who voted for Obamama for the CHANGE
