Mike tells press at a press conference in Bellaire, Michigan about CIGNA VP turned whistleblower Wendell Potter before a special premiere of ‘Capitalism: A Love Story’ on Saturday, September 19th, 2009. Blowing whistles for a living at www.michaelmoore.com
insurance company’s are the greatest evil of our day. now i pay 6 times more then i did 20 years ago. 6 times more !! and that is just one insurance. i canceled all my insurances and now i only have health. i refuse to get leeched on by these big company’s. to whom you pay all your life and in the end ,if you are lucky you may get 10 percent of what you put in. and it’s in every county !! why are we putting up with this ?? now more then ever.
Micheal Moore just like Glen Beck is a shill to keep you in the fake left / right paradigm, listening to him is a waste of time, join the real INFOWAR today! watch “Fall of the Republic” now
fuck insurance companys,my wife needed a fucking wheel chair and was denied,a fucking wheel chair,i could of bought 1000 of them for what i payed in,before its over with,i will hunt down as many of those fuckers as i can!
there were more whistle blowers before Wendell… and you can bet there are more people in a lot of these corrupt industries sitting in their offices as of right now just living with the fact that, they know they are screwing us, and they don’t care/cant care/don’t want to be bothered to care. And there are many other corrupt businessman/lobbyists/bureaucrats who are scared to even come out and expose their dirty laundry like Wendell was then. Its heart warming and sad at the same time.
a libertarian utopian?
pretty please, tell us the truth, oh master of truths and facts.
The only ugly person here is you.
Who Is John Galt?
This ugly over weight slob is the reason health care is so high,he tells so many lies that he wouldn’t know the truth if it hit him in his ugly fat rear.
I think Ford’s welfare capitalism needs to be a central component of American life, because the US gov’t does not provide a strong enough safety net like Western Europe does. Further, Ford showed that treating employees better and paying them more can actually increase productivity and increase profit. Ford was a great thinker aside from his virulent antisemitism.
4) Capitalism is used to build EMPIRES. In America, We don’t like imperialism or imperial classes. We don’t bow to queens! What did the evil little Queen of Buckingham palace who gets hauled around in a golden carriage ever produce of real value to others in exchange for all her wealth? Did she really earn that wealth? What about Bernie Madoff ? We must return to the American System of economy! Google: LaRouche on the American Sysytem of economics
) But, what did he produce of real value to others in exchange for the profit he made? The shareholder does the same thing. The Capitalist is a parasite that feeds of the production of others without having to produce anything of real value himself. He is a drag in the economy & sucks money out of the economy like a tick attaches to a healthy horse. He gets a free lunch. A Capitalist is BAD for any economy. Capitalism is not the American system of economy.
2) Under the real American system of economy, real wealth is measured on ones ability to manufacture & produce something. But, the Capitalist has found a way to obtain money without having to produce or manufacture anything of real value to others. He just makes his money make more money. A privet banker does the same thing. He loans you $1000. You work & produce your ass off & pay him back $1,150. He profits $150 off your ability to produce.
1) Capitalism violates the purpose for money. There are products & services we need & desire & must have in order to survive well as a culture & Nation. We produce a verity of products & use money as the medium of exchange to obtain those different products. THAT IS THE ONLY PURPOSE FOR MONEY! It’s just paper! It has no other real value or purpose. If you want more money, you must be able to CREATE & MANUFACTURE something of real value to people.
Well, Ford wasn’t that great.
He hired black people when others wouldn’t only to put them in jobs where they would die faster.
He payed his employees more, only to force his compition to pay more too.
Not that he was all bad, but certainly no saint.
because ppl who seek money and power always want more money and power
Fair schmair, it’s all about the Benjamins.
I don’t understand why corporations can’t go back to the business practices of Henry Ford. He paid his employees very well and produced a good automobile that the masses could afford. He was a great business man and revolutionized the industrial age. The key part that made Ford a great company was making a great product and making it affordable for everyone. If only health insurance and the other industries could do the same.
This is such a heartwarming story
WE NEED A PUBLIC Option! The Baucus bill is crap!
We need to get more involved. In the commet section of my profile you will find several ways in which you can do just that including phone numbers, petitions and so much more. We can NOT let the lunatics run the asylum.
Wendell Potter is the man!!! He proves that mankind still has a heart and a care for other human beings.
IMO, Wendell Potter has become a national hero.
We need more moments like this, your the best MMflint!
I guess I’m one of the lucky few with volume control on my speakers.
If the big insurance companies can “collude” to smear a film, imagine what they’re doing with health care? That’s called an oligopoly and breaks our anti-trust laws. And now our president wants everyone to prop up this industry… very interesting.
