Capitalism: A Love Story

Michael Moore's documentary Capitalism: A Love Story showed the harsh reality of what is happening to our economy throughout our country. Capitalism was defined as a system of taking and giving, but mostly taking. There was harsh video footage showing families being evicted from their homes. It also showed how at 300 people at a company in Detroit lost their jobs because Bank of America stopped giving the company credit. The people were only given a three days notice and then were without jobs. Michael Moore does make some good points but at the same time some of them are a bit out there. I do like how he would add humor to his arguments by making sarcastic comments and by going to the banks and trying to fill up bags full of money to give back to tax payers. The video overall shows that capitalism effects the U.S. negatively especially the working class.
