Welfare, United, We?

I did learn the capitalism from the slums in the south and the luxury villa in the north during the two years in Chicago, but not really as from this movie. Oh, no, I would say this is not the very point of this movie, the key is LOVE, to the nation and to the people.

I can see some politicians in China will actually laugh so loudly when they watch the movie: for the failure that States is facing; I can hear they will anounce so proudly:"We don't have the trouble coz we have control, on the economy, and ...most important, on the people." Well, I can feel my deep sadness on it, not for States, but for Chinese, the nation.

Pondering on the capitalism that symbolizes States' success for decades while transfers most of the cost of economy crises on the poor and middle class people, Moore actually go to the Constitution: no "capitalism" on it, and he just found "Welfare", "United", "We"..He's frowning---Wow, we Chinese people are better, we found Socialism!

Moore spells out: "Capitalism is successful all these years,...although only 1% of population are really rich , as long as the left 99% of people believe they can become one of them if they try hard and jump highly enough...but now, it turns out to be a lie.."--Wait, do our 57% peasants are ever given such dream, or lie? I doubt most of their dreams is becoming a Urban Resident? See, how easily our people can be satisfied! Oh,Yeah!?

Moore makes a lot of fun on the presidents, a lot of on the FED's chairs, a lot of on Wall street elites.....WOW, your American people are so funny, Look at us, We, Chinese people sing songs for our presidents every year, we acknowledge their contribution all year around, and all the words from the chair of the People's Bank of China are respected as investment Bible! How appreciate people we are!

American people are more Anti-Rich today, Gee.. .., is that naive? We Chinese won't do that, we don't anti-rich, actually, we Anti-Poor. If I were a director, the very movie I want to make is : Anti- Socialism: a survival story. Well, no, I cannot make it, not even one of our directors can, it is not that we are not able to, but cannot...

A system in trouble is not terrible, at least, there is a Michael Moore coming out with reflection on the failure, there is a hope coz the people are not ill. A terrible system is the one that can stifle thinkers like Michael Moore.

States is in trap, but won't always be, coz they can have Michael Moore.
