Now, *MICHAEL MOORE on Bill Maher, HBO, 'Where to Invade Next?' New Movie

Policies and programs that originated in the US like workers May Day (Chicago), public school and more were implemented in Europe. Better healthcare, prison systems, worker benefits in Europe. Mention of Bernie's emphasis on much of this. Flint water crisis. Bill, 'How do we stop Trump?'

this movie demonstrates just what we have lost in this country under starve the beast policies and a concerted effort to weaken unions.

The only point where the movie loses me a little is in regards to women as Presidents. This is a good thing and many leaders emerged after Iceland, but in that group there were a number of poor women leaders as well. I know this sounds bad, but I just wish that things like gender, religious belief and race were non issues and that anybody has a fair shot at leading.

We should judge EVERY candidate on their political philosophy, consistency and merit/intelligence to lead, not on their body parts, skin color or religious identification or lack thereof. If that were the case.....well. I will stop here.
