Michael Moore preparing to turn sights on Wall St

Updated 2 hours ago

Oscar-winning director Michael Moore vowed Thursday to turn his sights on the Wall Street chieftains blamed for the global economic meltdown in a new documentary to be released later this year. Moore, whose past targets have included President George W. Bush, the US healthcare system and the gun lobby, said his as yet untitled film would be released on October 2.

“The wealthy, at some point, decided they didn’t have enough wealth. They wanted more — a lot more — so they systematically set about to fleece the American people out of their hard-earned money,” Moore said.

“Now, why would they do this? That is what I seek to discover in this movie.”

The film’s distributors Overture Films and Paramount Vantage said the movie would take “a comical look at the corporate and political shenanigans” that culminated in last year’s multi-billion-dollar Wall Street bailout.

I hope he knows what he's doing. I know I certainly appreciate his work.

2. I hope he can film the parties these guys throw for themselves on the company dime

or has footage. Nothing pisses of the average American more than seeing the parties.

[Lorien]

9. Oh, I'm sure plenty of disgruntled former employees

have been slipping him material.

3. Can't wait to see it

I've never seen a M.M doc that I didn't like.

4. Although MM is courageous,he is not going far enough.......

....there are "entities" out there who want to see the end of the "american experiment". It's a long, long, old, old story/history.

THAT is more towards the radical "root" of the issue.

[snot]

7. hold it, he has to ask WHY? It's the how that matters; so we can STOP them,

at least until we forget again.

[Norrin Radd]

12. "Why" is good, as well, though. As their minions constantly tout

their patriotism, and slander us. That bubble needs to be burst.

[applegrove]

8. I look forward to it. MM is brilliant.

[defendandprotect]

I don't know how Mike will fit it all in, but he's sure educating America!!!

Why? Transferring money/power from the many to the fewest . . .

A ridiculous "King-of-the-Hill" system . . .

[xchrom]

15. The "why" is obvious. I want to know what, realistically, we can do to fix it or prevent it.

[livefreest]

17. this documentary should awesome as always. he should begin by looking at why there were

lords and serfs, why at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century so many industry magnate wanted to hold their workers down. i bet there are similar reasons here

[donco6]
