John Stossel will soon have his own show on Fox, he takes a look at M Moore's movie on Capitalism.
Ironically Moore got started with a $160,000 home grown film entitled Roger and Me. He attempted to interview then GM CEO Roger Smith about the closed factories in Michigan. That was in the 1980s, things are not better now in Michigan. Is there a pattern here? This is yet another echo of my comments about the New Civil War. I suspect that Mr. Moore really liked the 1960s when with over 50% of the US market, GM and the other Big Two could indulge the Union fantasies that they could earn above market wages for rather average labor. The arrival of other manufacturers in the Right to Work States made this a hopeless business model, something Michigan has yet to grasp.
