Capitalism a Love Story

First off let me say $9.50 a piece for a movie!!! I know I don’t get out a lot but when the hell did that happen???? Maybe that is why there were only about a dozen people there last night.

There are interesting parts but overall I was underwhelmed. The movie is great for people who don’t follow economic news. It gives a good overview of all that is unholy and wrong. I was already pretty much was aware of all this movie points out but, like I said, for people who don’t follow these issues it would be an eye opener.

I enjoyed the discussions with priests as to whether Jesus would be a capitalist. Obvious answer and one more people should ask themselves if they consider themselves Christian.
Any thinking person who has been paying attention the last 20 years would draw the same conclusion.

The bottom line is that you can’t trust those who are in charge of our economy to do what is right for this country and the regular people in it. The ideas they pushed have only hurt a lot a people and made a few rich. Does it make sense to borrow your home’s equity for anything other than improving the value of your home or a life threatening emergency? To put ALL your retirement monies in a stock market you can’t predict? To get a variable rate loan when you can’t control the interest rates? To assume that home values will always rise? Doing any of those things puts you at the mercy of forces beyond your control.

I saw it at the theater because I wanted to help Michael with the box office but really this is a rental.
