It took 17 years to see the truth of Michael Moores arguments regarding General Motors. How long will it take for 'sicko'? He fights for what he believes and believes in what he fights for. A blue collar guy who just wants to expose the truth behind lies. Isn't that what we all wish we could be?

Are you trying to sound like Ellsworth Toohey? Because that was a frightening imitation.

Beg pardon for the OT but it just jumped out at me.

Never heard of him, but I'll google him.

I think Michael Moore is right on everything he stated and I keep seeing everybody throw up the taxes being raised. Well you know what, do we even know where our tax money is going now?

Damn, i really need to see those Micheal Moore movies.

Yes, i think he is a role model. As i heard, his movies might often use the emotional side, but so does everyone else. He is fighting fire with fire. Of course, nothing wrong with doing your own thing in life, keeping government and corporations in check being a thing done aside.(infact it is needed) But it must be an activity that is also done, because those who are more vigor about politic 'n stuff need support.(If not lunatics of course.)

I agree, and would like to add another point.

I work as a private consultant, so I must provide my own health care. Because I am young and in good health, this costs me $70 a month. That's $840 a year. Other than the fact that it is not imposed upon me by the government, how is that not a tax? I would consider health care a needed expense by most people. Like housing or food.

Those of us who do have health care already pay for it, one way or another. Oh, and if we stopped spending $12B a month in Iraq, maybe, just maybe we might be able to fund some kind of nation health care. I of course do not advocate cutting needed funds by the military, maybe just giving Haliburton or Lockheed Martin a little less dough.

Michael Moore is right in this little debate. Gupta is totally saving face the whole time--his contentions were totally petty.
