Michael Moore has premiered his new documentary Capitalism: A Love Story at the Toronto Film Festival. The film deals with the crisis on Wall Street and its devastating effect on the lives of ordinary people. At a press conference in Toronto, Moore questioned why the the US government decided to bail out AIG and General Motors, but not Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns.
Michael Moore: “I guess Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers weren’t making their proper contributions. You know, this kind of like the Mob, isn’t it? Those who make the proper payments to the head don, they get to live, and the others don’t. It’s such an unfair system all around. We need a democratic economy. We don’t have it, and I’m going to keep advocating for it.”
