Capitalism: A Love Story Entry#Extra

The year in the year 1789 was the separation of the United States from Great Britain. The National Archives of Founding Documents proves that the Constitution was formed to shape the federal government. highlighting in order to form a more perfect union. US Constitution, one contrary to a more perfect union, is Michael Moore’s movie capitalism. It is a true reality that will slap even the most ignorant communities in the face. In order to provide an understanding first, compare the term capitalism to the intentions of the constitution. In the movie, more walks his viewers through our country’s Miss guidance into a nation that is run by corporate offices and money. This means that the corporate world is free enterprise to profit off their consumers in any way desired. Therefore, quality, the equality that is seen within a union is challenged by the concept of capital business.

 At first, capitalism is marketed as “free enterprise” with advertisement promising Americans the choice of where they want to work. Of course, Moore’s point of view exploits the marketers’ deception through contrasting what the policy says verses what it actually ends up doing. It’s undoubtable that capitalistic actions have been completely opposite to what was originally promise. As previously mentioned the industry was disguised as offering diverse options of employment to the city; However, the film describes otherwise while describing Ms. Andrew’s desperate job hunt every morning since being laid off (28:27). Therefore, the profiting industries heighten the cost of items, lower the material’s quality, terminated more than half of the available jobs, and overall bringing the economy into an unemployment crisis. Meanwhile, the wealthy class were provided tax cuts.

 Even worse, this sort of enterprise endangered work unions which results in no job security for Americans. The nation’s middle class slowly is began deteriorating as well. With that in mind, the outcome looks like the poor stay poor or lose what’s left while the rich stay rich or just get richer; Basically, most people will not have an opportunity to grow beyond being poor.

 Referring back to the simple online definition of capitalism, Miriam - Webster’s Learner’s Dictionary defines the practice as a way of organizing an economy so that things that are used to make and transport products (such as land, oil, factories, ships etc.) are owned by individual people and companies rather than by government ¹. An illustration of this can be seen in the mid beginning of Morris film as he observes President Ronald Reagan giving a public speech. During this Don Regan, corporate owner of Myrle Lynch and State Treasurer Chief Secretary of the State (Ronald Reagan’s presidency) informed the president of the United States that he needed to “speed it up” (19:02). As pointed out, since Don was richest man, his word was more powerful than the government and camouflaged itself by hiding control over government officials, like the president.
