The movie was very inciteful and funny by the way that Michael Moore reveals the insidious role that Capitalism has played in America. The movie brought a question to my mind which is “What is the price that America pays for its love of capitalism?” it seems to me as though that a plethora of Americans dreams are looking more and more like nightmares as families all over America pay the price with their jobs ‚ their homes and any life savings.
