    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    I agree, although King said he was going to have them back on again soon and spend a lot more time on the topic. Moore said he looked forward to it and from what I remember, Gupta didn't have much to say about coming back.

    Perhaps the most clarifying interview so far.

    Moore is extremely aware of any subliminal nuance that CNN may toss at him
    to hint or lead towards a negative spin.

    I like when Wolf brings up the Iran association and Moore does his little war drum dance.

    He starts making a lot of sense right at the end

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    i agree; i won't pay for a layabout.
    secondly; america cannot limit a doctors earnings.
    thirdly; we have medicaid for the poor. so the working class is paying for the lazy.
    I get medicaid and medicare. I have never considered myself "lazy", nor has anyone who knows me.
    I am ill, not lazy!! I worked since age 15.
    I really hate when this is how those who are against social programs sum it up. There are people within any society who need help, who cannot take care of themselves. To be a society means we are our brothers keeper.
    If anyone doesn't like it they are free to remove themself from society.
    It's kind of like a club we sign up for. EVERYONE in a society benefits from being within it. It sounds like some just don't like paying club dues.

    No one is free to stop paying taxes. If they were, they wouldn't pay and then medicaid and medicare would be finished.
    All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

    Not quite. Ther are ways to be out of society, including not paying taxes. The ways may seem extreme, or a bad quality of life, or take some skill, but it is a choice we all make and most of us choose to be in this club and pay club dues.
    We do so because we benefit from it.
    We could seclude ourselves in the mountains and live off the land, move to some island, and a few other things. We don't...cuz we like a house, a bed, grocery stores, and the such.

    i too am ill. my meds exceed $3000 usd per month. but we're not talking about the ill. if you are ill and cannot afford treatment we have medicare and medicaid. the discussion is about healthcare. healthcare for those who don't want to work. but why stop there? why shouldn't the government provide everyone with a place to live? and what about food for those who can't afford it? maybe these layabouts need a car so they can get a job? if so; the government should hand out cars to those who can't afford them.
    those who don't like paying the club dues are the ones with their hands out wanting everything free.

    Yeah, I guess your right, I'm sooo jealous that you "paid" so much in taxes...

    by the way, I thought the government didn't know about you...

    i see you listen to idoits. in case you're interested; someone stole my identity and i transfered everything to my daughter while my attorneys proved it wasn't me. because i did not draw income; i was not required to pay taxes. however; my daughter paid the taxes due. that situation was resolved at least a year ago. the person who stole my identity was dead and burried in poland.
    it's hard to get away from inheritance taxes.
