An interesting and fairly detailed review by Cenk & Kim that's well worth watching in its entirity. It starts with a clip from the movie and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4F5usJtEPw">Kim's review which lasts for just under 5 mins. Then he and Cenk further discuss what the movie covers & its implications.

From the info. section of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4F5usJtEPw">Kim's review on YouTube...

Michael Moore's new film, CAPITALISM: A LOVE STORY, is as bold, brave, controversial and ambitious as anything he's ever done. In many ways, it's like ROGER AND ME, BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE, FAHRENHEIT 9/11, and SICKO rolled into one, drawing on those films' strengths so Moore can tackle the biggest villain he, and we as a nation, have ever faced: the rampant capitalist for-profit system, whose ideology and values have somehow become synonymous with the American identity. By attacking this system and exposing the suffering it brings to working people, Moore has not only made his most important film to date, but he's also made perhaps the most subversive movie I've ever seen.

1. WOW, Dead Peasants Insurance!

Be sure to watch the video at the 13 minute mark where they talk about 'Dead Peasants Insurance'.
Does your company have a policy on YOU?

THIS SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW!

2. Dead Peasants Insurance Policies!
This is just crazy and should be against the law.

Apparently in Michael Moores' new film he covers something called 'Dead Peasant Insurance Policies'.

Companies can legally take out insurance on their employees (after one year) and if they die they give ZERO of the money to the person's family.

This means that they profit if you die and you are worth more to them dead than alive.

A whopping 25% of all life insurance policies in the USA are Dead Peasant Policies.

Companies that do this include WalMart, Walt Disney, Dow Chemical, Procter & Gamble, Winn Dixie, and other Blue Chip Companies...

In the video above (and link below) the discussion of DEAD PEASANT's INSURANCE starts at the 13 minute mark:

Please help spread the word!
