I ask all Americans with a conscience to shun anything and everything to do with the murderous state of Georgia.
Nobody was talking about healthcare until ‘Sicko’ came out.
A newspaper is a public trust, and we will suffer as a society without them. It is not the Internet that has killed them. It is their own greed, it is their own stupidity, and it is capitalism that has taken our daily newspapers from us.
One of the basic tenets of the working class is you want to get out of the working class.
We all need to be huge supporters of the theatrical documentary.
The idea that cinema can be dangerous is a great idea.
A lot of people on Capitol Hill don’t want to talk to me.
The wealthy have never liked to pay for the labor that enriches them. Ever since slavery was eliminated, they have been trying to keep it as close to slavery as they can without violating the slave laws.
Filmmakers and artists always thrive during more liberal times.
I do believe that we are to love our enemies and do good to those who persecute you. I believe that there is power and strength in that.
But I’m not a member of the Democratic Party. If you know anything about me, anybody who’s followed me, I’m the anti-Democrat. I have railed against the Democrats for a long time.
I have a rule: I want the pilot flying me up in the air at 30,000 feet to make more than a guy working at Taco Bell.

I went without health insurance until ‘Roger & Me,’ basically – from about age 20 till about age 35. With ‘Roger & Me,’ I joined the Directors Guild and the Writers Guild, and since then I’ve had excellent health care managed by the union.
People like me who grew up in a working-class town, who don’t have a college education, you don’t usually hear from us.
There’s not democracy in the workplace. I mean, through most of our daily lives, the idea of democracy is fairly nonexistent. And I think things work better when the people who have to work with whatever it is we’re working with have a say in how it’s working.
A common denominator among big guys like me who are trying to take care of our health is that we’re not getting enough sleep.
I like America to some extent.
A sane person would think that Wal-Mart would never carry ‘Capitalism: A Love Story’ because it’s simply not in their best interests to inform their customers of their shady past.
The American public believes that health care is a right and not a commodity.
No one is entertained by economics.
I’m interested to see what happens with Fox News and phone hacking. I really can’t believe it just happens in Great Britain. Because really, who cares about just hacking phones over there?
I was a good little boy and a good student. I’ve never been arrested.
I still believe the lessons I learned when I was raised in a Roman Catholic household. Like, it’s harder for a rich man to get into Heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.
I’m caught up probably just as much in the consumer culture as the next person.
It should be a crime to make a profit off somebody being sick.
There should be no private health insurance companies operating for profit.
One thing I’ve learned about death threats is that they’re great, actually. You should actually be grateful for death threats because those who are taking the time to threaten you that way are getting it out of their system. That’s really what they rant to do, yell at you, and they want to threaten you.
I’m not a proselytizer. I was raised Catholic. I am a Catholic.
There’s only one movie theater in the entire city of Detroit. The entire city has one open movie theater, and it is in the – it is in the General Motors headquarters complex.
Building up the arms did not cause the fall of Eastern Europe.
You can’t regulate child labor. You can’t regulate slavery. Some things are just wrong.

Librarians in America do something like a couple of billion dollars worth of book business every year.
I don’t like to sit around whining about the corporate media, how they control everything, own everything. We already know that.
Contrary to what those in power would like you to believe so that you’ll give up your pension, cut your wages, and settle for the life your great-grandparents had, America is not broke. Not by a long shot. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
I’m tired of this discussion of capitalism and socialism; we live in the 21st century, we need an economic system that has democracy as its underpinnings and an ethical code.

I have never owned a share of stock in my life, and the only time I’ve double dipped into anything is at the snack tray.
If I were a capitalist I would not give my employees health insurance with no deductible, which I do, including dental, and paid pregnancy leave. That’s not called capitalism, that’s called being a Christian and someone who believes in democracy, so that everyone should get a fair slice of the pie.
It really is disgusting when a guy in a ball cap with a high school education is the one asking the tough questions.
Capitalism and democracy are the opposite of each other. Capitalism is a system that guarantees that a few are going to do very well, and everybody else is going to serve the few. Democracy means everybody has a seat at the table. Everybody.
