In Michael Moore's latest movie:
One such tale involves a for-profit juvenile-detention center in Pennsylvania whose operators allegedly bribed two judges to give kids longer sentences, thus increasing revenues to the facility. This is a despicable crime, but it is a crime. The men involved are facing long prison sentences of their own. It might come as a shock to Moore, but political corruption predates capitalism and exists in every country on earth. Except Cuba, of course.
Corrupt judges + government contractors = capitalism.
Near the end of the film, Moore gives us what he thinks is the ultimate illustration of the failure of capitalism: a shot of the flooded Ninth Ward after Katrina. I looked around the theater and was dismayed to see so many nodding heads. The Ninth Ward flooded because a government agency, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, despite a surfeit of funding, failed at one of its most basic tasks: the maintenance of floodwalls around the city of New Orleans. In the real world, government was almost entirely to blame for the man-made component of the Katrina disaster. But in Moore's universe, up is down, and capitalism is to blame for everything.
