'In Obama's Hands'

" The government that has to take -- If if you're gonna support. For example if you -- if if Freddie and Fannie go bankrupt the government's gonna take over right. Even if the government the post office is gone bankrupt Freddie when -- bankrupt anyone bankrupt Social Security's gonna go bankrupt this year -- the latest report from. Medicare is going bankrupt -- go bankrupt the FDIC -- bankrupt him. So my next question is why do you trust the government so much because that's the only what else is left. What's gonna take over. Capitalism isn't what -- say the post office is going bankrupt what makes you think the post office -- exist to make a profit. -- the point is who's gonna pay for all of -- police -- government services who's gonna pay for the -- whose pain from traffic lights politically it is for the army. I mean these are things that we don't for the army to make a -- Profit though it's not the fire department to make a profit the country's political sauce for the post office to make a profit -- a Postal Service that we need so Medicare will no profit so yeah. -- That the reason why it looks like there's not enough money until security -- that we may run out and a few years is because guys like you and me. Who make over a 110000 a year -- you know how much and I. I'm gonna guess you mean more than -- 110 running your business the -- I'm I'm the people who are listening to this right now there are probably gonna hear this for the first time move that that you and I -- 110000 dollars. -- zero. Zero Social Security -- Really think most of them off Social Security -- I would -- different that the people watching this are are having to pay a flat tax around 7%. I'm there wage of forty or fifty or 60000 dollars if and you -- I don't have to pay the flat -- on everything that we're -- you think that's right it's a very year you think it's right you are purposely misrepresenting what Social Security was originally cousin because yeah. -- really don't get a -- point because if you and I. And people who make over a 100000 dollars paid the same flat tax the guy making 50000 dollars a year -- There would be able let me just say this because it doesn't get -- There would be enough money Social Security the last to 2087. The point 187 if the wealthy paid their fair share when it."

" But everybody gets Social Security if you go back to its original intention. The this is money that was supposed to be put away is a sacred trust if you -- your whole life -- father hated nor any of your friends paid in the whole life. -- then that money would be available to them when they were tired. When you were tired it even -- stop at a 110000 -- you don't you don't keep getting more based on the money were made you get -- captive now. So everybody would pay in and they get a little bit back and their old age -- center it was not designed originally to be the end all to retire."

" But for people originally but but it became essentially your pension year old a -- how much -- my next question is how much of people's income do you Michael Moore. Want the government to confiscate. Well but for people like you and I -- Well I think I think you and I should be paying probably twice what we're paying right now so my case I paid I with a New York. I can't pay twice about a federal front page 60% of my income. -- oh yes certainly don't yes app Michael. I think for. You wanna take a second that -- go ahead and added up for me it's federal state even local county sales property 60%. That's look at NASA -- and that's our base and you can sit here and we 60% showing yet on what I say that I wanna I think -- an -- 120% in the whole. -- well I'm sure the people Nassau County appreciate your contravention they do yeah I'll say for the police and fire the -- the function of how should I be able to keep. And -- keep 20% annual world we don't like when you and I were growing up. I mean people paid. 70%. Up to 70% and that the wealthiest atop the top marginal -- top marginal rate and ended destroyed nearly destroyed the economy or are you can do you remember how the wealthy -- back then if you weren't going great chip JFK came in office and he dropped the top a marginal rates and we had economic growth rating came in office stopped drop the top marginal rates from from -- to 20%. Revenues to the government doubled their plummeting under Obama's plan. And and the country created 21 million jobs trail for 21 million new jobs plummeted on how many jobs of Obama lost in the jobs took the job -- started under Reagan. And this from going down whoever can create 21 million my real wages haven't gone up since Reagan's election and ask you this Obama promised that if we passed a stimulus. Unemployment wouldn't go above 8% from nine point 8%. That he lied to us bought everything programs he did that he lied to when you were I think -- I think that was his. I worship him in my film in the little -- for him home and home with them they can't handle that I am -- He didn't lie -- I think that was his hope that would have hoped. Well he's trying to undo -- now. It's George left behind by Jordan why not George Bush George W. Bush George W. Bush took us so the point is so Barack Obama he promised -- lobbyists. He promised no earmarks -- about that. Well I think that there's -- a lot of people that are disappointed about some of the things that have happened I -- no one's gonna say that they're thrilled with everything's going I just think. I'm willing to give the guy the grace period. To figure it out the -- you know and he's not gonna screws up how long as your grace period before you say I expect jobs created only tell you something. If he screws up. If he really goes back on his word if he becomes. The president of Goldman Sachs for Goldman Sachs and -- he said -- like I was in the movie if he is someone to say this if he if he really doesn't. Come through. It won't just be me -- will be a lot of people right who had a lot of hope. In him that he was going to be different than the last -- guy before him in -- doesn't happen you're going to see. First of all sadly you're going to see a lot of young people just give up. -- this your first experience in politics that got behind them. And then and then it didn't happen and they're going to turn into cynics. And they're gonna go at -- politicians like it's my parents are right you know they're all the same I don't think the rules and I think -- all I hope that that that won't happen but I think it'll pharmaceutical back to my question. How much of my income do you think I should be able to keep what can -- percent published you wanna keep I want to keep I -- keep. 75%. Gonna -- site. And I wanna choose where I give at least ten or 15% a year and in -- charity my wife are pretty generous and knowledge do you think I should be allowed to keep before I go to jail I think. I think that you should be paying half of your income not the people watching this but -- and I've paid more than -- in Texas some already -- I've ever met anybody that's paid -- paying more than 50% of salary I get to -- can bring a tax returns and demolish or you can -- you bring yours I'll bring me -- enough. But that sounds a little creepy because we're not in the locker room here -- let me ask you this -- talked a lot about. The health care when you movie -- came out yeah you know I think we actually have the video here you know when you go to Cuba the -- Warren does seem that everybody knows about we -- that video."

" They become known around the world is having -- one of the best health -- systems but as being one of the most generous countries -- providing doctors and medical equipment. To Third World countries. In the US. Health care costs run nearly 7000 dollars per person. -- Cuba. They spend only 251. Dollars. Kenya the Cubans are able to have a lower income more -- in United States. And longer every life span in the united -- They believe in preventive medicine and it seems like there's a doctor and every block. They're only sin when it comes to health care. Seems to be that they don't do it for profit."

" Do you think if you only got access to the hospitals in the areas they wanted to -- we'll look where we want. -- let me show you we've we have some undercover video of some real hospitals in Cuba -- take a look at. Troll tech -- There's -- civil justice system we have an undercover video this is a real human hospital -- I want to take a look at it. And -- look at the conditions. And is about as filthy. And about as dirty and about as discussed thing. As any hospital -- ever seen telling your movie you have a very different impression. Come so far continue to receive an American hospital that running -- about things you call with the hospital waiting to see the patience I wanted to be look at that's a patient's bed related. Now they probably would -- on. Where -- Jose hospital really want to Cuba where the people but the."

" Not -- thank god no would you want the -- he has this not a because that's probably because it's a real hospital and Arnold and we're gonna see a doctor and it's just keep rolling the patriot dissertation on wanted to patient -- out at somebody and we've got what you want -- that looks -- we may get a -- tired of him -- in an -- you right now -- now we're back to the -- filthy I -- you cut in a couple can't tell you don't. -- I have a question you're throwing arms of waiting to see a doctor or nurse shorter. Michael Palin had -- on -- now. While it may not as early adopters -- and their doctors or maybe your maybe your analysis of -- system was -- so you think they just -- all the patients and to a hospital don't -- little that's correct yeah. That's the problem might help him really so they lure the sticking to the hospital --"

" I put them into the bed and then there's no nurses and doctors anywhere. And -- last month. Is actually would -- I would still waiting is -- the hospital."

" That's the point let me ask you what Michael Moore get sick on that it usually. -- there we go here we got de Mayo clinic. I'm now on -- Sloan Kettering god forbid he ever got to prevent cancer that matter and -- you know I if you have any other problem. I'll give you the choice of the best hospitals in America or you're Cuban hospitals -- you say they have such a good life standby which by the way I've -- you bring your own toilet paper. Yeah that's not true I was there I saw it that's showed you what it wanted you to see. If I got sick in Cuba I -- be taken Carol very well by Mayo clinic -- Sloan Kettering or -- Cuba what who gets. Cool living in Harlem gets to go to Sloan -- of the Mayo clinic tell -- he's only three drugs that was created a -- because I tried to look at because half the -- and it's a Third World country also -- create an interest though so they created in the US. -- created with our tax -- a lot of them are you write these companies are making millions on research and development that's before our university's -- got with a presidential dollars."
