This company is about money, not conspiracies to run the world or engineer political maneuvering and things like that. [Librarian's Comment: "Bullshit!"] It's about making money, and it's about making a lot of money. And they've done very well.

[Moore] Okay, let's say one group of people, like the American people pay you $400,000 a year to be president of the United States.
