Book Description:
Americans today are working harder, working longer and yet for most of us, in this time of ruthless downsizing and political cronyism, job security, a decent standard of living and a comfortable retirement are becoming harder and harder to find. In this brilliantly funny and right-on-target diatribe, irreverent everyman Michael Moore gives his own bold views on who's behind the fading of the American dream.
Whether issuing Corporate Crook trading cards, organizing a Rodney King Commemorative Riot, sending a donation to Pat Buchanan from the John Wayne Gacy fan club (which was accepted) or trying to commit former right-wing congressman Bob Dornan to a mental hospital, the in-your-face host of TV Nation and director/star of Roger & Me combines an expansive wit with biting social commentary to make you think and laugh at the same time.
In hardcover, Downsize This! stormed the bestseller lists of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle and others. Given Michael Moore's enormous -- and growing -- constituency, this trade paperback edition brings his unique perspective on the nation to an even greater audience.

Micheal Moore blasts stirical remarks and slightly taints the moralized visions that run this country in his highly hilarious book. He trashes the bigotted politicians that attempt to run a a country and raps on the monopolizing enterprizes that take away the simpilest of needs from our commen peoples.
But I'm gonna' skip the big-word mumbo jumbo and just come right out with this.
This book is pretty much made of awesome.

this is classic michael moore, focused more - and skillfully - on exposing corporate and government filth, before he became the post-september 11, farenheit 9-11, uninteresting michael moore.

Elizabeth C. (Michael Moore is entertaining - I take what he says with a grain of salt, but he makes me laugh. And he does bring up some very good points (sometimes)!
