Moore begins his expose

He illustrates the replacement of jobs, illness from a McNugget and insurance failure, etc. which, according to him all systematically plays into the hands of the rich. Social and Environmental issues are problems that Moore focuses a great deal upon, he first uses social issues to show the lack of common standing among the commonwealth, the cost of living had grown by 48% while minimum wage had gone to an all time low since 1967 at 3.35$.
