Capitalism: A Love Story Page #2

The property that it's on

was my family farm.

So l've lost a piece

of my heritage with this.

Why do you do this

to the hard-working people?

Why do you take everything?

You take everything

away from them.

We're just middle-class,

hard-working people

trying to make a living.

Just trying to survive.

An old Browning.

( grunts )

My pistol,

my dad's pistol, my pistol.

( sighs )

- ( knocking )

- Man:
Sheriff's department.

lt's supposed to be 30 days.

l got 30 days to get my stuff out.

- That's what the guy told me.

- No.

What?

lt's currently scheduled for today.

But...

The paper's telling us

that we are due

to do an eviction here

today at 9:
00 AM.

Huh, shoot.

Well, he's surprised too.

The house is gone.

That cop told me that the house

has already been sold

to somebody else.

So we don't own the house no more,

somebody else does.

Moore:

This is capitalism,

a system of taking and giving--

mostly taking.

The only thing we didn't know

was when the revolt would begin.

Man:
Everything,

we've tried everything...

except robbing a bank.

l'm thinking about

maybe doing that.

You know, that's one way

somebody could get their money back.

lf they did it--

they did it to me,

l don't know why

l can't do it to them.

Peter zalewski:

This is my second Hyundai Sonata.

l'll probably get a new car next year.

And when l do,

it'll probably be another Sonata.

You know, l'm not a car guy.

lf l can go in there

and steal a condo

for the equivalent of what

a Mercedes would cost

or a Bentley would cost,

l'm all about that.

Moore:

Meet Peter zalewski,

Florida's up-and-coming

real estate whiz.

Here we go.

Moore:
He calls his

real estate company Condo Vultures.

( stuttering )

We have a very good sign.

You have the final notice

of eviction.

So you can see this person

was basically thrown out

by the police department.

Welcome.

Moore:

Peter deals exclusively

with clients who buy up

foreclosed homes

and then resell them at a profit.

lt's gonna be about

At the end of the day,

the only people who are buying

are primarily individuals

that we represent...

Today it's on the market

for $66,000.

...which are basically bottom feeders

who are going in there.

They have no compassion,

no sensitivity.

They're running purely off numbers

They're coming in all cash,

and they're looking to slit

any single seller's throat

regardless of what

their situation is.

So people always ask,

''What's 25c on the dollar?''

This is it.

This is what you're gonna get.

The vulture basically represents

a bottom feeder

that goes in there

and cleans off a carcass.

Because they're dealing with

so many different germs and situations,
