Framing is at least half the battle and sometimes it's the entire battle. Although along those lines, I think Moore made a mistake in attacking capitalism generically rather than making a more nuanced argument that the true 'evil' is un or under-regulated capitalism coupled with very low tax rates on the rich.

Restore and enforce good regulations and top marginal tax rates. Throw in single payer and a focus on rebuilding our broken infrastructure using the funds from the increased rates and there you go.
