Michael Moore on the Dole

Recent reports suggest that pro-government, pro-tax, anti-capitalist Michael Moore likes the a government hand-out and responds to economic incentives himself!

"Moore's production has qualified to receive a tax credit from Michigan, the film office told the Mackinac Center, once the state Treasury Department reviews and approves the application. It wasn't immediately clear how much money the film qualified for."

I generally have no quarter with anyone who takes advantage of what the law allows. Particularly in the area of taxes, where there's no rhyme or reason for half or more of the laws on the books.

It's hypocritical though for someone who is in favor of increasing taxes on the rest of us to so deftly try to reduce his own personal tax bill.

But that cuts to the heart of the pro-tax liberal movement, whose overriding message that opponents hear is "we're in favor of big government and tax increases, so long as it's paid for by the other guys".
