Moore exploited victims of 9/11 to paint a rosy face on Cuba's healthcare system, amongst other socialized schemes. In Moore's world, all "profits" are evil and constantly hit on the "we're all in this together" theme, meaning we are obligated to pay for everyone's "free" healthcare. A question for Michael Moore: who is going to pay to develop brand new drugs when healthcare is "free"? Who is going to pay for multimillion dollar new MRI machines?

Controversial filmmaker Michael Moore is going offer his solution to societal ills through one of his documentaries. If Moore's past movies are any indication of the coverage he will get, it is sure to be a media hit. Already, Huffington Post blogger and MSNBC daytime anchor Carlos Watson is praising praised Moore's early promotion of the flick. "Michael Moore, the filmmaker, is back and this time he was taking aim at Wall Street," Watson said on June 15.

To pay for it all, he suggests a $2 per gallon federal tax. Writing on The Daily Beast Web site, Moore said he was writing from Flint, Michigan, GM’s birthplace, which he described as abandoned and emptied by the company’s incompetence and eagerness for cheap labor. “Who among us wants $50 billion of our tax dollars thrown down the rat hole of...

Even left-wing careerist Ralph Nader denounced the bankruptcy petition, calling it "an avoidable, crude weapon of mass devastation for workers, dealers, auto suppliers, small businesses and their depleted communities.

Then Sen. Arlen Specter switched sides. Majority Democrats did not allow Republicans to replace Specter, turning an 11-8 committee into a 12-7 panel. The committee has not been that unevenly divided in decades, and it's a huge advantage for the majority party. "They could nominate Michael Moore and the Democratic caucus would confirm him," a dejected Republican aide told me.
