Don't Bite the Hand That Feeds You

He's taken on health care. And gun control. Even former President Bush. But now, Michael Moore is seeking a complete overthrow of capitalism. He's new 'documentary', "Capitalism: A Love Story", premiered today in Venice. The movie makes the claim:

"Capitalism is an evil, and you cannot regulate evil," the two-hour movie concludes. "You have to eliminate it and replace it with something that is good for all people and that something is democracy."

Is Michael Moore unaware that capitalism is essential for his movie to succeed? Without capitalism, people lack the incentive to make the money needed to afford luxuries, like movie tickets. I know that railing at Michael Moore is pretty tired ("American Carol", anyone?), but his lack of reasoning and logic astounds me.

Too bad he wasn't enamored enough with Cuba's health care to stay there a few years ago...
