In his latest column, one of my favorite economists Walter Williams debunks that Marxist piece of garbage Michael Moore’s latest attack on the ideals of freedom.

According to the London Telegraph article, Moore’s film features
priests who say capitalism is anti-Christian by failing to protect the
poor. This is pure nonsense and revealed as such by asking, “If you’re
an unborn spirit, condemned by God to a life of poverty but allowed to
choose the country in which to be poor, would you choose a country near
the communist end of the economic spectrum or the capitalist end?” If
you chose the United States, you’d find that according to the
government surveys, the typical “poor” American has cable or satellite
TV, two color TVs, and a DVD player or VCR. He has air conditioning, a
car, a microwave, a refrigerator, a stove, and a clothes washer and
dryer, and whether he has health insurance or not, he is able to obtain
medical care when needed. Try to find that in Cuba, Russia, China or
North Korea. If we buy into the nonsense of Moore’s priests, the
world’s poor people are incredibly stupid. Whether fleeing legally or
illegally, their destination country is likely to be closer to
capitalism than their departure country.

I also find it quite hypocritical that Moore himself has taken advantage of the capitalist system in which he lives.  He has been free to achieve and succeed without government appropriation of his means.  As a matter of fact, he’s worth millions, lives in a waterfront home in Central Lake, MI worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and has been free to spread his crappy propaganda condemning the very nation that has made it possible for him to be that worthless sack of wealthy lard.

I can assure you that the corrupt government officials, crony “capitalists” and mafiosos in nations like Russia and Cuba are the ONLY ones allowed to live as well as Moore does in the United States.  I wonder how he would feel if the government seized his means of production – took control of his movies and only allocated an amount the politicians saw fit for him to live on…

I can guarantee one thing: capitalism has been good to Moore.  That fat fuck looks like he swallowed not just Marx’s carcass, but also Lenin’s, Che’s and Trotsky’s.
