The city of Chicago has announced that it will give cash rewards to businesses that rat out other businesses that cheat on their taxes. Give me a break, next they will want you to turn in your neighbors if they use too much energy or jaywalk. This is bound to turn into a communist-scare type manhunt that will only further discourage businesses from flocking to Chicago. Would you open a business in Chicago if you neighbor had an economic incentive to report your for tax crimes?

Michael Moore is at it again with his film, Capitalism: A Love Story. I'm not going to review the film or go point by point on why the film is a complete affront to logic, but I am going to raise a few quick issues with Moore's relentless attack on capitalism.

In the film he says 1) that captialism is evil and 2) that capitalists are greedy and that we should take money from the rich and give that money to the poor. My issue is that he can still say those things after being a multi-million dollar documentary maker that profited heartily off of the capitalist system. The last time I checked, he's worth somewhere in the realm of $60 million. If Moore believes what he says, the best way for him to show that would be for him to donate all of the money from his films to government agencies that help the poor, or directly to people that have less money than him. He decries the system that has made him incredibly wealthy.
