Moore: Corporate welfare stinks -- except for me!

Excellent job by Michigan's libertarian Mackinac Center exposing hypocrisy by Michael Moore. Moore hates corporate welfare. He even hates it when taxpayers are forced to give money to Hollywood producers. The Mackinac Institute's Kathy Hoekstra has him on tape saying so.

But, in this well researched and produced piece, she reports that his producers are applying for taxpayer subsidies from Michigan's egregious film-welfare program for the portions of "Capitalism: A Love Story" that were filmed there.
