<p>Oh, to be an &quot;<a href="http://www.mackinac.org/13246">artist</a>&quot;:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The Traverse City Record-Eagle yesterday reported that filmmaker Michael Moore expects to receive between $650,000 and $1 million in state film subsidies for producing part of &quot;Capitalism: A Love Story&quot; in Michigan.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So he filmed part of his movie in Michigan and now he gets some money from the government. What does he plan to do with this money? The article continues:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>[T]he Record-Eagle reported that Moore has &quot;a new project - revitalizing derelict, depressed downtown theaters in communities across Michigan.&quot; The fact that he would use taxpayers' money to pay for his philanthropy was barely noted.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>As the MCPP says, it's easy to be generous with other people's money. I'd be more impressed if the super-rich Moore, who made his money by distorting the truth and harassing businessmen, used his own money for the public good. Maybe on his next project...</p>
