It's Much Worse Than An Ignorance Of Economics

Michael Moore's comments show much more than just a profound ignorance of economics (and make no mistake, it is truly profound), they display a deep moral shortcoming.

Definitely watch the video, it's only a touch over a minute long.

Saw this video earlier today and have been thinking of how to do my own piece on Moore's remarks. But, goodness, it's tough to know where to start. Honestly, which moral/economic/political fallacy does one target first?

I really wish stupidity hurt so we could just avoid the people running around, holding their heads, and screaming "OWW!"

He's a very very misinformed man, and has been seen in many of his interviews, films, and talks, he's also the type of guy who thinks he's always right, and therefore will not listen to educated people's attempts to explain otherwise. Why aren't we making economics and logic mandatory classes in school?

Mr. Rumpletweezer, I will be stealing your comment and giving it the widest possible dispersion. Best thing that I have read in a LONG time! Thank you.
