For some reason, we’re on corpulent corporate bashing Michael Moore’s email list.
Yesterday we got an email from our pal Mike that proved he’s as good an economist as he is a film maker.
He presents a 9-point plan to revitalize America. It involves mass construction projects including bullet trains, light rail systems, fleets of electric cars, windmills and solar panels, and hybrid cars and busses.
But how, you may ask, can we possibly afford all this? Well, Michael has the answer to that, too.
“To help pay for this, impose a two-dollar tax on every gallon of gasoline. This will get people to switch to more energy saving cars or to use the new rail lines and rail cars the former autoworkers have built for them.”
Yes, $2 per gallon. Overnight. Bang. The price goes up more than 50% overnight.
We have a better idea. Enforced liposuction on all obese film makers. Burn it like they used to burn whale oil back in the 1800s. We’d cut our foreign energy dependence overnight.
