Run, Al, Run!!
[Michael] Moore wants Al Gore as US President?
Filmmaker Michael Moore has sparked speculations that he desires Al Gore's entry to the White House by stating that the man he wanted to see as the next President of the US has not entered the race yet.
Speaking at a lunch for his new documentary 'Sicko', Moore made oblique references to the former Vice-President.
"He's smart, funny and has humility," the New York Daily News quoted Moore as saying of his fellow liberal documentarian, who took home an Oscar this year for 'An Inconvenient Truth'.
"People in Europe don't complain about paying taxes when they actually pay more taxes, because they actually see a tangible result. They get something in return. Americans hate paying taxes because we can't even get a pothole fixed," he added.
Moore also that Norway was the best place in Europe with regard to health insurance.
"If you get sick in Norway, your health insurance will pay for a two-week spa vacation just to help you feel better," he said. (ANI)

You know what people should do when they get sick, medicate, shut up, and work. Can you imagine how many sad-asses take advantage of the liberal, I'm sick treat me laws in Europe...
Moore needs to fall off a cliff...

One thing I've been wondering is if he loves Europe so much then why doesn't he live there? Answer? The same European income taxes he was just celebrating. He doesn't want to pay taxes that high when he can live in a country with some of the lowest taxes on the planet, thereby allowing him to take advantage of the most advanced medical care on the planet with what he saved. My boss' son is dating a girl from Sweden, and they do in fact have some enviable social programs, but he also said that the average Swede pays out up to 80% of their income in taxes to pay for them.
I'll pass.

I'll pass. Me too! I can take care of myself, thank you very much... And the answer to your question of why Michael Moore doesn't live in Europe? There's only one feasible and parsimonious explanation... ...he's a &$%#&@% hypocrite!

If he ever develops a major medical problem his hypocrisy will be exposed when he seeks treatment in the U.S.
