Mitch Albom: Supply-Sider

From Today's Freep: (link)

If we rebate it, movies will come

By now, some of you know that tonight, a movie of my book "For One More Day," produced by Oprah Winfrey, will air on ABC. People this past week have been saying congratulations. And this is indeed a lucky, wonderful feeling. But I have one regret.

I wish it had been made in Michigan....
I love that Albom uses the Michigan revenue crisis as an excuse to plug a TV movie based on one of his overrated books.

...You can argue that we shouldn't give breaks to moviemakers if we don't give them to everyone. You may be right. But they're going to get them somewhere. And they'll go where that is. And a portion of something is better than a whole bucket of nothing, right?
Duh. You can make this argument for EVERY industry that Michigan has chased out in the last few years.

When did Mitch become a Republican?
