Well, this was refreshing to hear from Lovitz...although it was disturbing that the interviewer Kevin, whoever that is, was happy that he made a whole pile of money and got to keep half of it. Kevin is typifies Hollywood; they do have lots of money and it doesn't occur to them that it's theirs, not the governments. Worse it represents a mindset that doesn't think logically, but gets carried away in emotional responses that doesn't calculate the increased costs on insane EPA regulations, or the waste and fraud as the result of stupid venture boondoggles like Solyndra. They just don't get that government isn't the solution, it's the problem.

The Jon Lovitz Tax Rant: If Obama Loses the Hollywood Left

Many years ago, before it became associated with foreign intervention, neo-conservatism was simply a term for former liberals who migrated to the right. It was said that they had been “mugged by reality.”

We may need a new term, perhaps “Holly-tarians,” for folks in the entertainment industry who have begun to realize the downside of excessive government. I’ve already favorably cited Clint Eastwood for his pro-flat tax views and dismissed Arnold Schwarzenegger on national TV as a de facto statist, but there are other actors who deserve some attention.

I don’t know whether Jon Lovitz is a budding Hollywood...
