Why Does Will Ferrell Hoard His Money While Children Suffer?by Michael Wilson Will Ferrell and the fine folks over at “Funny or Die†are picking the low hanging fruit once again. This time they’re going after nameless, faceless “Insurance Executives†in a “satirical†PSA about government-run insurance. But the real comedy is watching a bunch of multimillionaires who do make-believe for a living opine about other people making too much money.The irony of the piece is so clear to EVERYONE who sees it. Aside from the unsupported and false claim that 80% of Americans support government-run health care, Ferrell and company decide to pick on the rich executives who clearly make their money preying on innocent victims and drinking the blood of babies without offering the world anything in return… except, of course, for a service that, when paid for (as all services should be) saves lives and keeps you from losing everything you own when you get sick. The irony here is that Will Ferrell earns $20 million a picture (yup, even for “Land of the Lostâ€). Donald Faison (â€Scrubsâ€), Jon Hamm (â€Mad Menâ€) and others join in the fun as well.We’re talking about net earnings in the hundreds of millions of dollars.The actors and comedians in the PSA could literally buy health insurance for tens, if not hundreds of thousands of uninsured Americans. And they don’t even have to wait for the government to take their money at gunpoint. They can just do it. And they should. It’s clearly being positioned as a moral issue, so is it immoral for these folks to hoard money while children are suffering?>>>
