1CitizenOfEarth·177 videos

Uploaded on May 24, 2011

This 80-minute documentary focuses on the growing "wealth gap" in America, as seen through the eyes of filmmaker Jamie Johnson, a 27-year-old heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical fortune. Johnson, who cut his film teeth at NYU and made the Emmy®-nominated 2003 HBO documentary Born Rich, here sets his sights on exploring the political, moral and emotional rationale that enables a tiny percentage of Americans - the one percent - to control nearly half the wealth of the entire United States. The film Includes interviews with Nicole Buffett, Bill Gates Sr., Adnan Khashoggi, Milton Friedman, Robert Reich, Ralph Nader and other luminaries.

.. some little of the conversation ..

one lady said, 'it's a good game, you can play with others balls' .. heh, now a paraphrase of one of, Jamie Johnson's, 'my father never did [like to?, not sure if that was there] talk to me' .. one wealthy guy repeats the myth of the rich being the job creators .. obviously they are serious 'trickle downers' .. it's a good film .. and .. to an expressed concern of increasingly rising inequality, 'would it have been better if the wealth of the poor hadn't risen at all?' .. i think that was Friedman .. just listening while tapping .. lol ..

.. just heard one of the wealthy guys say, "i would not rule out the possibility of armed rebellion in
this country" .. now, isn't that just cozy, he wouldn't rule it out .. yeah, it could happen .. shrug ..

OH! .. was thinking it was a longish 9 minutes, and see now it's into Part 2 .. chuckle, good, it's pumped into Part 3 now .. it FLOWS ON .. that's good .. a rough paraphrase of another, ''it was Herbert Spencer who coined the phrase the survival of the fittest'', that social Darwinism is still believed by many of the rich now' .. another guy was asked what he thought of his part in the Iran Contra affair said. 'that was just marketing' .. just business as that is what it is to so many of them .. shrug ..

is one of their driving forces .. Jamie is making himself unpopular .. anyway, only one more ..
