For Mr Johnson, please keep making thought provoking films! It is NOT an "us" versus "them" world. We mmust al work together to make it great.

I didn't expect much from this documentary, since it was created by a family member of the 1 percent. But this was worth watching.

One percent inspires great songs! For a good one, in the style of Steely Dan, search "1 Percent, A Protest Song" on YouTube

Outstanding Film -- very well made and informative. A top quality achievement by J.J. and team !!

Apart from enlightening content, it really succeeds in exposing Milton Friedman for the arrogant obnoxious jerk that he was.

One good answer to M. Friedman (and Thomas Friedman, as well), can be found in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As soon as industrial workers around the world gain the rights to which they are entitled. motivation to outsource American jobs will greatly diminish.

It was your hero George W. Bush that went crazy spending. In 2008, he declared that the U.S. economy was having a "hangover" and chuckled about people losing their jobs and homes. He then left the sinking ship for Obama.

Wrong. If 56% is being spent on Offense (what the government calls defense), then that leaves only 44% left for everything else. Which makes sense. The U.S. spends more on military spending than any other nation on earth.

Nice try though. Maybe go back to school for math?
