worth watching. i was shocked to learn that warren buffet disowned his grand daughter because she was in the film. there is nothing wrong with questioning things. being right or wrong is another issue. weird.

I hope Jamie Johnson continues making these docs. He is in a unique position to comment on the power and influence of the 'superrich', and has an unusual empathy for non-material values. I think he may just have a chance to have a 'happy' life.

Good Luck, Jamie

So all I'm seeing so far in this trailer is that rich people are generally douchebags, and class warfare exists. None of this is exactly revolutionary. The difference between America and other countries is I and every other American have just as much of a chance at becoming a rich douchebag as these already-rich douchebags did. Nobody is pointing a gun at my head forcing me into a breadline. Remind me why this is bad for Americans, again?

The people are finally starting to organize against this plutocracy. Watch the video "Occupy vs. Top 1%" to see what they've been accomplishing.

@AhYaOk Wait, Warren Buffet is against this film? I thought he was relatively socialist? I seem to recall him asking the US government to raise taxes on the rich a while back.

we have no family its just me and my daughter and son

no one gives a dam and all we wanted to do was farm a hundred acers

grow food and have good milk for our neighbours

and hopefully eventually we would have friends

no one cares about us and all we want is to farm WHO WILL HELP US

who will give us the 130 thousand we need to buy the farm

or buy the farm and let us work for you for free for ten years?

wheres the people that care?  integrity@cyg.net

@bw01a, to never fully enjoy life, only to work for a living to have what little you have when some rich guy makes what you make in a year in just a week doing nothing under the current tax boards. Please pull your head out of your ass before levying those judgements at an event you don't understand. Better yet, take that 15-inch government cock out of your ass as well. You must enjoy being fucked.

[nuyorican94521]

@bw01a, because the gap is widening, small businesses and below are not touched by any economic recovery at all other that large corporations and the upper class. My mom worked at her job for 20 years and she was laid off because her job lost business. Now she cannot live on her own and I must help. Of course you accept the way you live...

Like I said, give them a book, they chew on the cover!

Here's some Zen for ya, Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things!

Geez, you give a book they chew on the covers...That's what you get for "assuming"...remember what this country is founded on, it has faults, but so does everything. The grass is never greener on the other side, you still need to mow and water it.
