Yeah, I think it's a must see, even though the narrator is corny as hell.....

*matter of fact, I might watch it again*

This is why, I always tell people to work smart, not hard.

I wonder if people will wake up and realize the 1% is making so much money because they are not paying anyone because wages are low. Plus these same fools are spending the little they do make on nonsense. And people are getting paid less to do more in this economic cycle that might last for a total of 10 or 15 years.

This will go over the head of a lot of people. The masses are pretty blind. I don't think people should wait for the government, what they need to do is stop spending and start to drive the wealth of their "own" families.

bu bu bu bu but swagg, impressing females, being a worker bee, and being in serve credit / financial debt is much more important than educating yourself on the ways of society......

It has to come a time when people start to reevaluating their priorities, and focusing on what matters: stronger values, better belief system, and increased discipline. At this point, I'm watching cattle being lead to the slaughter.

so to the elitist class the question is simple... either we eat together, or no one eats at all... whats it gonna be :stopitslime:

Basically. The divide is not that bad in other countries.

What's funny to me is that the families (Johnson & JOhnson, Buffet, etc) are almost afraid to talk about how much money they have like; "shyt someones finally going to let out the secret".

Like i said the kicker on this for me is that it's a top down view, i doubt a typical documenter would have access to the candid responses and..."respect" he received. You know damn well he threw his name around to get face time with the people on this video.

Crazy how Warren Buffet disowned his grand daughter just for being in the video and then the next day donates all that money.

Not everyone can be rich. You just a cog in the wheel. Who does the work when everyone is a millionare/billionare. Robots? Its a society you cant even imagine.

I doubt that, its well known how much money they have. But as the patriarch his only goal is not to expose his family or castle. He told him to go talk to some other folks.

I'm at the point wondering if we will ever get order out of chaos. Also, this video is 10 years old, you can only imagine the sentiment of rich people these days since they are under attack and are being blamed for the world's problem.

:cheers:

I know that, the main problem I have with conservatives is that they stick to a certain philosophy which entails: If I work real hard then one day, I too, will become wealthy. This same concept is what promoted slavery and encouraged racism in the south. This attitude virtually brainwashed poor whites into think they were on the same level of prestige as a wealthy person. Which in it's self is extremely far fetched.

:deadhorse:

But, in the mean time, these brainwashed individuals go around thinking like a wealthy person who's trying exceed their profits. By voting against policies which cut social programs that would most likely benefit them( non rich people).

Honestly let's be real, no one would care if, the economy was stable. Outside of a few enlightened individuals and many be a few conspiracy theorist / anarchist.

Case and point, we a need a scapegoat to blame our troubles on.

The only real issue that needs be addressed is the health care system in our country. I couldn't believe how bad the health care system is America after I saw the movie John Q as a kid. Citizens shouldn't have to worry about going deeply into debt to under go treatment.

The other issue is attacking obesity.

Then I could care less about the "elite" and their "agenda"

I was always concered about apathy. Imagine before the 9/11 attacks people knew little to nothing about international news. All these years later people are shallow as ever. Too many people don't value being informed, and only react when something goes against their sometimes flawed belief system.

There is a lot of racism/self hate involved as well. Alot of people do not want to lose a penny of their money if they feel it is going to someone they look down on. Sadly, some of these same people are the ones who help them run their companies but again with such a plentiful supply of uneducated/cublicle slaves there is no real incentive for them to see you as something other then replaceable because in alot of ways we are easily replaceable.

Things are designed to make a few rich, a handful comfortable, a lot stuck in poverty with a few windows for them to slip through the cracks.

As the 1 percent i think its easy to look down on the common man or see them as property because many people never realize how population is effected by industry. There are whole towns that were practically created because a particular industry came into town or set up shop in a particular area.

We all know everyone cant be rich but that isnt going to stop the individual from thinking *yea, but im not them*

It is what it is. I can give someone all the tools in the heliosphere to be successful, doesn't mean they'll ever reach it

It was a struggle at times for me not to become jaded, too. But all you can do is focus on doing your part.

At the 1:07:11 mark Robert Reich made some very good points, and salvaged the documentary.
