Documentary: The One Percent

[SCORCH]

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

Yup, he was terrible.

And he got sonned at the end. "I think it's time for you to get out of here, you've exhausted my patience."

Great level of access but simply the wrong guy for the documentary.

Btw are there any good documentaries about Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath? Link it up brehs.

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.

You didn't see an akwardness to some of the answer that the "rich" gave him? Maybe secret wasn't the right word but definitely some of the people gave answers then gave a sour look like they just realized what they said.

Are the rich really under attack and if so by whom?

I'm not sure what the awkwardness really means, at least you conceded its not because they are hiding something.

At this point no one is really under attack, but talk about corporations, banks, and hedge funds is a very polarizing topic these days though.

Can you blame people? Everybody wants to blame someone when really every is to blame (minus me).

People bought houses they shouldn't have.
Banks sold houses they shouldn't have.
Banks bought securities leveraged on the afore mentioned houses.
The government didn't do enough, or maybe to much (either way their fault).

At the end of the day I look at it like this.
Who lost?

- Banks? No not really, they were bailed out and able to bounce back, ironically they are already back to their old practices, in AZ house values are starting to climb up and you can still buy a house with no down and shyt credit. The people who moved the pieces and played the games are still moving pieces and playing the game, all on the back of tax payer money.

- Government? No, last i checked the same b*stards in charge then are in charge now.

- The people.
Well, they lost and continue to lose. Houses, jobs, educational debt with no jobs. When you look at how things played out we're sold the idea that "it could have been worse", that's the line the people were sold.
Millions of jobs lost,
millions going hungry
tent cities...

and we get "it could have been worse".

SO yeah can you blame most people for being a little pissed.

One huge mess, and it real tragic what happened to all those people.

 

[OsO]

a big issue is that the top 1% dont even live in the same world as the rest of us. many of them are totally disconnected from the "real" reality, and will probably only wake up after they're

some may realize sooner though

Watching it now...good stuff. Milton Friedman is coming off as a complete fukking douchebag.

I've watched about three documentaries on the super rich.
I think the Johnson&Johnson kid shot to different films because
he has one where he primarily interviews his rich peers and then one
where he talks about the vast difference between conservative american's and the
rich who push their "work hard, live large" ideals on them causing them to vote nonsensically at times.

I think it's really insightful, there are people who have new money and don't see the big deal with speaking on their cash, then there are people with old money who are snobbish and spoiled or cats like the Johnson&Johnson dude who is really cool about it, knowing he's well off but isn't a jack @ss about it.

One thing I won't ever do is get mad at these kids for something their grandparents/great grandparents set up a hundred years ago. You can't help who you're born to

:edit:
Yeah this is the second flick I've seen about it, the first was more personal about his childhood.
He was interviewing Dukes/Old Money Kids/New Money Kids etc.
It might not have been him and if it wasn't, it was someone equally rich with access to people the
public on average wouldn't be able to talk to.

:edit:
Yeah I found it, here is his first documentary, I watched it some time ago.
This one is more about being born super rich, not necessarily the massive
difference between the middle-class to poverty stricken American and the top 1 percent.

Dope site. I'm a documentary junkie so I'm in heaven right now

Yeah I'll never grasp how people can really live with that mentality. "it could have been worse" the hell kind of goal is that to shoot for.

I've never been one for conspiracy theories and such but no one is going to tell me that some of these cats aren't in collusion to keep things as they are.

Ironically it's really short sighted. Could you imagine if those that have used that money for other reasons than to make more money?
