The economics seem sound and provides explanation why the middle class financial health is the key to a successful economy and solid democracy.Former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich, explains this argument in understandable terms. Using testimony from the really rich Americans, including Warren Buffet, to everyday middle class Americans struggling to maintain their quality of life.The loss of one star is due to the web site promoting a clearly liberal agenda. The documentary itself has no political message which motivated me to go to the web site to take action. But, alas, when the web site had nothing but political elements, it turned me off.

When I saw this in the in flight magazine, I wondered whether I could enjoy this movie, which came across as rather academic and dry.I was wrong big time. What a compelling movie. I only wish it could have gone on longer or even form part of a series of movies, a sequel or two would benefit in getting the message across to the masses that we need to understand the consequences of the 1% becoming more and more unequal.Robert Reich, who was Labor Secretary in the Bill Clinton Cabinet, is a top notch communicator and he's also entertaining in getting his message across in a clear-cut way.

My die-hard liberal friend told me to watch this movie, and now I know why. This movie is most certainly bi-partisan, in favor of democrats and big government.The movie starts out rather non-biased. The producer shows startling statistics and facts, which anyone would say are not good, like how CEO pay has increased substantially compared to average workers since the 50's.But then he, very biasedly, explains why this all has happened, and ways we can get out of it. His answers include taxing the rich more and electing democrats in office. The guy uses Bill Clinton in this movie like he is a prophet. He definitely is prompting not just his message, but his political agenda in this movie. Never once does he say anything negative about democrats.It's worth watching, but with a VERY open mind. #TRUMP2016

This film is filled lot of emotional nonsense and naive liberal talking points, but it still has some actual facts sprinkled throughout.There are two major problems with this film: no mention of the Federal Reserve and the idea that taxes fix problems The more important of the two is the Federal Reserve (central bank which is privately owned) and the incredible role it plays in American's economy. It is the sole reason, along with nearly infinite fractional reserve banking, that allows the financiers to become as exorbitantly rich as they are.Second point is that taxes don't fix anything. All of the growth we've seen comes from the heart of the economy and the market's wishes, not government officials (who are already beholden to special interests like Reich explained) waving magic wands. More taxes don't fix anything, they just lead to more governmental waste and more lobbyists vying for that money.Although many others are present, these two alone make this documentary a joke. If you have any knowledge of economics at all, you'll realize how oblivious Reich is.
