A lot of people seem to forget that the system of a free society where people have the chance to be better off and enjoy their wealth is because the less fortunate do not use violence to get their share of “freedom”. Seing this documentary it occurred to me that all the profiteers are white. Sorry guys! And that a new form of slavery has been established. ( a very small group having a nice life on the costs of a very large group working their pants off).

I agree with the message but has anyone here actually read Ayn Rand’s books? I have read multiple books, as have my friends. While I don’t fully agree with her philosophy completely, as I think she forgets the environmental impact for instance, her real point is something that this totally ignores. Her main message was that people use government to favor certain businesses, not the businesses that thrive because they are efficient and lack bureaucracy. The reason the rich are able to thrive off the poor is because of authoritative government and religion. Without both the rich wouldn’t be any richer. Please be informed and read :)

I wish this video could be shown in public schools.

You need to watch the documentary to understand the message. Anyone will agree with the first and last two sentences in your comment. What you failed to understand is that the rich people mentioned in this documentary are making money off everyone else and are not working at all for it. They are making the poor and the middle class pay for their greed. Think of the many other billionaires not mentioned in this documentary and why they were excluded from it.

There is definitely a large gap between classes, the political environment is corrupt, etc. But for someone who worked hard for their money…. is it their requirement to give back to society (morals/ethics aside)? America strives to give every one a fair go, but reality says this is not feasible. Capitalism opens many doors that would not be available otherwise. But also life is not meant to be fair.
