Heist: Who Stole the American Dream?

The Truth shall set us free! HEIST gives us a link to understand how we lost so much and how we can find it again.
Most of us know that a form of dissimulation has occurred in our civic life, that the truth of "for whom" or "why" many major political/economic decisions are made are concealed from the general public. We now see the revolving doors between DC, multinationals, and Wall Street; but how did this happen, how did we get here?
Well this film, "Heist: Who Stole The American Dream" follows the "plan", the "blueprint" that has impacted our democracy, our economy, our sense of security and our illusions that this is a country where everyone has a fair chance and can have a good life; and our trust that our government is for the people and by the people.
It is a relief to actually see how this happened, because without this kind of documentation we can feel we are being a bit paranoid, becoming one of those conspiracy theorists, or that we are helpless against some larger unknown, unseen forces. There's a power in seeing the truth.
Yet this film does not leave us in the...

AN IN-DEPTH POWERFUL LOOK AT HOW WE GOT SCREWED
HEIST - WHO STOLE THE AMERICAN DREAM is the best doc that helps to explain the mess we have been in for the last 5 years, who started it and offers some possible solutions for getting us moving to a better society for everyone. For me, the star of the film is Bob Crandall, former CEO of American Airlines who nails the greed of the 1%, stating for us all to hear loud and clear, that the price of a civilized society is paying your fair share of taxes. See it before you vote this election year and better yet, buy it, share it with your friends and family and fellow workers if you are lucky enuf to be employed and start the discussion going to see what you all can do to start us moving towards a more equitable and fair life for all.

A very informative films
I found the films very informative, and I was very impressed with the interviews. I thought it was very effective interviewing an ex CEO of American Airlines, who clearly understood the value of socially sponsored medical care. Not least, the films moved along without any dull moments.
