    Pay attention boys and girls, this is one for the history books. Seriously, this is an important slice of current American history. Better than anything else this highlights a total 180 on labor for both the left and the right... and it's only 10 years old. Nike, yeah, they make a big deal out of how the company moved abroad and now operates sweat shops... that was a left wing issue 10 years ago. And today the left will attack anyone that criticizes Nike as "racist." But it goes beyond that. 10 years ago it was the left that thought outsourcing was bad, and that spoke out against major corporations that did it. Now it's the right that is speaking out against outsourcing... and, well, they are BOTH championing enormous corporations. In fact, the left would call any protection of domestic labor from outsourcing "nationalism" and "racist." At least that was something the right is, unfortunately, consistent on... but the left will all but nail you to the cross if you say anything about Disney, Nike, Google, Apple, and so on. And then there is the plight of Middle America, that was something that both sides could at least pay lip-service to, but in 2019... the argument on the left has turned that all of Middle America (save, Chicago and, maybe parts of Colorado) are absolute evil and full of people in white hoods. This stands as a shining example of how fast things change in only one short decade.

Requiem for the American Dream

Through interviews filmed over four years, Noam Chomsky unpacks the principles that have brought us to the crossroads of historically unprecedented inequality – tracing a half-century of policies designed to favor the most wealthy at the expense of the majority – while also looking back on his own life of activism and political participation. He provides penetrating insight into what may well be the lasting legacy of our time – the death of the middle class, and swan song of functioning democracy.

Inequality for All

Based on Reich's 2010 book Aftershock: The Next Economy and America's Future, the film examines widening income inequality in the United States. U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich tries to raise awareness of the country's widening economic gap. He publicly argued about the issue for decades, and producing a film of his viewpoints was a "final frontier" for him. In addition to being a social issue documentary, Inequality for All is also partially a biopic regarding Reich's early life and his time as Secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton's presidency. Warren Buffett and Nick Hanauer, two entrepreneurs and investors in the top 1%, are interviewed in the film, supporting Reich's belief in an economy that benefits all citizens, including those of the middle and lower classes.
