This 80-minute documentary focuses on the growing “wealth gap” in America, as seen through the eyes of filmmaker Jamie Johnson, a 27-year-old heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical fortune. Johnson, who cut his film teeth at NYU and made the Emmy®-nominated 2003 HBO documentary Born Rich, here sets his sights on exploring the political, moral and emotional rationale that enables a tiny percentage of Americans – the one percent – to control nearly half the wealth of the entire United States. The film Includes interviews with Nicole Buffett, Bill Gates Sr., Adnan Khashoggi, Milton Friedman, Robert Reich, Ralph Nader and other luminaries.

"Born Rich", by Jamie Johnson :

Well thank you, kind sir !

We must remember that there are those among the elites (generally the younger ones) who don't agree with the globalist oligarchs and work to halt the criminal psychopaths at the top. I wonder if they're making any headway ?!

It would do us good to know who those brave souls are and help them any way we can.

Though in truth, I have very little faith in the progeny of The Global 0.01% Parasitic Class, Jamie Johnson and others may succeed in bringing a little love and light to bear upon some deep dark corners previously impervious to "the milk of human kindness" ~{:-)
