You are actually doing what you accuse us of doing. You are blaming "corruption" which is some vague value that is not controllable, except through government regulation and with a corrupt government, regulation will only make it worse.

Sure it can be viewed as “Go USA” propaganda but so what? The film was trying to point out (to kids) the differences between a country with freedom and country that utilizes state-control. If you want a nanny-government move to Canada…or simply keep supporting the current Administration’s socialist agenda.

I agree Fred, but we should have started standing up during the last administration and impeached our leader for his lies and scare tactics then. He feed all his cronies coffers on the backs of our hard working country and our fine military service people. He used scare tactics the like I have never seen before. We bowed down and surrendered our rights without even asking questions. Now we're jumping on the new administration for trying to find a better way, but we ignore what put us here to begin with..... It's hard to blame the farmer for the pile of horse manure, when the former leader brought the horse into the barn to begin with...

The snake-oil salesman was sharp. He put on his shady scheming face and started with the pitch for one ism, pulled in a trust-inspiring ringer (john q. public) to downplay the quality of the product and suggest another, then raked in the cash as the morons bought his unlabeled "ISM" tonic from the ringer. Brilliant!
the problem is that the movie reinforces the view that in order for there to be freedom in society there must be gross inequality and an elitist pyramidal structure.
