The One Percent

On the back of the top 1% discussions here, there's an interesting film above on YouTube about the growing 'wealth gap'.

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 luminarie

According to the movie due to her involvement in the movie Nicole Buffet received a letter from her grandfather Warren Buffet, explaining that he no longer considers her part of the family.

On my part, I thought the "one percenters" were Outlaw Bikies :)
 
I'm surprised he managed to get an interview with Bill Gates.

I watched the movie for a bit, and it's pretty interesting. I don't think it warrants Nicole Buffett getting such a harsh treatment
 
I think you will find that people who fall into the "one percenters" generally will have autism, in one form or another.

They just do not think,behave, or react like the average person in society.

Similar to the character of Sheldon, on Big Bang Theory.

those people compaining about the one percent are still in the top five percent.

err this was a documentary about the 1% from within the 1%.

It was an interesting watch (insider point of view), although not really that enlightening and in part agree with Friedman's criticisms of the filmmaker. When Jamie Johnson is asked the tough questions in the film from others he works around it or doesn't answer lol.
