The One Percent

My favourite movie 🎥🎥🍿

Fantastic! Thanks 😊

Great film

There was one thing what Milton Friedman didn't explain to this boy clearly, the problem is not that the wealthy people create more products and services in economy, the real problem is how rich are benefiting from printing infinite money that the federal reserve print every year and giving to the wealthiest people first who then buy hard assets and creating more wealth gap with corruption, not with actual productivity, that's what really makes life for the poor people every day more and more expensive and harder.

Love this

absolutely masterful documentary

He is exposing the EVIL hoarding of wealth to the few while 360 million Americans are suffering. They WILL NOT pay workers a living wage. They WILL NOT allow unions to give workers a decent wage. Here in TX they pay $10-12 hour with NO benefits. Capitalism only works for those 1% with money. They DON'T want to pay taxes. They DON'T want democracy where citizens vote. They want an authoritarian dictator who corrupts the gov't by stealing, committing crimes and getting away with it (trump).

Trickle down economics NEVER worked. Friedman was a douchebag. WTG, Jamie Johnson...keep up the good work. You're on to something.

Why is money the focus of the discussion? I don’t see any Amish disgusted by this 😅

James Johnson is as much a trustafarian as his kid. Guy could barely string together a coherent sentence.

The guy saying that congress is not influenced by lobyists because ultimately congress is influenced by the public is basicly saying that as long as the public chooses lying corrupt politicians then it will continue.

God doesn't give anyone anything, you just have to take it for yourself. No one isn't going to save you. My father was sent to an orphanage when he was young and then ended up with an aunt who was a millionaire, well she ditched him on another aunt who was extremely poor, whom, herself, eventually ditched him as well. He eventually became a millionaire on his own without any help from any family members because no one cared. I, eventually, set out on my own to become a millionaire on my own. I never asked my father for money or even how he invested stocks to become a millionaire. I invest stocks wildly differently from my father. He likes American companies while I love foreign companies. What little family I still have left doesn't have anything to do with me ironically. I've never prayed to a god for anything nor do I care to. You're either lucky, deliberant and persistent to thrive or you give in to sloviness and rot like something useless. Some people you can't help because they don't want to be helped. What I see here with this guy's family giving him the cold shoulder is not them hiding anything. What's going on is father has tried to change things before and it didn't work. He knows you can't change the wealth gap because all millionaires have the best lawyers and CPAs that help them get the maximum tax cuts possible. You're not going to change that because we know the law and the poorer tax payers don't. So, they pay more. Simple as that. All this knowledge adds up after years and it becomes a way of life. A whole different system running parallel to the average person's everyday life. Maybe it can be changed. Maybe we can transition from corporation business structures to cooperative business structures. That would help quite a bit. It would give workers ownership of some of the large companies they work for, get rid of all the neo-cons in government and institute mandatory personal finance classes for two semesters in high school would all be very helpful places to start. The situation is not totally hopeless. I would also like to state that America is not a christian country but we became one eventually. Christians don't write their own interpretations of the bible. I'm talking about you ex-president Thomas Jefferson! This country is one of the last bastions of the old Greek democracy. No one, be it god or man, was above being questioned then and shouldn't be above questioning now.

Dear Mr. Jamie Johnson,

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude and admiration for your extraordinary contributions to our society. Your documentary, a masterpiece titled "1%," has not only unveiled the stark realities hidden within the corridors of wealth but has also showcased the remarkable courage and determination that defines you as a hero and a national treasure.

In a world where the pursuit of truth is often overshadowed by various interests, your fearless endeavor to expose the hypocrisy and greed ingrained within the 1% is nothing short of commendable. The level of courage it took to create such a documentary is akin to the bravery displayed by warriors on the battlefield during times of war. Your commitment to shedding light on the darker aspects of society sets you apart as a beacon of integrity and moral fortitude.

As I reflect on the valuable lessons embedded in your documentary, I am reminded of the age-old adage that greed is the downfall of all mankind. Your work serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of addressing this critical issue that affects us all. Your dedication to uncovering the truth and confronting uncomfortable realities deserves not only applause but also profound respect.

In my eyes, you have not only earned every penny of your inheritance but have also enriched the collective consciousness with a powerful narrative that demands attention and reflection. Your work goes beyond the boundaries of filmmaking; it is a testament to your commitment to justice, honesty, and the well-being of our society.

As you embark on future endeavors, I extend my sincerest wishes for continued success and happiness. May your unwavering dedication to truth and justice inspire others to question, learn, and strive for a more equitable and compassionate world.

Sincerely yours,

Thomas H. Brown Jr.

You've got a heart of gold and balls of steel to make this video.

I’m distugested at this weak splineless waste of a human named Jim, I’m watching a “little boy” that has enough money to call shots that effect so many others and he can’t even put together a good train of thought throughout this documentary.

I thank everyone in this film.

Excellent film, very interesting

The 99% need to start a revolution . It shouldn’t be this unfair and unjust. It’s so wrong and disturbing watching this. More money people have the power and greed becomes them. I think it’s time the 99% take a stand.

Love this Family. If people spent more time learning from the Rich instead of moaning about the poor, they'd be more likely to become rich themselves and afford themselves the options to help others too

If the dude making this is so upset by his families money, he can donate to me! But he won't, this just a project to feed his ego and pretend like he's making a difference. Basic woke agenda taught in Universities. These rich parents should start reconsidering theirs kids "education".

There are parts missing from the original documentary. Ivanka was in it, but not in this one. Many other rich people too.

Get the hell out you north Korean all of you rich poor middle left right sure as hell never been Americans clueless about how protects freedom and Justice exactly your as as we the people you north Korean if anything put your opinion up your worm ass

You all so anti Americans freaking worm lying pretend to understand ass proclaimed lying mouth running jackasses about to know it real soon

Fools speaking saying nothing impressing others pretend to understand unknown to even self pretend to understand educated guessers deceiving self and others pretend to understand guess known to the ALL proclaimed three times over before he was born sure as hell self proclaimed people proclaimed fools speaking saying nothing impressing others pretend to understand all could proclaim and best be done

What arrogant jackass pretend to understand guess know fools speaking saying nothing impressing others pretend to understand age over real soon

Reprogramming the subconscious mind 😊

I have no problem with the wealthy unless they try to control me

Ah yes the times where people talked about money and not just race gender and vaccinations.

Repulsive vile Milton F just defending his rich *ss. This is just .0001% snippet of the corruption that the rich do to stay rich. I cant help but think this was a ruse to deflect other problems at the time. As someone pointed out there'll be a generation in the family that losses all the wealth but others are always there to take their spot.

Hurricane Katrina is such a dismal failure as a nation. 😢

So RAW documentary 😮😮

Unfortunately the ultra rich is becoming to greedy. To the point of the 1% owning everything in your life. It will lead to a revolution.

Tax the crap out of them. Then tax them some more. When done, tax the crap out of them again.

It's honestly shocking how unintellectual some of the old money generations are. Its like the lack of needing to think or problem solve has turned them into vegetables. Some, like the son, are cursed with intelligence because he is completely empathetic about the situation of his own wealth. It seems like the ones that are empathetic are constantly battling major depression.

this documentary should be re-done after the covis stuff. gap is much much bigger. humans are different

This kid showed just how emotionally-driven his arguments are when he thought he could waltz into Milton Friedman's house and challenge him on his ideas while admitting he hadn't even read his work beyond college reading assignments. That's just embarrassing. In every other scene, he ambushes people who do not debate or ponder economic theory for a living and he catches them off guard, then uses that to make them look sinister or ruthless. I sure hope this guy ends up proving he's not a hypocrite by donating his entire inheritance and raising his kids on his filmmaking income. Something tells me he hasn't and is never going to.

To argue that the Johnson & Johnson heir doesn't deserve to be fabulously wealthy, when every household in America either owns their products, or received their COVID vaccine BY CHOICE, is silly. Want to know what that's better than? It's better than the ruler of a country appointing his buddies to be the heads of specific industries, allowing them to enrich themselves by dipping their hands in the profits while forcing everyone else to wait in bread lines. There is no economic system that can produce the type of wealth equality this naive little boy is espousing.

Greedy with no souls

Dr. Michael Hudson. Friedman was a. *#*&^T%#*&&%&%$*@^&*#

Sorry to say i was pissed that i did not push for a better share of the wealth that. i created for, . . . . The 1%
So now i am discussed that the 1%. MAKE us all more un equal. They own all the marbles and make all the rules.
A second French Revolution is coming. (BAU World 3 model speeds the end of GROWTH). See Nate Hagen.

Rich people will buy more assets like houses & factories that dough will flow down to thousands of people who have worked to create the assets.

They aren’t even the 1% more like the 1 promille. They are so few and own so much it’s unimaginable. When they speak of kindness and love it’s love and kindness for those with their dna. They don’t fight unions because they love people. They don’t fight to keep their taxes low and the minimum wage even lower out of kindness.

I’ve met a lot of people my age that became so much better off then me. When I was young I used to think that intelligence was the only thing I needed to be wealthy.

Then as I got older I started to notice a lot of dumb arrogant people do way better than me. That’s when it finally hit. Your parents and social connections determine a whole lot about your future. I still haven’t accepted defeat. It will just take me way longer to get to where they are because my parents gave me nothing.

One of the most important documentaries of our time. I feel the need to highlight the ideology of wealthy Christians who believe that their money is a boon from God. If your God purposely grants extravagant luxury to a few while the many starve in abject poverty....your God is evil.
