Park Avenue: Money, Power and the American Dream⎜WHY POVERTY?⎜(Documentary)

I was born and raised in the south Bronx and this is so true . The American dream was not equal for everyone this documentary breaks it down. It 2024 and the economy is worst

Lobby activity is more like traffic of influence which is a felony in my country

Everyone have same opportunities u can own your business or get high education and invest n your future

The music in the beginning is a bit too loud for the guy talking

These rich fucks truly are psychopaths. These phone conversations with Koch about the unions made me sick

Free economy means no bailouts for corporations? Right?

Typical Marxist Propaganda

K.right because I really need that is beautiful

You are good but ishould encourage you to keep you the money because the corruption is the enemy of the human life so beautiful that problem second review economic growth that is beautiful

The US is a land of opportunists, specullators and heartless thieves that explotte the poor working that have no chance in life! No education, no health care, no houses, no families! Nothing! The US system is like cancer that spreads in the EU but we did not vote for this! Pay your bloody taxes!

"We must make our choice.We may have democracy, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." Louis Brandeis

This is your typical left-wing propaganda. Anti-capitalism. So stupid. Nobody is saying that the poor don't pay any taxes at all, but they don't pay any income tax on the federal level. But they should. Everybody should benefit and everybody should also pay.

Is this Biden speaking this?

On another note:

I go out poor. So I work 4 jobs. I decide to use a portion of my earnings to get a van. I set that van up as best as I can to live in it. I get supplies and can goods, etc to eat as well and as healthy as I can. However, I know about bathroom issues at night or daytime, so I get a gym plan for showers and restroom use.

I save $2500 and put it in an earnings account, but Im not getting earnings that double, triple, triple again, quaduple that and so on.

I pursue promotions and get two that work around my achedule, but the third is denied and the fourth offers 4X what all three offer, but I would need to work 75 hours a week on salary and cant work another job.

So in the long run, I lose more.

I seek to get my savings into a higher earnings account, but when I do, the bank doesnt surrender my earnings on time,.

Any bills I set up, they set it up to make it appear to have been paid, but for weeks they keep my payments in the pending state.

Somewhere in my efforts to manage my money, they hold hundreds until a bill appears and charges me, then there is a few other purchases and each one creates an NSF.

$380 gone.

And thats just the beginning.

Citizens United is at the core. Must be abolished asap

Substantial % of the rich are psychopaths/ per study

You had me until you started dragging Ann Randy’s name through the mud .
I sincerely believe that this content is Communist Propaganda.

Money is destructive. Therefore, those that thirst for dollars lose their sense... a deficit, a mental health crisis. Love is the only Profit and in design we all are Devinely kept. It is the only way we can all be rich. Love is Royal.

The documentary shows that Chuck Schumer is the senator of Wall Street, and is preventing tax reform which benefits the super rich, but then the documentary makers have to mollify their audience and claim that it's just Republicans who are the problem.

It’s very simple. The rich bought Congress.

They really should've done a better job of hiding this doorman's face. I'm sure someone recognizes him from that jawline alone.

4774!🦋♟️

If you hate rich people instead of trying to copy or learn the game is the reason people stay broke

The fact they think MONOPOLY is like life 😂 we just roll dice and that's what it is

Poisoning the food. Destroying morals and values. Giving kids and seniors every horrible medication they can create. Putting covid viruses out into society on purpose. The current American situation has been planned in detail.

america's fucked, its looking pretty close to civil collapse, I give it 20 more years

I hear this phrase "I think the problem is the decline of unions." It's like saying a guy died on my doorstep, instead of saying someone shot him.

Republicans gained enough power during an overreaction by people to Civil Rights voting for to pass laws that made it possible to move away whole factories. The unions live in those giant factories. Unions were purposely destroyed. Add the fact so much effort has been pointed at teachers, postal, and various other unions that they can't move the work out from under, it's hard to imagine.

And in 1987, Reagan disabled media fairness by getting rid of the Fairness Doctrine, which would at least require them to cover both sides of Reagan's argument. Since then, the media has been a useful tool to completely brainwash people against labor, and for corporations, against social constructs, and for individuals. It's all been very purposeful, the driving down of workers like a railroad spike, into a cross tie.

I think it is important to always look out for yourself and don’t end up working in the bottom of industries too long. Work hard and demand hard for each and every one of us!

So then let's just make our own system. Nothing is set in stone. It's all software.

Jesus is Lord! Be of this world, but not in it. Some of the wealthy are at a real disadvantage, as wealth can equal great power and power can corrupt greatly, The temptations many of the wealthy face can be hard to overcome, if they don't have high moral standards. Not all wealthy are bad and wealth in itself is not bad. It is also true that there is much injustice in this world. This world will pass in a relative flash. Appreciate whatever blessings you have now and remember eternity is forever. Where you spend eternity is of the highest value.

pour éliminer la pauvreté; éliminez les pauvres

Ayn Rand = Aryan

I really hate when these politicians and wealthy talking about Regulations and the need to create jobs creating jobs that dont pay enough to live

PBS has some good information, but to be against Republicans is where they are wrong.
Democrats are at a minimum 10 times worse than whatever Republicans do.
Demoncrats aka... Communists are destroying America.

I worked for a very rich company. My job stated that I must own a car. I lived in a cheep apartment with neighbours on welfare. I bought a used small car, I had $1.00 per day for food. Publish the wage of their lowest wage employee.

The Republican Party is the BIGGEST TERRORIST GROUP IN THE WORLD. They have all but destroyed the world economy starting with Nixon's attack on the Gold Standard which allowed him to set up the biggest ponzi scheme in the world and force nations to buy only American dollars. This was the start of the financial downfall we are all facing to. The Republicans will not be happy until they have destroyed the United States and the financial well-being of the world. The USA is no longer considered a Super=Power, if anything they have become a joke thanks to Trump, the top one percent, and the REPUBLICANS. I am enjoying watching them destroy their country bit by bit, and will throw the biggest party ever seen when that destruction is complete.

Why poverty and the american dream? Because its a pyramid scheme and always had been. it requires a mass of people to work and the lie that anyone can make it to the top. If people didnt have this crab in the bucket mindset we could havd a better system. It wont come easily mind you as we dont really live in a democracy. As George carlin said. We only have the illusion of choice.

Incredible, wow, I am glad/happy I am watching this.

what a f***ed up country is US

and the crazy thing wait for it is that these people are willing to decrease their paycheck and pay more in the cost of goods and bills...
it's crazy.

Of course, most people in the Bronx have no education, and who’s choice was that, just follow the thread, and you will find the answer.

This is factually wrong, if it were true, the rich of 100/200 years ago would have all the money today, and they certainly do not. Music artists, athletes, movie stars are only some examples.

The more money you have the worse human being you are.
Thats the lesson I've learned.

God ist GAY 😂😂😂

Switzerland is much more unequal than Cuba, Venezuela, and Somalia. You tell me!
