un-american to say that i think about it this way just go with me for a second here you know that scene from the oliver stone film wall street when gordon gekko played by michael douglas in a role that would win him an oscar appears at a shareholders meeting of a company paper to defend his actions and his grotesque worldview and delivers the now famous speech where he says. for lack of better word is good. we didn't write great works. greek their eyes. can. see evolution. and. in my eyes. will not only stay healthy. but that other malfunctioning upgrade of the. body and says flipped out they cheered everybody in the eighties wanted to. the gordon gekko but the thing is this oliver stone wrote it as

a piece of satire nobody got it just the opposite all over stone was trying to send up the excesses of the reagan era michael douglas's portrayal helped inspire a whole generation of slicked back hair doos in double breasted suits adopting the greed is good ethos and pursuing the american dream as it had come to be defined now delivers obscene wealth for a very few well raining poverty and misery down on many and serving as a homicidal force for others because people do in fact die for lack of access to health care in the richest country in the world that's the us of a human consumption is in fact accelerating the instruction of our planet people do in fact die in wars waged based on lies that profit the precious view over five million children globally each year do not reach their fifth birthday because they die of starvation all of this is not because the system that puts man on the moon or can

squeeze an entire library onto a computer chip the size of a thumbnail has failed to find a way to solve these problems rather our system without apology places corporate greed. and greed take back the popular phrase is not good now the question many within the occupy movement are trying to solve is this one what would look like that had a culture and an economic system that places human need above corporate greed and how do we bring that world into being who cares what it is called call it socialism call it real democracy now call it chunky monkey cherry garcia the world needs to change radically needs to change dramatically and it needs to change fast this documentary is an invitation for you to participate in that positive change frankly because we need to yes.

it's console bad well it's a very well to buy but makes it a problem if you just saw all the money in one place to. get that so i got you is going to money is going to get for people that have the will. be fifty four million you have six you want to hear. the wealth of three percent of american families you know one percent of the wealth of ninety five percent of americans so now that we've identified the problem broadly speaking what do you think the solution is raise your hand if you think the way our representative democracy currently functions bought and sold as it is by wall street and super pacs offers a bright ray of hope forward for anyone to the very same power anyone politicians

know if they spout spend their competitor they're going to when they win the election ninety four percent of the time. so. they have no fear of the american people they fear the people who are going to fund their campaigns right so that means that you know me and just about everyone we know has very little say over who represents us and little to no influence over them once they get into office for a process is rigged to throw an enormous amount of money behind candidates in the two major parties and consequently choosing the lesser of two evils is something americans have done with a fatalistic shrug of the shoulders for far too long to say the u.s. government currently functions of foreign by the people would be a funny joke if the joke were not on you mean almost everyone we know imagine a world in which your single voice carried as much weight as the c.e.o. of goldman sachs and you're starting to imagine the world that the occupy movement is trying to bring into being we know always going to greet us not. even if we go

be like a duke ellington just. everybody got the only thing we need to do just not to conduct but he just don't put so much. junk in the clutches yes that's democracy in action at the local level experiencing the horizontal community and culture and organization. was so radicalizing for two point continues to be surrounded by because it draws such a stark contrast against what they're fighting and actually in their minds clarifies what they're up against more than somebody. more than it would be clarified if somebody got up and tried to clarify it for thanks to occupy wall street there's a lot of new ways of organizing which is not just calling people to participate in something you came up with but giving people the opportunity to create for yourself and to be part of their in

a regional brainstorming about what to do so that they feel empowered in this moment and it's also i think. finally put the kybosh on let's organize a rally on a saturday in washington d.c. when everything is closed and people come from around the country and spend a lot of money to walk around in a circle and come home. i think. what . people might think it was by a certain degree much. i guess what you say. no longer represents the people and the people are going to take care.

thank. you thank you.

thank you. for. i. five thirty in the morning was a comedy on most mornings early in the occupy wall street movement there would only be about fifty to maybe two hundred or so occupying the space but at five thirty in the morning on the morning of october fourteenth two thousand and eleven several thousand people were gathered there wide awake. because mayor mike bloomberg had declared that his own personal army his words the n.y.p.d. constituting the seventh largest army in the world would have victor occupy wall street and these thousands were there not just in solidarity they were there armed with an idea some cardboard signs in an urgency to protect it and many of them were

prepared to go to jail trying to fill the space i had already gone to jail once since all of this started as an organizer with the october two thousand and eleven coalition i had been in washington d.c. in the early days of the movement and you can see me here after suggesting repeatedly i had met inside the hart senate office building that we find other uses for the money we lavish on our homicidal bull geo political china shop and the foreign policy i was given to do not pass go go directly to jail card and in a few days i would be arrested again this time for protesting corporate personhood on the steps of the supreme court. that it would occupy movement all around the world because we love. working people and. that jane joined us from the grave that we have a pledge that if. occupy d.c. occupy wall street occupy the supreme court it's not everywhere in my willingness

to go to jail for the movement though i was hardly unique and with the thousands that were in zuccotti on the morning of october fourteenth it seemed that you're about to eclipse the previous one day record total of seven hundred protesters arrested on the brooklyn bridge what was it that brought all of those people to use a comedy that it may. not be a revolution in the traditional sense but this is a revolution of the light. pollution and it's not going to be stuff like holy spirit gets into prespective please it. looks like i'm claiming the you deliberately kill. in the first six months of the movie about seven thousand people have been arrested in occupy related protests were they why all the fuss. and why in the predawn hours on that friday in october were so many prepared to go to jail.

i thought. we were supposed to get cleaned out of the park we swept the show park and then we took brooms and we took them to the to wall street to co clean up wall street i think most of the problems with the filth was in the offices so we can get to it but we did a little victory lap and the police brutalized the suppressive people like you know they do that we have done that for trying to twenty five years in this country during that years non violent confrontations with the police whether they be in asserting one's first amendment rights to assemble uncommented spontaneous marches in the streets can be incredibly empowering movement building experience an antidote to the years of disempowering and williams free speech zones when it comes to be the mayor and yet civil resistance is but one part one tactic of the movement if you only saw the early stages of the occupy movement through the lens of the mainstream media you might think the movement was solely about clashes with the

police. yes offers an air show and an emission museum was a matter you. most of the residents never

profit from the performance you'll see of coming on a signature trip there when you look up and there's one check in on you he's an alpha beta gamma he has all the the fine now trying to treat his leg that way out there know what's going on and they can pinpoint. the dirt right now. does shells become income mortal danger and a piece of art. is exempt expected. from some pretty. old bombs and. on our team.

and i can assure you i want to. be like this when i get. there you are in a hurry and only civilians to get exactly what you see if i was your children i thought there'd be people. people that had nothing to do if anything. there's no. law that everybody has served in iraq afghanistan like to look him up like you know back. in afghanistan my mother didn't get our back. come home i'm a new york city my opinion your city and. there's no reason for it there's no british no honor and a lot of civilians. was. this

is. a few. lines it. doesn't say i get it slays. police cruiser ok let's just be honest here for a moment for some people this is and justifiably so a battle about a police state since one nine hundred eighty the number of people in prison per capita in the united states has more than tripled we now in prison a greater percentage of our population than any other country in the world in fact the united states is only five percent of the world population has twenty five percent of the world's prison population in the us one in every one hundred six white males aged eighteen or over is incarcerated for hispanic males that number is

one in thirty six and one in fifteen black males over eighteen is currently in jail . between one thousand nine hundred seven and two thousand and seven state spending on incarceration related expenses increased one hundred twenty seven percent while spending on higher education during that same period rose a mere twenty percent is it that much more profitable to jail or population than it is to educate and. i think that's a great dreams and then their head lock arms now you know why take me to tell you that i continue to do this i rather go to jail you know watch you continue to put my brother and my sister my mom going about he also looks like me and i rest and think it should be a scary thing not just for those who own you know people of color minority can but out of us know that we have to live in a society like that. ok so depending on your geographic location your everyday reality may reflect the police state we live in two larger or smaller degrees but at least you have your health right at least you have your home.

already made every time there are various issues like that which are so far as your question or mother. of every two thousand one are low profit no matter what. kind of. action taking place right. in front of my camera all right. thank you you're welcome pal sometimes demanding change on a large scale has to start with small groups of individuals saying enough is enough like this group of individuals and western massachusetts who gather in an attempt to stop the bank of america from executing yet another foreclosure auction is really doing nothing since i've said five back to. a lack of government regulations gave banks enough rope to operate like cowboys in the wild west and they responded by lassoing homeowners with these predatory lending practices when the housing bubble burst bank of america got bailed out and those with underwater

mortgages were sold out so that c.e.o.'s like brian moynihan could collect the year end bonus of over nine million dollars a week lou with that they have enough money to pay for a reasonable war gauge at today's values so this is something that all of fluster can stand behind we believe that when folks have you know a home that they should be able to stay in that home and it's not like they're not willing to pay this is the weirdest movement i've ever worked in this way and the foreclosure movement because we are begging people to take money and they won't take it of course occupy hardly invented foreclosure defenses people like grace and i foreclosure organizations have been toiling away at this for years but when occupy wall street went to east new york in december to march occupy are more and more people around the country started to realize that there was another way to back off. was. that back. then i think you got that

right i think and sometimes demanding change in a large scale starts with even smaller groups dr margaret flowers is among the nation's leading advocates for true health care reform health care reform that would eliminate the for profit insurance companies and provide medicare for all individuals in the united states a former pediatrician and congressional fellow dr flowers worked within the system for years after the farm passed i was traveling around the country and people kept saying well how are we going to get single payer i was speaking around you know various states and and i stole a kind of came together like oh well unless you know as a as a movement even though we're in the majority of the population wants a single payer system we're not going to be strong enough as a single issue. kind of movement to have that kind of political power and health care is really part of a broader social economic justice movement anyway and so we really need to come together bring our strengths together combine our strengths to have the power and so i know this in my talks i was starting to shift more into you know calling for

a broader movement as a core organizer of the october two thousand and eleven coalition that occupied freedom plaza in washington d.c. dr flowers thought fit to attend as an uninvited guest a wall street comes to washington health care conference i crashed the party with her i dove it wouldn't let my big camera and so i had to shoot the video this impromptu meeting with the real death panels on myself was it how can we need a national health care i didn't ask that simple. fact is because they can't provide was. was. fine so you're going to have a snow cave or you are right. actually it.

was if you. put your listing and joined protesters picketing outside where a dare risk wrote shared her story of why health care was literally a life and death issue i came here because. for my father part of it so i did suicide get shot so it had every state. but because her life partner did have enough money to pay for health care just take care of it and didn't want to ask because my sister and myself were fifty four years old this is the most considerate suicide that i've ever heard of and he had to put sticky notes on everything he had borrowed from everybody saying you know we turned this post this person and cetera et cetera everything that could have possibly been done to get it not what i want my passport shot down said please tell me where my heart my dollars from i have to

find. that it was he says i'm sure you understand this is something i have seen you get hold of you know without question is simply not. that's why i'm here on this forum can you have heard people like every person that died for lack of access to health care somethings father or son or daughter thank you take a stand up not only for my father but for all those like. you have. it is. in a i. think a public a thank you think even though my mortgage is underwater and my health care costs are going through this here is america i'll just pull myself up by the bootstraps and get to work nose to the grindstone will solve all ills but be careful out there if you haven't noticed there is

a war on workers well underway between one thousand nine hundred and two thousand and eight the average income of the bottom ninety percent remained effectively unchanged at thirty one thousand dollars per year in that same time span the average income of the top one percent went from four hundred thousand dollars to over one point one million dollars per year so much for trickle down economics in one thousand nine hundred a c.e.o. made forty two times that of an average employee by two thousand and ten c. those were earning three hundred forty three times the workers median wage and while the rich got richer they were paying less and less taxes in one nine hundred forty five millionaires get a tax rate of sixty six percent in two thousand and ten millionaires effective tax rate was thirty two percent your corporation things look even better bank of america holds over two point two trillion in assets and pays less in taxes than the

average american household in two thousand and ten g.b. reported five point two billion dollars in profit and was awarded a tax refund three point two billion dollars citi group has not paid taxes in the last four years and yet in the wake of the financial crisis they are deemed too big to fail and received four hundred seventy six billion dollars in taxpayer bailout money and goldman sachs has spent twenty two million dollars in campaign contributions and twenty one million dollars in lobby. efforts in the past decade and in two thousand and eight paid taxes at a rate of waiting for it. one per cent that it was. thank you thank you thank you was you was if you mess up the time it was immaculate to me like

you. think i was sick of the was i was a yes q but one could send out if you want but that is the big the twenty five years of the nothing but greed. we've been working to. clean to keep people in this club that they think we could put up with to have been done at night when the lesson i was going to take would be was cut to thank ye thank you i was in two thousand two
