CPrice9720 As a registered Dem I watched this movie with an open mind. Having grown up in the 80's and seen my SS cut when I turned 18, because of Reagan's tax cuts. I also did not get my college payed for by the government after the Reagan tax cuts. So I was not a fan of Reagan. But after I had gone to college, getting my AS degree and going to work, I discovered how much I pay in taxes and how little I get back. I don't feel it's right that I work hard to make more money and I'm taxed even more. So I do think the government is way to big and should be reduced in size by a lot. People should not want the government to do everything for us. I won't be voting for Obama this time. It's time to stop expanding the government.

Right-Wing-Man Most of the ratings here are negative, but hey, what can you do? All of the major news media are Liberal, with the exception of Fox and a few select radio shows that are still on the air waves.Socialism sucks and it doesn't work, it's been proved time and time again. This movie was made simple so the Lefties can even understand it. It illustrates the fundamental differences between the two sides. Hopefully, at some point President Hussein will stop pointing the finger at Bush and start taking responsibility for his own actions. It's comical really... what is our major problem... THE ECONOMY. What does President Hussein do? Virtually nothing except force feed us a healthcare system, so he can stamp his name on it. What a waste of time.All of our current problems started with Jimmy Carter, and then Clinton and Bush. Now we have Carter Jr./Obama. What a lying joker this guy is.Great show, and I appreciate the director of this gem. Thank you.

J.C. Hendee Much has already been said by other viewers that I need not repeat. This is a pointless waist of film, because the only viewers it will convince are the ones who already agree with the viewpoint before even watching it. But there's one additional factor that should be an obvious sign to anyone considering this film...Look at the so-called external "reviews"; It's amazing what garbage ends up on IMDb. I can only assume those critics (NOT) have their own agenda in hyping this piece of tripe. I know thoughtful and intelligent republicans who are my neighbors and friends. Nothing from them is in this film or those pandering reviews.

dan_c99 This was a thoughtful look back at the last 80 years, providing enough info along with entertainment value that kept the kids interested without being heavy handed. I enjoyed animated parts, but more so the interviews with various politicians, economists, and businessmen who succinctly made their points in measured manner. My favorite part was Milton Friedman "schooling" a slack-jawed Phil Donahue about how everyone operates out of self-interest or what he called "greed". Phil didn't seem to have an answer when asked to produce the self-less communist or socialist state that operated out of benevolence.Anyone who began to pay attention to what politicians said and what their policies brought about would vote for Reagan. I saw us go from a national "malaise" under Carter the weakling into a nation that once again felt pride, hope and self-sufficiency. Reagan brought us back to Amercian Exceptionalism, small government, low taxes, strong national defense.We can see what happens to whole generations who have been cocooned in the modern welfare state, expecting to be taken care of and never even attempting to stand on their own. While progressives believe they are more compassionate in that they want to take care of these people, few recognize the truth. They are told that not only should they be taken care of but that it is unreasonable of anyone to expect them to be self-sufficient. These people made more and more unableof taking care of themselves, and the children who grow up in these homes grow up without any concept of any other way of life.So, do we wish to hand over all of our decisions, our monies and our choices to a handful of "elites" who will create a Master Plan for us all or shall we get back to the messy business of running our own lives, preferably with less and less federal involvement?
