John Anderson Variety A well-researched, brightly presented and provocative argument that the U.S. isn't overtaxed and profligate, but rather a paradise for corporate tax cheats. Feb 6, 2012 Full Review B. Ruby Rich Film Quarterly The history is shocking, the data stunning. Feb 28, 2020 Full Review John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) A documentary about what one lawyer calls 'non-taxation through extraordinary representation.' The movie might make you angry, and if it does, it's succeeded. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 16, 2012 Full Review Prairie Miller WBAI Radio Most engaging when breaking out of peeved talking heads mode that delves into One Percent tax dodgers bankrupting the nation, to switch gears into what some activists are trying to do about it.

Audience Member There is no limit to corporate greed. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting film that shows well researched facts to support the danger in corporate greed. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member If by watching this documentary, you were expecting some evidence that the United Sates is 'Not Broke', you will be sorely disappointed. The documentary claims closing tax loopholes can bring in $70 Billion in revenue per year. Nowhere is this paltry increase in revenue compared against the massive structural liabilities that United States faces. U.S. treasury debt is ~$17,300 Billion U.S. unfunded liabilities are ~$125,415 Billion. Every U.S. person (man, woman, and child) owes about $400,000 each. The United States has a spending problem - not a revenue problem. 1 star for accurate reporting of corporate tax loopholes. The rest is drivel, untruths, and unsubstantiated claims. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review tim d it got to the point right at the start... then it just didn't go anywhere else. I wanted to be really into this but there were just too many scenes with half arsed protests, it's not going to change the world! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member We need the political will to change the tax laws to close the loopholes for corporations. Will that happen? It's not clear. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Corporate fiscal irresponsibility and good ol' greed bilking the system so that you and I pay more taxes than large multinational corporations. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
