a movie i'd like to see:

[unblock]

i'd like to see a movie where the 1% really gets the treatment the rest of us get.

i'd like to see a rent-a-cop follow around a ceo throughout the day as if he might pilfer office supplies like a shoplifter.

i'd like to see a senior executive get pepper-sprayed for standing in one place on the sidewalk too long.

i'd like to see a hedge fund manager get his face slammed up against the wall by a cop saying they've had reports of suspicious people in the neighborhood.

i'd like to see a lawyer declining to represent a ceo on the grounds that he doesn't want his reputation sullied by association with such filth. i'd like to see the jury find him guilty because he just LOOKS shifty.

i'd like to see companies begging for permission from poor people because congress passed a law requiring corporations to have a majority of their directors on the board be below the poverty line.

i'd like to see lobbyists go to jail for even discussing legislation in the same 12 months as organizing any campaign contribution.

i'd like to see congresscritters removed from office for ethics violation any time they accept a campaign contribution from a corporation or anyone other than an individual residing in the district/state they represent.

i'd like to see corporations hang their heads in collective shame at any report of profits in excess of 8%, and to return such excess profits to customers with a great apology.





ok, so fictional it's outright fantasy.
but it's my fantasy, and i'm entitled.

i am the 99%.

4. K&R

This movie is about a shallow man who works at Wall Street whose life changes dramatically.
It's a good lesson in what life and true happiness is all about.
