This film is really for anyone who is familiar with the origins of Corporate Personhood, the F.E.D. and Social Security. It is these people who will see the irony in this video. I mean just look at the machines that are organizing all the "social security" information on us!

Warner news Service cashes in on producing or rather promoting BIG GUVMINT Socialism. The "Economic Security Act" of 1935 was a big "New Deal" at the time. Funny that the word "security" remains in the newer term from 1952 called "Social Security". Of course the film doesn't talk about a single individual with no beneficiaries paying into the "Social Security" system for years, and then sudden death do to maybe an auto accident, getting NOTHING out of this Socialist scheme.
