I Want Your Money

The film “I Want Your Money” highlights the stark contrast between two interpretations of the American dream. One perspective emphasizes personal financial autonomy, where individuals believe they should control the money they earn. The other perspective trusts that a select group in Washington is better suited to manage and distribute wealth. The first viewpoint celebrates the classic American dream, which has been realized countless times by generations striving to improve their circumstances and pursue ambitious goals. In contrast, the second viewpoint suggests that the government can endlessly expand its list of programs by redistributing wealth, supposedly for the greater good. This documentary reveals the significant costs in terms of lost freedom and opportunities that come with supporting an ever-expanding bureaucratic state.
