"Hard Times" and "When Mitt Romney Came to Town"

Anybody who has watched "When Mitt Romney Came to Town" may be interested in the award winning documentary "Hard Times: Lost on Long Island."  As more and more people, including Republicans, begin to question "What happened to the Middle Class?" and begin to wonder whether the unregulated "vulture" capitalism represented by Bain Capital has revitalized or help destroy our industries, jobs and middle class, they may also be ready to be reminded and re-sensitized to the real human fallout of this "Great Recession."


It is critical to empathize and help empower those who have been victimized, by no fault of their own, by the failed "trickle down economics" of the last 30 years.  It is also time to reclaim "free enterprise," for the 99% of Americans who have been left behind by Romney, Bain, Wall St., Washington DC and their fellow 1%er's.  This is not about dividing American's or redistributing the wealth (get that Rick Santorum.)  The facts are in - for the last 30 years the wealth has been redistributed - mostly to the top 1%.  If the 99% of Americans who have been struggling to keep up act in unison across the political spectrum, it will be the most united the citizens of this great country have been in years.  To do that we have to put a human face on the consequences of this predatory, corrupt, crony brand of capitalism.  That is what the short film "King of Bain" tries to do and it is what the documentary "Hard Times: Lost on Long Island"
does in a very compelling fashion.
