Review of We’re Not Broke (2012) by Adam C — 21 Jan 2013

What I love about this documentary is that it raises some great questions about corporate tax loopholes such as sending profits overseas that I believe need to reformed. These are problems that the media rarely discusses and that congress refuses to address due to lobbying on both sides of the aisle.

Despite the numerous left-wing pundits in this film, it is very bi-partisan as it calls out both conservatives and liberals who are in the back pocket of these corporations. Where I differ with film is in regards to effects of this irresponsible behavior.

The film makes accusations that social services, teacher's jobs, and fire departments among other things suffer due to lack of federal tax revenue. Some of these statements may be somewhat true, others are simply false.

I'd encourage anyone who is not informed of these corporate tax loopholes to watch this film. Be warned, you will be very angry at congress once you finish it, but that's probably nothing new for most of us.
