Must See Video - America: Freedom to Fascism

We just watched a chilling documentary from NetFlix, America: Freedom to Fascism by Aaron Russo. It begins with an investigation into the controversial or supposed legislation that requires all American citizens to pay income tax on earned income. This may be the beginning, but is the least important part of the video. It begins a little slowly and may dwell a little too long on this topic, but I suspect this was one of the considerations in trying to market the video to those who may be interested in not paying taxes. Maybe their reasoning was that only if people think they are getting ripped and want to know about that, then the movie can go on to explore and explain many other topics that they would not even think to question.

The meat of the documentary is its thorough investigation of the Federal Reserve and the revelatory interviews with former IRS Commissioner, tax attorneys, IRS and FBI agents and many authors. If you often wonder about all the freedoms we have lost since the founding of our country, this video shows how and why the American people were not included in the loop of making laws and decisions that allowed this to happen.

If I could recommend any documentary to be seen by every citizen, this would be the most urgent. It is time we citizens became aware of why and how our government works against us and not for us.

Note: Aaron Russo just lost his life to cancer a year ago.

Note added October 23, 2008: I removed a link above to a group that appeared to be a part of this organization. However, I now have my doubts about their goals and their intentions. Please watch the movie and make judgements based on that, but be careful of associated groups who use this movie for their own agenda.
