About this movie

America is in the grip of a societal economic panic. Lawmakers cry 'We're Broke!' as they slash budgets, lay off schoolteachers, police, and firefighters, crumbling our country's social fabric and leaving many Americans scrambling to survive. Meanwhile, multibillion-dollar American corporations like Exxon, Google and Bank of America are making record profits. And while the deficit climbs and the cuts go deeper, these corporationsówith intimate ties to our political leadersóare concealing colossal profits overseas to avoid paying U.S. income tax. We're Not Broke is the story of how U.S. corporations have been able to hide over a trillion dollars from Uncle Sam, and how seven fed-up Americans from across the country, take their frustration to the streets...and vow to make the corporations pay their fair share.

Ratings and reviews

Pay YOUR taxes! Otherwise, the system will go bankrupt. These companies won't bail the government out as they did for the companies. In the form of tax break, subsidies, and various other forms or relief.

It demonizes capitalism. It is nothing but collectivist rhetoric.

It made me become a supporter for the 99, and join the movement!
