We’re Not Broke

The documentary is about how corporations in the United States avoid paying tax. Its case is that the government has allowed this; that assessment is the work’s own. The account dwells less on illegal evasion than on the use of gaps in the law. The discontent growing in the same period is part of the subject. The film follows how that discontent turned into a movement. The gap between corporate profit and the public budget is the real subject. The work was made by Karin Hayes and Victoria Bruce together. Carl Levin is among those who speak. The account looks less at the figures than at what those figures cost, and to whom. The eighty minute American documentary was completed in 2012.
