James Jaeger's film argues that American government and corporate power have merged into something its interviewees are willing to call fascism, not the free-market capitalism most people assume runs the country. Ron Paul, Pat Buchanan, G. Edward Griffin, Edwin Vieira, and Ted Baehr appear on camera making the case that endless Federal Reserve credit fueled the mergers that built today's multinational corporations, giving them the money to buy influence in Congress through lobbying rather than compete in an open market. NAFTA and GATT come up repeatedly as evidence: trade laws the film says were written to move manufacturing overseas and hollow out the middle class while benefiting the corporations that lobbied for them. The film also pushes on corporate personhood, asking whether a legal fiction built for liability purposes should carry the political rights of an actual citizen, especially when the entity in question operates across borders and owes loyalty to none. Its proposed fix is not lobbying reform but shrinking government's power to hand out favors in the first place, removing the incentive to lobby at all.
