I got confused when the captions did not match up with the vocals.
was the caption writer implying that Michelle Obama is responsible for the childrens game of "tag" being outlawed on schoolyards?
their list of corrupt Congressmen excluded Trent Lott, Newt Gingrich, Tom Delay, that senator from Alaska, the guys who voted for CAFTA late one night....
it was real clever for them to write a caption about Obama letting the Bush tax cuts expire when the guy sang about taxes. when he made this movies, were progressive income taxes somewhere between 70 and 90 percent? If I were the democrats in 2001, i would have passed a bill to end the Bush tax cuts immediately!

Don't forget about Ohio's own Robert W. Ney.

He's speaking about chewing gum when the crawl about Michelle appears. The implication is that gum is unhealthy and this she will eventually wish to regulate it.

Because America has a history of presidential wives legislating from their side of the bed?
I think America has a longer history of the corn and sugar lobbyists paying off both sides to
keep their killer crops legal and heavily subsidized.
FWIW

Sigh. There are no killer crops, unless you're a lepidopteran pest, then yes, biotech Bt crops can kill using a secreted Bt protein, the same one organic farmers use.
You should have "keeping crops legal" and "subsidized crops" in separate buckets. Farmers do appreciate subsidies and the Farm Bureau fights for that, since farmers do vote and all. Monsanto et. al. have their own people, I am sure, talking to folks in DC about biotech crops. And, especially in this administration, the opposition have a voice every bit as powerful.
PS ... I've seen every documentary on both sides, it's my job.

Economic 'Growth' was much higher in the 1950s. progressive taxes were much higher. union membership was much higher. corporate taxes were much higher. and Trade(imports and exports) as a percentage of GDP was much lower.
As progressive taxes and union membership have fallen, economic "growth" has also fallen. As Trade has risen, Growth has "fallen". we're just running on inertia to create the occasional billionaire and float more cable tv channels.
It would not be a surprise if most modern economic "growth", as such things are measured, hinges on rising medical costs, education costs, and prison and policing costs. You export a factory to save consumers 10 percent on products that become obsolete or garbage soon enough....society ends up spending much more on "education", cops, prisons, waste disposal, and subsidies for "industries of the future in the global economy". Juarez Mexico is the future. the laborers barracks of saudi arabia are the future: the freest movements of labor, capital, and goods with the smallest government!
