I Want Your Money(2010)

The film contrasts two views of role that the federal government should play in our daily lives using the words and actions of Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama.

I Want Your Money is a documentary that examines two competing visions of the American dream. The film contrasts a philosophy of individual economic freedom—where citizens control their own earnings and pursue personal ambition—against a model of centralized government management of wealth through expanded social programs. Director Ray Griggs argues that the expansion of federal bureaucracy comes at a significant cost to personal liberty and economic opportunity. Through interviews and analysis, the film presents a critique of government spending and taxation policies, exploring how different approaches to wealth distribution shape American society. The documentary appeals to viewers interested in political economy and debates over the role of government in citizens' lives.
