Heist: Who Stole the American Dream? (2012)

Heist: Who Stole the American Dream? uncovers the calculated stratagem by which American corporations systematically dismantled the middle-class stronghold. Through a relentless onslaught of deregulation, the strategic migration of jobs overseas, and tax policies skewed in favor of businesses and the affluent, the prosperity of the average American was gradually eroded. The ensuing economic devastation was not a random crisis, but the inevitable fallout from strategic decisions made over a span of three and a half decades by a powerful coterie comprising corporate leaders, political confederates, and the formidable lobbying force of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. To this influential syndicate, the economic downfall isn't a disaster, but instead, the meticulously planned climax of their long-term agenda. For the rest of America, it represents nothing less than the most audacious heist in the nation's history.

Heist: Who Stole the American Dream? is a documentary movie featuring Bernie Sanders and directed by Donald Goldmacher.
