But this film is nothing other than sensationalist, out-of-context one-liners that do little to advance a rational debate.

I say:
I disagree. These are things not viewed by the American public at large, most of whom think their government is operating in a "legal" enviroment referring to the Constitution.
I took five pages of complete, and detailed notes from this film, with many more points of intrest that were disclosed that I have already documented so I didn't need the notes on those items.
Most Americans are "ignorant" on the subject, many of them NOT for lack of effort, as Russo proves with great effort still very little is accomplished.
The point of the film is to advance to most Americans the IDEA that their government is not being honest, provably, verifiably lying to them, and encouraging them to take action at the grass roots level.
It is the job of citizens, and grass roots organizations to pull these people together into one coherant voice, and unify them into a national movement towards liberty and constitutional law in this nation once again.
I am trying to do my part everyday, and I would like to ask that others who value liberty and individual choice, to help me by doing the same.
Russo, by me, is greatly respected for his unquestionable effort at a loss, of time and money. What more can we ask people to do as individuals, other than take a small loss of time and money to further the cause of liberty for ALL men, equally? How much money have each one reading this donated, or put forth in time, effort and labor to advance that cause?
I think we all need to start asking ourselves those questions, and questioning our true values as individuals.

It happens that the Wikipedia entry concurs with what is widely known about this issue:

I say:
I don't dispute that, but I think you can clearly see a slant in the wikipedia article, and the wikipedia article can't match the credibility of the list of people questioned on this issue by Russo in his film, and surrounding investigation by the We The People foundation, the Tax Honesty Movement, etc.
I don't see Wikipedia filing a petition for redress of grievance, yet these people clearly are, to which I have signed and do participate in not PAYING into the system, and depriving it of my earnings and the fruits of my labor.
Russo makes it easily digestable in two hours, for the average person who knows little about government actions, or goals, and incites them to become more educated, care more, and TAKE ACTION.
In a nation that claims to be "representative of the people", and "constitutionally limited republic", where 50% to 60% of the people don't vote, it should speak clearly on what is and is not working.
The laws, and the system have become so complex and politicized that people on average can't comprehend what is happening on the grand scale.
In times like these, I am thankful that people who care still take the time and effort of their own to attempt to enlighten those around them to what they have been missing while attempting to "make ends meet", which is after all, what this is all about....... money, and power, via information or the lack thereof.
