The American Dream Film

http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=FR&v=tGk5ioEXlIM

A friend sent me this video about the economic system of the USA and I thought you might be interested in it since we, I mean at least I, don't really know much about how economy works in US or France.
It's a bit long but it's really easy to understand and I thought we could maybe discuss it once.

See you next week,
Damien.

Here’s how to judge what voters in Ohio, Florida, Virginia and the other tossups are deciding about the future of all of us – as the votes come in."

Please send me your "Butler" endings, and your next "Picture present".  Have a good week!
