‘The One Percent’
Here’s a figure that never ceases to amaze us: 1% of the US population controls about 40% of the country’s wealth. And those rich people just keep getting richer.
Filmmaker Jamie Johnson is heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical fortune. For his first film, "Born Rich," he used his connections to get intimate interviews with other uber-wealthy twentysomethings. Now, he’s come out with a new documentary entitled "The One Percent," in which he talks with rich AND poor about the income gap.
He joins Faith Salie on "Fair Game" to discuss it.
"Fair Game" is a satirical news and entertainment, weekday evening program. Hosted by Faith Salie, possibly the only Rhodes Scholar who performs comedy intentionally, "Fair Game" covers the important stories of the day and features newsmaker and celebrity interviews, live music and regular appearances by the country’s best comedians.
