Educational institutions are corrupted when professors are paid to mislead the public with articles. What is in shortage now? Truthfulness, desire to serve the public without obsence paychecks, no conflict of interest. Doesn't that sound familiar to what's lacking in S'pore as well?

Certain changes to benefit the elite in american politics & businesses are followed by rather similar changes here in S'pore(see part 7). Some of the people who caused the crisis are still in the Obama administration. Till now there has been little reforms of the US financial system.

"Is a Wall Street Govt." as mentioned by a man in the documentary. Does it remind you of S'pore Inc as well?
