Pants On Fire

Pants on Fire explores the lies that govern Americawhy people go along with them and what it costs to do so. It reveals the plutocracy that benefits and examines what needs to be done to bring back a true democracy.

Its no secret: The wealthy demandand getwhat they want from the system at the expense of everyone else. Seven key lies advance their agenda:

The way to grow the economy is to stimulate the people at the top.
Loose money is another way to grow the economy.
The stock market is the best investment and the best economic indicator.
Executive compensation is tied to performance.
Regulation is bad; deregulation is good.
Bailing out Wall Street was necessary to preserve the system.
The health care question is about who pays.


These claims are driving the biggest economic crisis in modern history, and producing a society ready to explode with anger. Provocative and sometimes funny, Pants on Fire looks past the individual problems to the eventual, necessary solution.
