The World

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 now 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.
