The average working American knows more than the film makers

The average working American knows more detail, and greater truth, about the current American economy than all the makers of this film combined. Hollywood is completely clueless and as disconnected from reality as Washington. Which is why this film lost money.

Actually, most crew members of a film are skilled laborers; often they don't get steady work in "Hollywood". They deal with CEO types of people in their industry too (e.g. Executive Producers, Producers). I guarantee that many crew could relate; they have families at home and need steady work and benefits like the next person.
