A perfect film for today...

Break the code. View this email in your browser Tackle Tax Day with An Inconvenient Tax! Did you know that the average American spends 57 hours working on their taxes? Even Albert Einstein once wrote, "The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax." An Inconvenient Tax, a documentary from Moving Picture Institute-supported filmmakers Christopher Marshall and Vincent Vittorio, reveals how Congress uses our impossibly complex tax code to achieve political goals that have nothing to do with raising revenue.  Featuring economic experts, commentators, and political voices such as Steve Forbes, Mike Huckabee, Noam Chomsky, David M. Walker, and others, the film traces the evolution of the income tax through wars, economic booms and busts, and presidencies. Political favoritism, ineffective social programs, and economic manipulations all reveal the need for tax reform. As America faces an ever-growing financial crisis, this timely and engaging film transcends partisanship and offers Americans a chance to unite in a grassroots movement for change.
