This documentary has nothing to do with the biblical concept of the Four Horsemen. It identifies the modern day Four Horsemen as:

1) A rapacious financial system

2) Escalating organized violence

3) Abject poverty for billions

4) The exhaustion of the earth's resources

In this film various economists, former government advisors, former Wall Street insiders and a host of other speakers, explain the mechanics of the current global financial and economic system and the enormous imbalance that it creates. I don’t agree with the solutions that are offered as a remedy by some of the speakers, but the overall content is highly informative.

As always I recommend that you draw your own conclusions.

By now it is (or should be) a well known fact that the United States is nearing societal and economic collapse. Lawmakers cry “we’re broke” as they slash budgets and leave many Americans scrambling to survive.

Meanwhile, multibillion-dollar American corporations like Exxon, Google and Bank of America are making record profits. And while the deficit climbs and the cuts go deeper, corporations with intimate ties to political leaders are concealing colossal profits overseas to avoid paying U.S. income tax.

‘We’re not broke’ is the story of how fed-up Americans from across the country, take their frustration to the streets and vow to make the corporations pay their fair share.
