Casino Jack and the United States of Money
Grade: A- (Watch it)
Review: An excellent expose of corruption that is still going rampant in our political system. Movie explores GOP operative and lobbyist Jack Abramoff from his student days until his well publicized demise that brought down disgraced GOP majority leader - and dancer - Tom Delay. Movie shows how corruption pushed legislation encouraging sweatshops and human trafficking that forced employees to have abortions in the Northern Mariana Islands (so much for pro-life stand). During his days of lobbying operations related to Internet Gambling and Indian Casinos it is fascinating how Jack's operation abused the good will of religious groups and prayed on the gullibility of family values voter.
