A documentary that explores the connection between income tax collection and the erosion of civil liberties in America.
Leave your thoughts about America: Freedom to Fascism.
| One People's ProjectKam WilliamsA thought-provoking clarion call which concludes that America, instead of being by the people and for the people is, in truth, an oppressive, exploitative Big Brother where government and corporations reign supreme. |
| VarietyLeslie FelperinThe strong case built in pic's first half is weakened by the vaguely argued contention in the second that the land of the free is becoming anything but. Attack focuses on the Federal Reserve, the Patriot Act, the abolition of the gold standard, and not-yet-ratified plans to introduce identity chips on currency and in citizens in the future. |
| NewsdayJohn Anderson[Russo] has created such an inflammatory piece of clumsy propaganda it's hard to take his best arguments seriously. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey"America: Freedom To Fascism" captures America's current gloom and doom zeitgeist with plenty of controversial ideas to send any dinner party into a shouting match. |
| TV GuideKen FoxLaw-abiding Americans who hand off a solid chunk of their salaries to the IRS might be interested in what filmmaker Aaron Russo has to say on the subject of income tax. |
| Kansas City StarRobert W. ButlerIf America: From Freedom to Fascism is right only 10 percent of the time, we're in big trouble. |
| OregonianMarc MohanMostly it's about taxes -- namely, the argument that the Federal Income Tax, enacted in 1913, is unconstitutional and has been ruled as such by the Supreme Court, and that no law exists today requiring Americans to pay it. |
| TheMovieChicks.comCherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann PaloneIf Russo really wanted to attract an audience, he should have called this: Why You Don't Have To Pay Taxes! Now that's a title that would get people in the seats. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumProvocative but also infuriating, this alarmist documentary argues that the levying of a federal income tax in 1913 was unconstitutional and set America on the road to fascism. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenAn unconvincing doc that hardly justifies the view that the U.S. is headed toward fascism. |
