Casino Jack and the United States of Money plot

"Come See Where Your Democracy Went"

The news out of Washington DC is full of terms like "earmarks", "pork barrel-spending", and "goodies". But what do these expressions really mean, who is responsible for them and how do they affect the average citizen? In Casino Jack and the United States of Money, The Social Action Campaign aims to highlight the corrupting role of money in politics through a portrait of a man who has learned everything about the world through trial and error: Washington super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff. This documentary takes a look at the police investigation into lobbyist Jack Abramoff and the political favoritism that is the order of the day. The desperate need of politicians to be elected - and the millions of dollars that it costs - undermines the basic tenets of democracy.
