The Wealth Gap Movie 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest half of the entire world! This is the stuff that topples governments, and we better get in front of it. Never in history has the gap been this great without a revolution and catastrophic consequences.

The economy is growing, but it’s not growing for everyone. The wealth gap is careening out of control and the only real solutions, small business and entrepreneurship, are being choked out. Mainstream media covers the surface and never hints at any solution.

Meanwhile, groups are forming expecting some benevolent government to save us. It’s not going to happen, the system has been bought. The very politicians they turn to for solutions are using the story to buy votes and fill their campaign coffers.

If it is ever going to be fixed, it will be because we joined together to fix it.

It’s up to us to shine a light on this. We're surrounded by incredible stories of people solving huge problems including their own personal wealth gaps, but the media never seems to cover it. It's up to us to get these stories told.

Jeff Hays tried to Crowdfund this campaign in 2014 on Indiegogo, but they didn't raise the capital. Now with the rise of Token Sales and the crypto community we have engaged Jeff Hays again as we believe the world is ready to hear the truth…

Click on the images below to watch some teaser videos. They are all worth listening to and why this Wealth Gap movie is so critical to produce!

The Wealth Gap Movie Jeff Hays is a serial entrepreneur and filmmaker with a long colorful history of visionary projects. In the mid-nineties he started Capstone Entertainment, a film and television production and distribution company. Within its first year the company generated over $10 million in revenue and received numerous awards in the children’s programming category. Since then he has started over twenty companies including DealsthatMatter.com, NextFitness, Podfitness, Zingback, MyCompanyRecords.com and Talk 2 Technologies. The companies he’s founded have collectively raised over $100 million in capital through both private investors and VCs. Recently he’s also launched several wildly successful crowd-funding campaigns, in addition to personally funding several ventures. He holds eight patents in the tech industry.

He has been producing films for over twenty years and is best known for his controversial documentary “FahrenHype 9/11,” which was the response to Michael Moore’s film “Fahrenheit 9/11.” In his film, Jeff involved such high-profiled individuals as Ron Silver, Dick Morris, Senator Zell Miller, Mayor Ed Koch and a host of others. This film received rave reviews from the NY Times, Variety and other media outlets.

Jeff then produced “On Native Soil,” working as both producer and �executive producer. “On Native Soil” received rave reviews from both critics and viewers, culminating in Jeff being short-listed for an Academy Award nomination in 2005. The film was sold to Lions Gate and continues to sell today, 8 years after it was made.

Following his passion for sharing truth, and exposing the controversy that all too often surrounds it, Jeff produced “Doctored” in 2012. Doctored, following a deep and troubling investigation, reveals the unseen tactics of the medical establishment and exposes deception and criminality at the highest levels of the American Medical Association (AMA) and finally shares the stories of victims left in its wake. Doctored has sold over 200,000 DVD copies since its release in theaters in September of 2012, making it one of the most successful independently distributed DVDs of 2013.

Following up on themes uncovered in interviews for “Doctored”, Jeff produced a follow up film “Bought”, taking a deep dive into the �business of Big Pharma, the controversies with vaccines and the truth about GMOs in America’s food supply. The film has already developed the support of some of the world’s most acclaimed experts in research, medicine, holistic care and natural health. Jeff believes that each person has a right to the truth and be empowered by the facts to make educated decisions about their own health, food and medicine.

Jeff has also worked in network television as the executive producer for “My Workout,” a program that aired on Lifetime Network.

Jeff considers his most important role in life as father of 9, and is active with 12 grandkids. When not filming, Jeff maintains offices in New York City and Salt Lake City, UT. He is an avid hiker and fitness enthusiast.

The Wealth Gap Movie Some of the Reasons to Complete the Wealth Gap Movie

FACT: Between 1979 and 2009, the richest 5 percent of American families saw their real incomes increase 73 percent while the poorest Americans saw their real incomes decrease by 7 percent.*

FACT: If U.S. incomes were still distributed as they were in 1979, the average U.S. worker would receive nearly $6,000 more a year in income.

Do a quick web search on the phrases “wealth gap” and “income inequality” and you’ll be shocked at the conversation building around you. It’s heating, it’s expanding and it is about to boil over. Politicians have been supporting policies that benefit the few at the expense of everyone else.

FACT: The U.S. government spends $400 billion annually in tax incentives to help people create wealth. The top 1% gets 45% of these benefits, while the bottom 60% gets just 4%.

FACT: There is a growing political chorus trying to solve wealth inequality by simply eliminating wealth. 85 people, (a group so small they could easily fit on a double decker bus) own as much wealth as almost half of the world population. And it's getting worse. This is the stuff that revolutions are made of, the rapidly growing gap in income and wealth that is grabbing headlines day after day.

But what is the real story? More importantly, how does this effect you, your income, your own personal gap?

But here's the bottom line:

If we don't get a positive message out about opportunity and entrepreneurship, the scarcity model mindset will shape the culture for the next 50 years in ways from which we'll struggle to recover.

FACT: Small businesses employ nearly 60% of the private workforce and pay approximately 50% of US payroll.

FACT: Small Businesses are a bastion for creativity and progress, creating 13X more patents per employee than large patenting companies.

FACT: The 28 million small businesses in the United States outnumber corporations 1162 to 1.

FACT: Entrepreneurial spirit continues to foster innovation and employment growth, producing 40-50% of the GDP year after year.

FACT: Self-Employed entrepreneurs earn more on average than the medial income in the US by nearly $5,000 per year.

We each have the power to close our own wealth gap. Whether you are part of projects like this one, in the sharing economy, part of the thousands of co-working spaces, incubators, entrepreneur communities and grass roots projects around the world, you can see how much difference each of us can make to close the gap.

Most people still aren't aware they can even make a difference. It is time to Empower the 99%!
