Please quantify your response with data that proves the video is propaganda.
Me thinks you know not of what you speak.............
Did you watch the video? It's one sided. They didn't provide any perspectives from CEOs, businesses, republicans and economic theorists. The entire video is just a guy pushing numbers to support his theory.
Me thinks you know not the definition of propaganda.
Also, how would I "quantify" such a response? You want numerical representation of how much propaganda the video is?

OK, let's say we're talking about 500 executives, each of which has an income bloated by 50-million (although the average is probably way less, those were just extreme examples he gave). That's 25-billion. The GDP is 15-trillion, so completely eliminating all those executive salaries would redistribute only 1/60 of the national wealth. Maybe $500 to the average household.
First of all, how would you distribute that money so the poor would get most of it? It would simply almost all go to the upper and upper-middle class, and have no effect on poverty.
All reform would do, would push 25-billion from the super-rich down to the fairly rich. Until you create an economic society mindset with a commitment to reducing or eliminating poverty, the wealth will still all just be passed around among the people who are far above the poverty level, no matter how vigorously you tried to apply reform. Everything else is just Volvo-Liberal talk.
Besides, I bet the guy in the video is making 6-figures and has a net wroth of 7, and I didn't see that disclosure there.
As for "propaganda", It can be propaganda, even if everything he says is verifiably true. Propaganda (and lying in general) comes in the form of preselecting truths and presenting them in an incomplete context.

I really can't wrap my mind around the fact that you champion the very corrupt people that the story is about !!
We know that you hold the right wing in great esteem for sure now.........
I don't know the exact answer to the question, but I can say that cutting unenjoyment to someone the SECOND they graduate college or another training program, as if they are going to be hired instantaneously (in this economy ??? seriously !) doesn't help. But that's exactly what the Man did to me.
But because I'm not a minority with a litter of brats, I apparently don't count.
