I understand the need to make the message comprehensible to the lowest common denominator, but it dilutes it to the point of absurdity. Just fade to black after the last line of dialog, if you didn't catch it then go back to watching Jersey Shore.

Yes they did. They're dealing with progressives.

But, this is aimed below the lowest common denominator. It's aimed at Socialist Progressives. See: The Hepburn Compound dinner scene in The Aviator.

The first movie I took DiCaprio seriously. That scene is priceless.

"We're all Socialists here."

and

"You don't care about money because you've always had it."

Two great lines. Both statements of the painfully obvious.

Wow. It's almost like Hank Rearden from Atlas Shrugged. Forgot about that movie.
