A blue-eyed, Aryan-looking Jesus Christ is shown mouthing the gospel of the one-percent disciples of Reaganomics.
Moore does exaggerate the economic heaven that prevailed before Reaganomics took over, as if the working class consisted solely of comfy Ozzie Nelsons, Donna Reeds, and their well-fed, red-cheeked offspring, but his point is clear.

The economic recovery now being flaunted concerns Wall Street and not the other 95 percent, Main Street.
