And to make the film "entertaining for a younger audience," Ray Griggs has included a claymation sequence in which presidents Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan take to the ring for an all-out boxing match.
The segment appears on the film's promotional Web site (

"Two versions of the American dream now stand in sharp contrast," the film's Web site states. "One views the money you earned as yours and best allocated by you. It champions the traditional American dream, which has played out millions of times through generations of Americans, of improving one’s lot in life and the entrepreneurial spirit of daring to dream and to build big.
"The other believes that the federal government, using taxpayers’ money, should play a major role in leveling out the nation’s wealth to guarantee outcomes to all, regardless of effort. How America chooses between these two views of the role of government, at this crucial juncture, will have everything to do with the future we and our children and our children’s children will enjoy."
