Are you really saying this couldn't happen or isn't likely to happen if the technology is there?
How is the movie so different to how the wealthy behave now? Blue collar workers have very few employment rights and can be sacked without reason. Healthcare is only there for those who can afford it and the wealthy segregate themselves in gated communities.
I'd say the only real difference between then and the US of today is thechnology.

Did you ever think people don't want political views shoved down their throat when they thought they were just watching an "action flick"? If I wanted constant political opinions in my face I'd turn on the news.

And, sadly, almost EVERY single good movie is full of liberal propaganda. they can never just leave that alone and make a movie without an agenda. I just ignore it and try to like the movies, anyway. One example is V For Vendetta.

Did you even read what you typed? If you think the movie is good why are you calling it propaganda? Why do people who hate liberals continue to watch Hollywood movies knowing that its Liberal dominated?

Boo hoo! Did someone force you to watch this movie? Does, "crammed down your throat" mean "I bought a ticket and drove myself to the theater"?
And what planet are you from? Most science fiction is about totalitarianism and greed run amok. This story wasn't new: it was just the most depressing version of Idiocracy. -

I didn't see this as a political movie, but, I live in Canada where we have universal health care. Like most of the rest of the world except the States.
Going to the hospital doesn't involve much in the way of bureaucracy. Almost none since we all have health id cards. You're in the system. You just show up. That's all. No forms. No bureaucracy.
I'd be dead right now if I lived in the States.
This movie didn't strike me as being overly political. It's a common theme in sci-fi. The Overlords rule the slave race is a common oneit's not like this is the first time we're seeing it.

Let me guess, you're one of those people who watch The Daily Show and think you're all up on the news of the day.
Oh, and if you don't want to be "sacked", do a good job, you might even get a promotion and better your situation, unless of course you simply enjoy whining about "the man". -

Because the writers clearly don't understand how an economy works.
Example.. they have robots that can clearly replace all human labor, yet you still have people working in factories? A guy has to dolley a pallet of full of robot torsos into a nuke oven? It's like they regressed back to early twenty century assembly lines. And they wonder why production is down?
The director projects present economic scarcity into a world where scarcity should have been vastly reduced or virtually eliminated and turns it up to the max. Considering the level of technology where a bed can cure you of anything in under 1 minute. Face blown off by a grenade? New face reconstructed in literally 30 seconds. Doctors? Gone. Nurses? Gone. Dedicated medical facilities? Gone. Medical cures is literally the cost and availability of energy which seems to be in great abundance.
