All-American Grill...
1:37:02
- Forget it.
- ...in Oakland County...
1:37:04
- Close the door.
- A Welfare-to-work program--
1:37:06
- Close the door.
- These people are forced...
1:37:08
Dick, no...
- Bye-bye. Come on, move over!
1:37:10
- I want you to help me convince
the governor of Michigan...
1:37:13
It's a Welfare-to-work pro...
These women are forced to work!
1:37:16
They've got kids at home. Dick!
1:37:18
Ah, jeez!
1:37:20
In George Bush's America,
1:37:23
the poor were not a priority.
1:37:26
And after September 11th, 2001,
1:37:28
correcting America's
social problems
1:37:31
took a back seat to fear,
1:37:33
panic and a new set
of priorities.
1:37:36
- One way to express our unity
1:37:39
is for Congress to set
the military budget,
1:37:43
the defence of
the United States,
1:37:45
as the number-one priority
and fully fund my request!
1:37:53
- We've been selling
a lot of chemical suits,
1:37:55
with the gloves and the hoods.
1:37:58
And we've been selling
a lot of gas masks.
1:38:01
- I'm trying to get one
for myself and my puppy.

[female reporter]:
Denis Marks and his wife

1:38:08
[ male reporter]: Wal-Mart says
after September 11th,
1:38:10
gun sales surged 70%,

ammunition up 140%.
1:38:15
In Dallas, they're
already taking potshots
1:38:17
at Osama bin Laden.
1:38:19
- In the months following
the 9/11 attacks,
1:38:21
we, Americans, were gripped
in a state of fear.
1:38:25
None of us knew
if we too would die
1:38:27
at the hands of the evildoers,
1:38:29
or who might be sitting
1:38:31
next to some crazy guy trying
to light his shoes on fire.
1:38:34
The threat seemed very real.
1:38:36
- Sounds a little paranoid but
I'm not gonna take the chance.
1:38:39
Just trying to protect
myself and my family.
1:38:41
- Our growing fears were turned
1:38:43
into a handsome profit
for many.
1:38:45
- Mike Blake has seen
1:38:47
a 30% increase in sales at ADT
1:38:49
over the last month.
1:38:50
Most of the people he talks to
are still a little uneasy
1:38:53
over the September 11th
terrorist attacks.
1:38:56
- How are we afraid of all these
things, it's because
1:38:58
a lot of people are making
a lot of money off of it
