1:04:00
Half of Flint was now receiving
some form of government welfare.

1:04:05
Meanwhile, Roger Smith
gave himself a $2,000,000 raise.

1:04:08
GM lobbyist Tom Kay tried to explain.
1:04:11
I don't understand your connection,
that by saying...

1:04:14
because General Motors was born here,
it owes more to this community.

1:04:18
- I don't agree with that.
- Why not?

1:04:20
Because I just don't agree with it.
I believe it's a corporation.

1:04:23
It's in business to make a profit.
It does what it has to do to make a profit.

1:04:27
That's the nature of corporations
or companies.

1:04:30
It's why people take their own money
and invest it in a business...

1:04:35
so they can make money.
1:04:36
It isn't to honor their hometown.
1:05:02
What's going on here?
1:05:04
They're evicting somebody from his home.
1:05:09
I was just wondering.
1:05:13
It turned out that the guy Deputy Fred
was evicting had gone to my high school.

1:05:17
His name was James Bond.
1:05:18
As if that hadn't
caused him enough grief...

1:05:20
he was now being thrown out of his home.
1:05:23
Where can I go to stay?
1:05:25
We had five kids
at the place where I was this morning.

1:05:29
And you went over there
and evicted them?

1:05:31
- Set them out on the ground.
- Why is that?

1:05:33
Because they didn't pay the rent.
You think I like this?

1:05:37
I got other things to do.
1:05:38
- You've been doing it a long time.
- It's a job.

1:05:43
- What can I say? It's a job.
- It's a job.

1:05:45
Somebody's got to do it.
1:05:48
I feel sorry for the people that have kids.
1:05:50
What will they grow up to?
What do they look forward to?

1:05:53
- Lf I was a young man, I'd keep working.
- Look out there. It's nothing.

1:05:57
- They got a bleak future.
- I know. I worked over there for 17 years.
