The story of what happens to everyday Americans when corporations go to war.

Acclaimed director Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed) takes you inside the lives of soldiers, truck drivers, widows and children who have been changed forever as a result of profiteering in the reconstruction of Iraq. Iraq for Sale uncovers the connections between private corporations making a killing in Iraq (Blackwater, Halliburton/KBR, CACI and Titan) and the decision makers who allow them to do so.

When Bill Clinton left office we were on track to pay down the United States debt by some 2.3 trillion dollars by the year 2011. What happened? Two wars, one totally illegal and based on lies and manipulated intelligence. Republican tax cuts, the GOP making outsourcing easier and more profitable, making it easier to offshore trillions of dollars made off of the American people instead of paying taxes... 2/3 of the most profitable corporations in the U.S. pay zero dollars in federal taxes. That is correct, 68% of our wealthiest companies pay no federal taxes.
