Fiscal Wins

How do you view millionaires and billionaires?

By Skyler SaundersPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

Capitalism is not the problem.

Poverty isn’t even the issue.

It’s when people allow the unproductive to rob them.

This is when we hit the deep tissue.

Millionaires and billionaires should never feel guilty for their wealth.

If they’ve earned their money,

Their fortunes should be stealth,

And never made out to be too sunny.

We’ve already solved the complaints.

They just never have been implemented.

Rid the economy of licensing laws and other restraints

And our fiscal wins would be cemented.

The amount of riches

That America has brought to the fore,

Should leave every pauper in stitches.

They'll laugh, knowing that there's always more.

We are as fortunate as we want to be.

Already, it amounts to how we can be free.
