Deliver Me From the Impoverished Masses

Deliver Me From the Impoverished Masses By Elton Camp Counting my money is my favorite thing to do Those who are as wealthy as me are very few One thing in life I have learned is always true People succeed financially if they only want to All it takes is rich parents to help you get a start And then ruthless determination & a hard heart Only if your Certified Public Accountant is lax Is it necessary to waste money by paying tax The little people are nothing but worthless slobs They who fill the many menial, low-paying jobs Their basic needs they dare to feel they should get Seeing such arrogance nearly makes me have a fit What right have they to housing or medical care And it’s nothing to me if their cupboard is bare Some accuse me of normal lifestyle to be blind Untrue--I just make sure I’m never of that kind Poor people will always manage to be around I admit they disgust me and I won’t back down

Hey Ilene, thanks for reading and going to the trouble to comment. This was just too tempting not to have a little fun with it. But I am an equal opportunity insulter and may well strike out in a different direction next time. I figured somebody would get mad at this one, but not so far. Elton

Hello Barbara, I never cease to be astonished at the things politicians will say and do. I suspect that R has badly insulted a big part of the public with his intemperate comments. Time will tell. Elton
