It's About the Economy

the rich, the poor and the middle class an invisible subliminal system of caste we are suppose to be a nation of freedom and opportunity a democratic society based upon equality but in all actuality it's about the economy to be wealthy and have anything you can afford to be the CEO or the chairman of the board to be rich and have enough money to pass just a few steps above the upper middle class those who have to go to work most everyday yet they still receive a substantial pay and the poor, what they call the working stiffs barely getting by, hoping their finances will shift it's about the economy and how much you are worth it's about the amount of money you have in your wallet or your purse don't be naive and think money does not matter it's about the economy and the rich whose pockets get fatter if you're wealthy your name is on the building if you're rich it's on the door the middle class' names are on their desk but if your name's on your shirt then you're poor
