So You Have a Lot of Money

So You Have a Lot of Money By Franklin Price 12/3/2015 So you have a lot of money - Maybe are a billionaire The how's and why's the way you got it - I myself don't really care You're working now to keep it - Maybe even want some more If you're a citizen of the U.S. - You should check up on the score The environment is capitalist - That gives the U.S. ONE There are the breaks in taxes - TWO for country for you none The environment is mostly free - Many places to invest That's THREE and Four there's so much more - You still have none to pass the test The Senators and Congressmen - Tend to move most things your way With your money and influence - You now have ONE and that is sway Depends on how you use it - Tells what others think of you To make more money for yourself - Is not all that you should do Help make this country better - Bring less fortunate along Invest in Education – Help put us back where we belong Invest in others' efforts - To put money in your shoe To aid in helping others – Gives you a score of TWO Won't always make you money – Will make you better you will see To give to others for no return – Gives you a score of THREE Some rich say no one helped them – You are free these words to say I can easily show you're lying - Our founding fathers paved the way I'm sure that others helped along – Maybe still are there for you So the way I'm looking at it – Is you owe this country too Take advantage of the giving holes – And they won't be voted out Giving something back to proliferate – Is part of what it's all about
