The Necessities

I'm too able bodied to be this poor, too intelligent to ignore, the establishment f$cking us over anymore. Why's the working class the poorer class? And who does the more important tasks? For profit everything; everyday swindling; minimum wage that doesn't pay for the necessities... Reassess your priorities as population booms mass produced, industrialized automation of consumption... Maybe free market thinking isn't quite so free any more. And how is it that in the age of information education isn't free? When it comes to the necessities who has the right to profit off these? It's time we end poverty, wise up and save our trees. My life of luxury ain't stressing bout necessity; just eating well with shelter, public transit and i'll prosper. http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/one-for-the-lift-ticket/7970992
