Neoliberal Elections
Neoliberal Elections
Actually my hyperbolic suggestion is not that new
apart from the vote casting honesty it might pursue
as it is known to democracy with all its respect due
no more veils from rich over poor to give you a clue
We have cell phones and finger prints for transactions
iris photos and soon microchips for regular satisfaction
in commerce we trust so there might be some traction
to link consumer sales with how we vote in elections
How many ballots we have to establish who is the winner
must tie to overall purchases what we spend on our dinner
and luxuries cars perfume Democracy 101 for the beginner
proportionally less say when our wallets are much thinner
The big spenders will directly determine who’s in charge
they can simply make more crosses so no change at large
far fewer concerns no hoodwinking for those on the marge
only truthfulness in that some do not rule as they are ‘savage’
