Producers and Consumers

producers and consumers

an ongoing war must exist
the battle cry is abundance or scarcity
abundant goods in an open market is the list
scarce goods in a protected market is a calamity

abundance leads to less sacrifice
which is never bad for the consumer
scarcity of goods leads to a higher price
good for producers but not the laborer

lower prices leave more money to those
the greater amount saved the greater the wealth
producers want a window to close
the longer the line the greater their health

government directs traffic to the wrong side
the road to prosperity is an open divide
