Notes About The Poem

A plausible reason to give breaks to the wealthy.

The Rich Pitch

The Rich Pitch
By Franklin Price
4/26/2016

Think hard and listen to this pitch
Why government is for the rich
Soon another vote we'll take
To give the rich another break
The reason is so plain to see
The rich are the minority

So few, they are not hard to find
So rich, their wealth will blow your mind
To vote them breaks to give them more
We know they'll share, we'll not be poor
And when it's time to vote again
They'll donate the breaks to ease the pain 

Millions used to re-elect
Dollars are what we all respect
Pay for many things of note
We'll even try to buy your vote
With money gotten from the rich
Political life is such a *****
