Just to clear something up,
we need mega rich people –
bankers and owners of giant corporations
otherwise there wouldn’t be any work for anyone.
People wouldn’t know how to do anything.
People would sit around all day, dying.
Luckily we have enormously rich people who,
out of the kindness of their hearts,
give us jobs to do.
That’s why we can eat.
It’s thanks to them.
