You see, an 8 year old wrote this, and the school board couldn’t possibly consider censoring this.
All I can say is the kid better get to a university fast because not only does he or she have a remarkably mature way of expression, but the liberal intelligentsia there is obviously the place for him/her. And I’m so sorry the kid lost their plane and yacht.
Some people have it all
But they still don’t think they have enough
They want more money
A faster ride
They’re not content
Never satisfied
Yes — they’re the 1 percent
I used to be one of the 1 percent
I worked all the time
Never saw my family
Couldn’t make life rhyme
Then the bubble burst
It really, really hurt
I lost my money
Lost my pride
Lost my home
Now I’m part of the 99
Some people have it all
But they still don’t think they have enough
They want more money
A faster ride
They’re not content
Never satisfied
Yes — they’re the 1 percent
I used to be sad, now I’m satisfied
’Cause I really have enough
Though I lost my yacht and plane
Didn’t need that extra stuff
Could have been much worse
You don’t need to be first
’Cause I’ve got my friends
Here by my side
Don’t need it all
I’m so happy to be part of the 99
Maybe I am just a believer in America as a meritocracy, but I have to believe that someone in the top 1 percent, after getting an ass whooping in the workplace would dust himself off and get back in the game. The 1 percenter that sits around in parks and smokes dope with the Marxists is a leftist invention.
“Don’t need it all
I’m so happy to be part of the 99’

Hey - that’s great to hear. So now this means you’ll leave me the hell alone?
My daughter (8th grade) was being indoctrinated at school a month ago on how to fairly distribute 100 pennies around the class. She was able to hold her own, but of course the kids are taught from a VERY young age that “equal” is the same as “fair”. Share your toys, give your sister half of the pie, etc. All good things when it comes to playing with another kid, or sharing something that is supposed to be shared.
My daughter made several good points, but the one I liked most was “So a doctor who has been through years and years of school and saves people’s lives should be payed the same as the high school dropout at the 7-11?”
Of course the class voted to redistribute the pennies equally. I told her if it came up again, that she should recommend that the kids with “A”’s should give some of their points to the kids with lower grades so everyone in class can have about the same grade. They moved on to the next thing though.
