Henry Ford’s philosophy
…..Yesterday’s sage
Every employee…paid
….A sustainable wage
Old Henry had principles
Where some folks don’t
Keep the masses mired
….In perpetual want
Those ideas of Henry’s….
Cause Conservative rage
Freaked out about raising
….The minimum wage
Candidates to a person
…The most recent Debate
Every single participant
….Didn’t………hesitate
When posed the question
……What do you think
“Raise the minimum wage
Hell the whole thing stinks”
…The concept reveals
A pathetic state of mind
Christianity at its worse
…Deliberately…unkind
*
*
Credit “Alzheimer” Henry’s
…..Sustainable Wage
Paid labor….its value…
Thus poverty assuaged
*
*
The world’s left to wonder
…Why…..Republican rage
