The Rich and Powerful account for roughly 1% of the US population, but you won't find any folk songs about them. The most maligned yet influential minority in America and the World? And no folk songs?

This is my attempt to right that wrong.

New build that's a player. ADF# tuned down a half step or so.

This one goes out to c#merle.

Thanks Kirt.  It's a dirty job but somebody's gotta do it!

It's about time that someone paid tribute (if not more cash) to the poor few that have so much! Thinking I should go and burn a few cardboard boxes to stop the infiltration of "tent cities" in they areas the rich call home, you know, the castles and mansions hidden behind gated properties.

Nice song turtlehead, very much enjoyed!

Thanks mele and UJ.  Songwriting is something that doesn't always work out for me.  I was happy with this one.

Well, said and ringing true by Mr. Silent.  Sounding really nice, Turtle.   I enjoyed. 

Oh, good and true, Merle.
