The Western system ensures that the 'haves' do not become 'have nots'; pretty much a feature of most successful systems. The market works on many levels and a 'have not' within the sytsem is in no better place than all of those without. Just a dirty trick.
lyrics
IT’S ENOUGH
I come from, the third world in the west
Like poor Peru, I'm a slave to debts
The credit's free, the interest's always more
It's hard enough, don't need the wolf at the door
And what they give has no value
Their words are full of the good they do
They make you feel that you're the one untrue
To an honest way to live, to the proper way to give
Enough to make you sick, it's just a dirty trick
My mistake, is that I love my fun
They assume, I can't get anything done
Despite the years, they say I don't have proof
It's hard enough, without the hole in the roof
And what I use has no value
But all my wage goes up the tube
They trick me into feeling I'm untrue
To an honest way to live, to the proper way to give
Enough to make you sick, it's just a dirty trick
The righteousness of power, grows with every hour
They make it seem like they shower you with gifts
But down there on the street, it's poverty that speaks
Enough to make you sick, it's just a dirty trick
Take a loan, say all the western banks
It's not for nought, we think you should give thanks
We'll say it's for, another hydro-dam
It's hard enough, without the master plan
And what we give has no value
You'll pay and pay, and when you're through
We'll say you are the ones who've been untrue
To an honest way to live, to the proper way to give
Enough to make you sick, it's just a dirty tri-ick
Dirty tri-ick, dirty trick
