[Song fragment up for grabs. The title is a quote by Marshall McLuhan.]

AFFLUENCE CREATES POVERTY

Affluence creates poverty
Affluence creates poverty
See the richest ten per cent
Pushing up the rent
Now Affluence creates poverty

Affluence creates poverty
Affluence creates poverty
Coz there ain't no trickledown
Of wealth in this town
And Affluence creates poverty

Affluence creates poverty
Affluence creates poverty
Now we're digging our own ditch
To lease back from the rich
And Affluence creates poverty
