I've always wanted to do a video about the haves and the have-nots, in this case the 1% and the 99%. Do a split screen, where on one side you would have video of rich presidential candidates getting out of their limos and expensive luxury cars while on other side show a mother with her 2 kids get on a bus, or something like that, you get the idea.
But as the video goes on the rich side gets smaller and the 99% side gets bigger and shows how we work together to make this a better world without any help from the one percent.
Here is a story about the GOP candidate's lavish digs. Note that Michelle Bachman has a $250,000 Ford GT sitting in the driveway.

Obama had a condo in Illinois, then he bought a pretty sizable home. There is a story to with that.

There are links to other politicians homes on the bottom of that page.
I think the best shots of the 99% would be real and current, but there is plenty of stock footage as well.
(Rich guy) I'm rich and like cool shit
You poor and not so deal with it
(Poor guy) You're no good, you're to good at your job
(Rich guy) So get up off your shoulders and get some skills ya fuckin slob
I grew up swinging a hammer
You grew up smoking the bammer
(Poor guy) It was good weed and we got stoned
(Rich guy) I had hookers snorting lines of ma bone
And I don't mean that 7 th St shit
I'm talking some of that 1000/hr, real legit!
(Poor guy) I'm sitting in Zucotti fighting you with my blogs
(Rich guy) Zucotti, I wouldn't go there to walk my driver's dogs!!
(Poor guy) you gonna feel the burn, you're all gonna pay
When you not looking we will have our day
We know what you did and how you got rich
(rich guy) Broke motha fucka, you don't understand shit
My parent were like you, no pennies to rub
My mom was depressed, and my dad was a shlub
I said "fuck this" and started to plan
Went through high school and college, man
Be like me, and you can be a winner
Instead of having hot dogs and pepper spray for dinner
Chorus: I'm rich you're poor, (poor guy) but at least I ain't a whore
(poor guy) we sing songs, people hear our voice
We know it's working, even though you call it noise
Fighting the power, pushing back the cops
We're still laughing while they're cleaning our clocks
If you're not with us, you're a rich wannabe nazi
And you should be shot the fuck up like stars and poparazzi
The pigs tried to get us to leave the park
we told them to fuck off cause it's about to get dark.
We're not doing nuthin the Bill of Rights got us
So go back to your commander and them "it's you, not us"
Chorus
(Rich guy) I've heard you shit, so I'm gonna end this song
And tell you people where you went wrong
You have no power, we laugh at you
You make your own people look like fools to
They don't get paid, because they don't work
And now they look at you like you're a fuckin jerk
Sitting in filth, going to concerts,
making us richer from the tears you squirt
Phillip Glass ain't broke, nor Russell Simmons
But you asshole clap and hoot like a bunch of gibbons
Go whine to mommy, she'll help you out
Oh yeah that's right she's got money, so she's got to much clout
One last line and then I'll leave you
I'm out having fun while you sleep in a cold tent, dude
how was that
Think we could get T Pain to do the vocals?... FFFFFFresh.
I write songs too, mostly old school blues.
I got one called: "I'm feelin' so low I gotta get high to get the blues.".
I used to write a lot. Then I started making things, this is honestly the longest thing I wrote in years, and it took me as long to write as it did to read.... I gotta start back up again....
Call it what it would be: FUCKIN fresh!! So fresh, it'd be moldy!! :)
