Fleas

In China, they're actually making things,
And things made are wealth. Make no
Mistake. Here, nothing's made anymore,
Except loans of money which seems to pop
Out of thin air, and is circulated among
The hordes of makers nothing, the parasites.
Bankers get some, and lawyers and government
Bureaucrats, sports stars, and entertainers,
Gardeners, nannies, dog walkers, psychics,
And soldiers. All get their money and use it
To buy things the Chinese have made,
And the Chinese, in turn, offer loans of that
Money which comes to these parasites,
Seemingly out of the air.
