The folks who are getting Free Shit,  
Don’t like the folks who are paying for the Free Shit,  
Because the folks who are paying for the Free Shit,  
Can no longer afford to pay for both the Free Shit and their own Shit.

And,  
The folks who are paying for the Free Shit,  
Want the Free Shit to stop.  
And the folks who are getting the Free Shit,  
Want even MORE Free Shit on top of the Free Shit they’re getting already!

Now… The people who are forcing people to PAY for the Free Shit,  
Have told the people who are RECEIVING the Free Shit,  
That the people who are PAYING for the Free Shit,  
Are being mean, prejudiced and racist.

So … the people who are GETTING the Free Shit,  
Have been convinced they need to HATE the people who are PAYING for the  
Free Shit because they are selfish. And they are promised more Free Shit if they will vote for  
the people who force the people who pay for the Free Shit to give them even more Free Shit.  
And - - - - - that’s the Shit!

There’s also no such thing as free SPAM. Which is what the OP is.

Anyone care to explain what the OP is talking about? I don’t get it… Doesn’t seem to mirror anything I’ve seen in reality.
