I wanna be a lawyer
Doctor or professor
A member of the UMC
I want an air conditioner
Cottage on the river
And all the money I can see
...
I want a yacht for sailing
Private eye for tailing
My wife if She's a bit too free
I've been told ever since a boy
That's what one aught to be
A part of the UMC
I want a pool to swim in
Fancy suits to dress in
Some stock in GM and GE
An office in the city
Secretary pretty
Who'll take dictation on my knee
I want a paid vacation
Don't want to have to ration
A thing with anyone but me
And if there's war or famine
Promise I'll examine
The details IF they're on TV
I'll pretend to be liberal but I'll still support the GOP
As part of the UMC
I wanna be a lawyer
Doctor or professor
A member of the UMC
(A member of the oligarchy)
"UMC"

Who Was the Wizard? – a charlatan who politician-like can change forms in the book and tricked the citizens of Oz into believing he is all powerful.
Sometimes compared to a behind-the-scenes manipulator “pulling-the-strings” of politicians just as Wall Street’s bankers do today.
Mark Hanna - “There are two things that are important in politics. The first is money and I can’t remember the second”.
Such an all-powerful view of money is a deceit noted under the word “Emerald City,” Baum knew banks manipulated politicians and the people and commonly used deceit ... the $700 billion from the first “global financial crisis” was just a sprinkling of fairy dust.... and then QE ... and now more trillions in stimulus and QE infinity in '20.
Ring a bell? Bankers create money – you pay the bill - a trickery certainly known to Baum.
