Seventy-five

\includegraphics[width=.5in]{Images/love.eps}

People starve if taxes eat their grain,
And the faults of starving people
Are the faults of their rulers.

That is why people rebel.

People who have to fight for their living
And are not afraid to die for it
Are higher people that those who, though stationed high,
Are too fat to dare to die.
