And now I have to sum-up my conclusion and write some poetry…
Peanuts for the poor
by Stefan{at}MyTree.CH for Roger and his Foundation
Dear Roger,
About your real motivation, I am not so sure
But you donate some peanuts for the poor.
Starbucks fails the Fair-Trade-Test, quite a bit
and possibly there is a problem. Can you smell it?
Fair Trade certified of its coffee are just 8.5 percent
Who will pay their tax-avoidance-bills in the end?
By the way, there is a heavy Rolex on your wrist
Do you feel it when you make your winner-fist?
From which country comes most of the gold?
It might come from illegal African mines – I was told.
To cut its tax bill Microsoft moves profits offshore
Like this, they have money for The Match for Africa 4
145$ a month a factory worker makes in Hanoi
466$ in Beijing, so let’s move to Vietnam! Boy oh Boy!
Nike -There is no doubt -They just do it as well
They abuse the poor ones and most likely end-up in hell
The question at the end is: Who benefits most?
Is it the stingy sponsor or an African ghost?
But who should we blame in this tax-avoidance game?
About your real motivation, I am still not so sure
But at least you donate some peanuts for the poor
Think about the following in your next ATP-Tour:
With your help bluechip companies get ritcher than ritch
We all know that life -specially for Africans – is a bitch
How is this poem to be understood?
Well, dear Roger, it really looks like you are an Anti-Robin-Hood!
