Question

I've had a disease

for two thirds of your life

what caused it to be

sprung from great strife

I'm losing my breath

as the disease progresses

I'm certain of death

When I observe the masses

so please play your part

and give me your time

It's stopping my heart

and choking my mind

Do you know what I have?

Or are you just dumb?

If I'm one you can save,

you can change the outcome.

Solving a riddle.

Riddle's Disease could be its solution. It would die eventually(losing breath) as many people try to solve it (many masses).

Everyone must induldge in solving it and give some of their time(so play your part and give me your time) and your efforts are solving me(Its stopping my heart and choking my mind).

Insulting you if you can't solve it(Do you know what I have?Or are you just dumb?). There is only one way you can save it and that is by not solving it and answering something else.(If I'm one you can save,you can change the outcome.)

I've had a disease

for two thirds of your life -The income tax started about 1/3 through the history of the USA

what caused it to be

sprung from great strife-The income tax began as way to pay for the civil war effort

I'm losing my breath-stifling the economy

as the disease progresses -we have a progressive income tax

I'm certain of death-"two things are certain in life, death and taxes."

When I observe the masses-masses being the citizens of the United States

so please play your part-pay your taxes

and give me your time-go to work and earn an income to be taxed

It's stopping my heart-stifling the economy

and choking my mind-stifling the economy

though you will give some assistance-your taxes are used for social services

some would just have me burned-referring to those who "burn" their money away

please give it some sense-cents=sense hehe

and claim what you've earned-claim your income on your tax returns

Do you know what I have?

Or are you just dumb?-I don't really think you're dumb, I just needed to rhyme with outcome

If I'm one you can save,-save your money, the narrator here is your money.

you can change the outcome.-outcome->income

yes
