Stases of "Fortunate Son"

The song "Fortunate Son" focuses on the facts, the consequences, action and jurisdiction of the stasis theory. Through facts, the song identifies that during the Vietnam War, men were drafted to fight in the war. "Ohh, they send you down to war, Lord...How much should we give...More! more!... If you are drafted you have to fight in the war- which is the consequence of being drafted. But the overall the definition, the song, is trying to explain is that certain people are excused from the draft- the "fortunate one[s]." They are the rich people's sons that paid their way out of being drafted like others.  So it just means that the "senator" and the  "millionaire" actually decide who gets drafted since they eliminated their sons from the draft- which means the poor people are left to fight the war. A war the that the "senator" created- congress has the power declare war according to the constitution. Even though it is not directed stated in the song, the band, Creedence Clearwater Revival wants the voice of the unheard to be heard and the bias in the drafting of men to be changed.
