Liberal Leadership

Watching my country deteriorate Ethics and integrity they shut the door on Seeing no common sense on the Supreme Court bench Liberal leadership is an oxymoron They’ve taken all a working man makes And everything he will ever earn Then give it away in Federal Grants Like it was their money to burn They’ve created entitlement minded robots Waiting for their monthly check They’ve created chaos in Congress And made Social Security a wreck. In the 50's they decided that the witheld social security payments would be part of your gross income (not in the original plan) then decided to increase the amounts witheld. In the 60's they decided to put it into the general fund so they could access it at will. In the 70's with liberals in the executive office and congress decided that the immigrant Who never contributed to the "retirement " plan could access the money just by filling out forms. A massive war against the working man. God Help us in 2008.

Vince - You are so right about that - This country is in a mess and it's going to get a lot worse I think - The working class is the backbone of this country and they are just breaking our backbones in half - Even through my drug years when I was free I worked - always have and always will - Every empire in history has crumbled from with-in and I reckon its our turn - God help us

yes and it is only going to get worse, no matter who we have for a president. we need to do away with the Supreme Court, or at least take away a lot of their power. Congress is a joke. the federal grants are going to people who don't really need them. i agree with you. a nice poem with a lots of truth.
