One Fourth

and so mr. romney
mr. richie-rich-i’ve-got-a-kingdom-of-brainwashed-mormon-lunatics-writhing-in-exstasy-behind-my-every-word
romney
believes that
“the free market enterprise” is that which will save
the fall of the empire &
in yelling from the rooftops
“i believe in capitalism!”
justice
will
finally
prevail
in this crippled, disintegrating,
“democracy.”

what will mr. romney & others like him
who assert that business as usual is
working
say to the 21.9 million children in this country who now currently live in poverty?
 
¼ kids under the age of six
may beg to differ with his tyrannical exclamations,
and if they are in fact
“the future,”
how will they remember the choices made by imbeciles who think that
things are still
hunky-dory?

that is, assuming there will be anything left by the time they reach the age of
resistance.
