Utopia For Millionaires

He earned over a million in 2016
Then he did it again in 2017...
  
  Did he redistribute his earnings to the poor
  Did he sacrifice any creature comforts to cure
    All the world's ills, which we know --
    'Cos Comrade Bernie's told us so --

Requires replacing evil capitalist societies
With Comrade Bernie's socialist pieties

I fight with myself daily to try and convince myself that not everyone in Washington is corrupt; I always lose the battle. A part of me keeps hoping there's at least one good human being there...is there?

There IS! --- YOU! ... Actually, in D.C. there's no chance for anyone. I was close with a wonderful man who became a Rep from Illinois in the House within the last 8 years. He is now unrecognizable to me: He has abandoned every shred of everything he ever stood for, and is now utterly spineless. It's a crying shame...

Some people are only generous with other people's money. So sad. Have great day my friend.

Bernie is the Robin Hood of the 21st century---except that he's gotten a bit old to wear those green tights! LOL. :) gw

I don't know enough about US politics, but the power of this poem shines a painfully blinding light. x

Frankly, I don't know enough either. (Oh, rats. I wasn't supposed to blow my cover). At any rate, always glad to see your viewpoint! :) gw
