So There

Argue, just like a kid, you’re dealing with a politician

So There

He said, I’m here to get you outta jail,
You’re free to go without any bail,

Hey, what’s up; is this the new deal,
Where are you from ;is this for real,

Yes I’m with the government, you knew that no doubt,
Got twenty applications, you can fill out,

Jobs are plentiful especially around here,
Lotta fast food joints and spots that sell beer,

Hey I don’t wanna work, my stem check is due ,
I’m rollin in the dough, What’s it to you?

How come you hitting me, to take on a job,
I’ll just have to pay taxes for you guys to rob,

Feller we need you , we only take some,
Our government cain’t function without an income,

We cain’t run on empty, what do you expect?
You’ll get it all back, in the trickle down effect,

Well I thank you for the freebeeies, but you made the mess,
Every policy you write is just a knee jerk guess,

One more Bond and two more taxes, sure ain’t the thing to do
And the cows‘ll all be coming home when the interest is due,

You’re shining us folks with your economy spiel,
But folks aren’t blinded and the high costs are real,

I’m sittin on my butt because our government theft is awful,
And everything that I do you’re declaring unlawful,

I was born at night but not last night,and your buzz words I cain’t see,
Call your programs what you like, they’re all Greek to me,

My opinion I’ll express in public, but for your answer Sonny,
Any trickle down at my age has nothing to do with money !

So There !!

If you did not exist, Sir Thomas,
we would have to invent you.
And that is no trickle down!

It was all the usual government complaints. I tend to agree having read the Federal Register a few times, but gladly, not anymore.

Until I reached the last line. And I had to chuckle in mighty agreement with what happens when we reach the end of that Eagle shitting they call social insecurity unless you have an IRA or rental property to supplement the trickle-down.

Hey, Tom, you're getting all politico-economical here, hard to figure out on whose side you're rooting or cheering or cussing. Guess you're on the "right" side as usual: the beer-quaffing bank-leering side or am I on the wrong shore my legs stuck in the mire? - as usual... You need to put this in a specially partitioned section in your book to make sense, I think...
