In  America  today  the  polticians  play<br>
Each   and   everyone   their  own   little   games<br>
While   the   Congress   and   the   Senate, <br>
clap  each   other on  the  back   and  cheer<br>
for  give ing  each  other raises<br>
when   they   are   already  over  payed<br>
and   with   all   their awesome  perks <br>
that   are  making   them   richer day by day.<br>
<br>
The  Teachers   go   on   strike <br>
because   they   are   under  paid<br>
and   the   children   stay   home<br>
and  learn   not  -  but get  to  play<br>
<br>
Meanwhile   the   rest of  the   Americans  <br>
The   poor   and   lower  middle   class   too  are<br>
trying   to survive   while   hoping  for better days .<br>
While    their   tax  money   is   being   frettered away<br>
on  meanigless   expenses   as   the   politicians   play.<br>
<br>
The   Presidaent  is  dreaming  of   a   way<br>
to  win  a  war which   sucks up more  money  along  the  way,<br>
not  to mention  all   the  lost  lives - of  Loved  ones every  day<br>
<br>
Meanwhile  cver  the  prevailing  years  <br>
the  money  from   Social   Security <br>
  has   been   siphoned  away , while   politiacians   play<br>
</p>
<p>
All   the   poor   and   the  lower  middle class,<br>
the   retired   and   disabled    have   to   pay.<br>
And  beg  for enough  money   to survive   on   each  and everyday <br>
They  can  not  get over $685.00 apiece   each   month<br>
and  if  they move  in  together then   half   of  that  money  is  taken  away<br>
the   poverty level  is  set at  $1,200.00   a month  or something close to it anyway <br>
 that  is  such  a  joke  when  you are  poor today - but it sounds  good on paper any oh way<br>
<br>
Instead   of   giving   raises   to   the   teachers   and   public officials  <br>
 lower   on   the   rung  - those   who   really  need  them - don't you know<br>
and  raising   the  rates  for education   and  health care<br>
And  giving  those  on  Social Security and  Disability <br>
enough   to   actually  live  on  <br>
 They did  work  while  they  were  able ,<br>
 &amp;  often  at  demeaning  jobs that  no one  else  would  do <br>
or even  think  of  getting   and  would  not  have  stayed  at  any oh way <br>
but  they are  still  Americans  and important  as any other3/16/2007<br>
<br>
The politicians play their games <br>
While  working  for  the   people  and their country <br>
it just seems  their taking  all that they can get<br>
and busting  up our countrys   hopes and dreams <br>
of  everyone  having  enough  not  to  have  to  do without<br>
<br>
Maybe   if    all   of   them   got   together and   took   20% percent <br>
 off  of  any one  making   over  $75,000.00  a   year<br>
both   working   and   retired -  All   the   Politicians   &amp; retired ones<br>
including   the  Presidents   and   ex Presidents   too<br>
and  divided  that  money  between   Social Security, Disability,   <br>
Raises for Teachers    &amp;   lower  paid  Public  officials  too<br>
Education,  and   Health Care   then   their  would   be   enough   for all<br>
If   they   could   just   get   past   their greed   and   think   of   the   people   too<br>
Then   truly   our Country   would   be   back   to   i t's   Golden   Days.<br>
Living   up   to   the   Dreams   of   our Forefathers again<br>
The   Greatest   Country   Once   More<br>
Both  in  Heart  and  in  Men  <br>
Then  maybe   God   would   Smile   on   us   once  again</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FSatire%2FPoliticians-and-Americans.98214"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FSatire%2FPoliticians-and-Americans.98214" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
