American Scene - Bush 2001 to 2008

Outsource all labor
To our Chinese neighbor,
Then in quiet enjoyment
We'll gain cheap labor
Through unemployment
And if there are any
Idle workers in excess,
We'll send them to Iraq
Or some other mess
For the best business, by far
Is the industry of war,
Let's kill Social Security,
Medicare and Medicaid,
So the expensive old and weak
Will perish without aid
For they drain our money,
Let us rich get the honey,
We, who don't have to toil
For we own great industries,
Banks, stocks and deal in oil,
We also pay most taxes
To defend God, flag and soil,
Let middle classes and
The workers pay more tax
And save money when the
Welfare for the poor gets the ax,
But if the West goes down the drain
We'll go to Shanghai to seek new gain.
