Here is a poem published in the New York Daily News on Friday, November 4, 1949 by Congressman Clarence J. Brown (R, GA). It is titled "Ode to the Welfare State." Harry Truman was President back then and he was a Democrat from Missouri. This poem appeared in both the Congressional Record and the newspaper the day after President Truman gave a "pie-for-everybody" speech on the radio.
It's short, sweet, and to the point and has a familiar ring to it, as follows:
Democratic Dialog
Father must I go to work?
No, my lucky son.
We're living on Easy Street
On dough from Washington.
We've left it up to Uncle Sam,
So don't get exercised.
Nobody has to give a damn--
We've all been subsidized.
But if Sam treats us all so well
And feeds us milk and honey,
Please, daddy, tell me what the hell
He's going to use for money?
Don't worry Bub, there's no a hitch
In this here noble plan---
He simply soaks the filthy rich
And helps the common man.
But father, won't there come a time
When they run out of cash
And we have left them not a dime
When things will go to smash?
My faith in you is shrinking, son,
You nosy little brat;
You do too damn much thinking, son,
To be a Democrat.
Learn From The Past
Shouldn't we be smart and learn from past mistakes? Does it make any sense to repeat failed policies over and over again like the current administration? Take from the rich and give to those who don't want to work. Why should they work when the government gives things to them? That's why they dumped Truman!
Don't you see the TRUTH behind this message? America is truly doomed if we re-elect Obama!
