"Don't you know
They're talkin' bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion "
-Tracy Chapman
If I hear one more "have" whining about the "have nots," I will scream. Isn't it enough that we live in a country where social mobility is a joke? Must you take the last shards of pride and self respect from us? The budget that passed in Congress yesterday was a thinly veiled slap in the face for the poor of the USA. You can't get blood from a turnip. Already the leaders elected to represent us have squeezed us dry, while their pundits rub salt in our festering wounds. This is not my country. I cannot afford to be an American any longer. Screw Congress, screw Fox News, and screw whole greedy country!
