Robin Hood in Reverse

Instead of fixing Obamacare,

Republicans are making it worse.

They want to play Robin Hood,

But they are playing the role in reverse.

 

Wanting to come to someone's rescue,

They've come up with a major switch

By robbing money from the poor

And giving that money to the rich.

 

Cutting Medicaid by billions

Of dollars over the next ten years

Will hurt the people who need the money

The most. The plan deserves no cheers.

 

To give 880 billion

Dollars in tax cuts to those with wealth

Shows that many Republicans care

More about money than people's health.

 

Experts predict that over a decade

Twenty-four million people will lose

Their health insurance, which is not

Very reassuring news.

 

As usual, the elderly

And poor will be the hardest hit.

People have to raise their voices.

We have the right to throw a fit.

 

So raise your fist in protest while

Ryan and his merry men

With hypocritical smiles on their faces

All come riding through the glen.
