The Deserving Ones

Senator Chuck Grassley from Iowa

Says that only the wealthy deserve

Major cuts in taxes. Don't

His callous comments hit a nerve?

 

Hard-working Americans

Deserve no breaks, for they choose

To spend their money foolishly

On--get this!--women, movies, and booze.

 

But rich Americans, he maintains,

Are the ones always investing

And not spending every penny.

He's dead serious and NOT jesting.

 

People like him are running this country

With vile contempt and tunnel vision,

Their idiocy and audacity

Affecting our lives with each decision.
