Political Factoid

We followed the rules and lost out to those
who didn't:
  • We worked hard, did a good job, and
    got laid off.
     
  • We went to school, got good grades,
    graduated from college and could not
    find a job.
     
  • We served our country, suffered
    injuries, came home and could not find
    a job.
     
  • We saved our money, bought a house,
    and had it taken away from us.
     
  • We worked hard, saved for retirement,
    invested in America, and had
    Wall Street hucksters steal it from us.
     
  • We paid into Social Security and
    Medicare our entire working lives, and
    now the rich politicians want to deny us
    full benefits.
