\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

What the hell in going down?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Middle class is in the ground.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They have buried us for good.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Goodbye to our neighborhood.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Smash and slash is the way.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

We see it happening every day.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Smash taxes then slash your pay.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Lower class has nothing to say.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Middle class is \u00a0extinct at last.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Can\u2019t buy paper to wipe your ass.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It is the very rich and lower class.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Basically the rich and the trash.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Is this \u201cMake America Great?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They take everything you make.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

There needs to be real change.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Someone new to take the reins.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Or,—- has it all gone too far?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

No way to reverse this car.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Rapidly racing to destruction.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

No way to bring a disruption.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Bend down and kiss it goodbye.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Not worth giving it a try.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The big \u201cS\u201d is coming on strong.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Socialism is definitely wrong.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Yet, it seems, full steam ahead<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

is the only thought in people\u2019s heads.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

We should learn from our mistakes.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

But, we don\u2019t have what it takes.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Roll over in your graves Republic Founders.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Your beautiful dream now flounders.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
