"While middle class families have been playing by the rules, living up to their responsibilities as neighbors and citizens, those at the commanding heights of our economy have not. There’s nothing wrong with making money, but there is something wrong when we allow the playing field to be tilted so far in the favor of so few.”
A New Era of Responsibility, the President’s Budget, page 5
Some people believe that pure evil’s alive
And our modern-day culture allows it to thrive.
There’s Hitler, Saddam – throw in Idi Amin --
As proof that the Devil’s appeared on the scene.
But now there’s a new evil presence, we fear,
So call Father Merrin, THE WEALTHY are here!
It’s the Father we know from “The Exorcist” fame,
who cast out the demon by calling its name.
Obama must think he’s reprising that role
By blaming THE WEALTHY for taking a toll
for “possessing” too much of American treasure
And bashing the weak with a devilish pleasure!
The Exorcist works with a Church-approved script;
Our leader Obama is likewise equipped
Though Barack gets his cues from the Socialist Bible;
At any one moment a person is liable
To distinguish a telltale collective expression --
Like “level the field” – to expose his obsession.
The Muse doesn’t know if he’s “wealthy” or not;
He suspects that he is, since he’s happily got
A nice home and a job (though he’s selfly-employed),
A lifestyle we guess makes Obama annoyed,
but we know our new Prez will take pains to remind him
He owes a big chunk to the people “behind” him.
This demonization of wealth is quite scary;
Barack might think twice before trying to bury
all folks whose investments helped make this great nation.
Though class warfare is great as campaigning oration,
Now it’s written in stone as a Budget quotation!
Like the Exorcist facing a new altercation,
We’re facing these years with profound trepidation!
