Welfare for the Wealthy Thieves

"Welfare for the Wealthy Thieves."

They made bad loans to those who qualified for
better ones loans they couldn't afford to pay.
Now there are pieces of the American illusion
being foreclosed on everyday.
They never had a chance the deck was stacked
against them but no one bailing them out.
Point blank they were given Sucker loans
the banks knew they couldn't pay without a doubt.
Now those who were Rich got Wealthy stealing
once again from the poor.
Wall Street Millionaires and Billionaires need a
bail out so the greedy bastards could steal some more.
Even Obama and McCain voted for it wake up
the Electoral College votes them in so they don't need you.
America is for the rich and powerful but Babylon
is starting to fall and will take down the wicked too.
Welfare for the Wealthy and wicked is all it is
a reward for failure of sorts.
While many are on the verge of losing their homes
and their life savings dying from broken hearts.
You may have a little something today but who
knows how they're going to steal it from you tomorrow.
America has become the home of the scared and the
gullible where each day for the poor brings more sorrow.
It is sad how so many people are still in the dark
and believe this country has their best in mind.
But the truth is the wealthy and the rich don't
give a darn about you in fact you could kiss their behind.
All you are is taxes that they steal and they need
you to work to take care of them also.
When you pay taxes you are supporting the rich
so they themselves don't have don't you know.
Our taxes are Welfare for the rich who are not going
to contribute a dime to the bail out of Wall Street.
For the crooked at the top who make the big bucks
life in America when everyone else is suffering is sweet.
A trillion dollar bail out for the rich and the homes of
the poor will soon be taken away from them.
The wealthy may have their Heaven on earth now
but their Hell is coming quickly their lives will turn grim.
