Things haven't changed much since 1949

[bucfan64 309]

This is a scan of a newspaper column from 1949. Only thing different from then and now is we can add the Repubs to this poetic verse.

 

Caption reads:

 

Father, must I go to work?

No, my lucky son.

We're living now on Easy Street.

On Dough from Washington!

 

We've left it up to Uncle Sam

So don't get exercised,

Nobody has to give a Damn,

We've all been subsidized.

 

But, if Sam treats us all so well,

and feeds us Milk and Honey

Please, Daddy tell me what the Hell,

He's going to use for money.

 

Don't worry bub there's not a hitch

In this here noble plan------

He simply soaks the filthy rich

and helps the common man

 

But, father won't there come a time,

when they run out of cash

and we have left them not a dime

When things will go to smash?

 

My faith in you is shrinking son,

you nosy little brat,

You do too much damn thinking son,

to be a Democrat!
