Pied Piper

There was a Pied Piper who said We live in the greatest country in the world. Help me change it!

*And the people said, Change is good!

Then he said, We are going to tax the rich fat-cats,

*And the people said, Sock it to them!

and redistribute their wealth.

*And the people said, Show me the money!

And then he said, Redistribution of wealth is good for everybody

*And Joe the plumber said, “Are you kidding me?

And Joes personal records were hacked and publicized.

*And one lone reporter asked, Isnt that Marxist policy?

And she was banished from the kingdom!

Then someone asked, With no foreign relations experience, how will you deal with radical terrorists?

And the Pied Piper said, Simple. Ill sit down and talk with them and show them how nice we really are and theyll forget that they ever wanted to kill us all!

Then the Pied Piper said, Ill give 95% of you lower taxes.

*And one, lone voice said, But 40% of us dont pay ANY taxes!”

So the Pied Piper said, Then Ill give you some of the taxes the fat-cats pay!

*And the people said, Show me the money!

Then the Pied Piper said, Ill tax your Capital Gains when you sell your homes!

*And the people yawned and the slumping housing market collapsed.

And he said, Ill mandate employer- funded health care for EVERY worker and raise the minimum wage.

*And the people said, Gimme some of that!

Then he said, Ill penalize employers who ship jobs overseas.

*And the people said, Wheres my rebate check?

Then the Pied Piper actually said, Ill bankrupt the coal industry and electricity rates will skyrocket!

*And the people said, Coal is dirty, coal is evil, no more coal! But we dont care for that part about higher electric rates.

So the Pied Piper said, Not to worry. If your rebate isnt enough to cover your expenses, well bail you out. Just sign up with ACORN and your troubles are over! Then he said, illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted. Lets grant them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches, free medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing

*And the people said, Ole`! Bravo! And they made him King!

And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers. Others simply gave up and went out of business and the economy slowed even further. Then the Pied Piper said, I am the Messiah and Im here to save you! Well just print more money so everyone will have enough! But our foreign trading partners said, Wait a minute. Your dollar isnt worth what it was. Youll have to pay more.

*And the people said, Wait a minute. Thats not fair!

And the world said, Neither are these other, idiotic programs youve embraced. Youve become a Socialist state and a second-rate power. Now youll play by our rules!

*And the people said, What have we done?

But it was too late.

If you think this is a fairy tale, open your eyes and ears. Its happening RIGHT NOW!


If this wasn't true it would actually be very funny. But I am sorry to say there is nothing funny about the way things are going in our country right now. I wish I knew what to do to help make a change in the turn of events but I have no clue.
