Don’t Label Me Upper Middle Class!

 

Once I was upset to be called upper middle class

Now that class is no more.

Today I wear the badge of the underdog: America’s Poor

In Old shoes old clothes shopping meagerly at grocery store sales.

What has happenned to this country?

Where have all the opportunities gone?

Where is all the manufacturing and the jobs?

What the hell happenned to the garment industry?

Can’t find one stich made here in the good ole USA.

Money is flying out of our borders each day while Americans are starving.

No thank you for these new world wide trade agreements.

I’m all for helping the downtrodden of the world

Please  don’t get me wrong

BUT

Clarity and Charity should begin at home

Do not want a hand out..

hoping for a step back intime to when this country could support itself and then help other nations.

how about that?

I wish I were upper middle class again.
