Once I was upset to be called upper middle class<\/p>\n
Now that class is no more.<\/p>\n
Today I wear the badge of the underdog:\u00a0America’s Poor<\/p>\n
In Old shoes old clothes shopping meagerly at grocery store sales.<\/p>\n
What has happenned to this country?<\/p>\n
Where have all the opportunities gone?<\/p>\n
Where is all the manufacturing and the jobs?<\/p>\n
What the hell happenned to the garment industry?<\/p>\n
Can’t find one stich made here in the good ole USA.<\/p>\n
Money is flying out of our borders each day while Americans are starving.<\/p>\n
No thank you for these new world wide trade agreements.<\/p>\n
I’m all for helping the downtrodden of the world<\/p>\n
Please \u00a0don’t get me wrong<\/p>\n
BUT<\/p>\n
Clarity and Charity should begin at home<\/p>\n
Do not want a hand out..<\/p>\n
hoping for a step back intime to when this country could support itself and then help other nations.<\/p>\n
how about that?<\/p>\n
I wish I were upper middle class again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
