How did the U-nit-ed Statesget to… this place?

How is it that we now livein a fascist state?

The percent of our e-con-o-my

for the av’rage em-ploy-ee

is now a-bout the same as in

NINETEEN THIRTY THREE!

Compared to an employer

An em-ployee’s income

is now the same as it was in

THE Great De-pres-sion!

Poli-ti-cians always sayour e-con-o-myis OK.

What they mean is the fattest cats… have ev‘ry-thing their way!

For Billionaires who play

stock mar-kets ev‘ry day

the econ-o-my is just, dandy!

To hell with you and me!

When folks are in dire straits

it leads to fas-cis-m

’cause they’re desp‘rate for a change

despite where it comes from!

The situation we have now… is like… it was when

Hitler won e-lec-tions in… Germany back then.

The diff-rence-es today

is now it’s the USA

and ‘stead of Hitler, what we have

is an or-ange horse‘es A !

SAVE THE USA! CONVICT TRUMP & HIS THUGS!
