Move over Iraq and North Korea. Bush has announced he’s hiring more warriors to investigate the American poor. They might be guilty of getting a free lunch or two. He suspects the poor are committing fraud and getting more than they deserve – a penny here, a penny there.
It doesn’t matter to him or the more affluent, that most of our voluntary military comes from this segment of society commonly referred to as the poor. Let’s make sure we keep those soldiers coming so that the well-to-do does not have to sacrifice their children to ugly wars. Let’s make the poor stay poor by keeping a hand on them instead of a hand up. Mr. Bush and the wealthy he represents make sure that for most Americans the “American dream” is just that – a dream.
