Why do you hate *our freedom
There's a Vietnam Vet with a cardboard sign
Sitting there by the left turn line
The flag on his wheelchair flapping in the breeze
One leg missing and both hands free
No one?s paying much mind to him
The V.A. budget?s just stretched so thin
And now there's more coming back from the Mideast war
We can't make it here anymore
And that big ol? building was the textile mill
That fed our kids and it paid our bills
But they turned us out and they closed the doors
'Cause we can't make it here anymore
You see those pallets piled up on the loading dock
They're just gonna sit there ?til they rot
?Cause there's nothing to ship, nothing to pack
Just busted concrete and rusted tracks
Empty storefronts around the square
There's a needle in the gutter and glass everywhere
You don't come down here unless you're looking to score
We can't make it here anymore
The bar?s still open but man it?s slow
The tip jar?s light and the register?s low
The bartender don't have much to say
The regular crowd gets thinner each day
Some have maxed out all their credit cards
Some are working two jobs and living in cars
Minimum wage won't pay for a roof, won't pay for a drink
If you gotta have proof just try it yourself Mr. C.E.O.
See how far 5.15 an hour will go
Take a part time job at one your stores
I bet you can't make it here anymore
And there's a high school girl with a bourgeois dream
Just like the pictures in the magazine
She found on the floor of the laundromat
A woman with kids can forget all that
If she comes up pregnant what'll she do
Forget the career and forget about school
Can she live on faith? Live on hope?
High on Jesus or hooked on dope
When it?s way too late to just say no
You can't make it here anymore
Now I'm stocking shirts in the Wal-Mart store
Just like the ones we made before
?Cept this one came from Singapore
I guess we can't make it here anymore
Should I hate a people for the shade of their skin
Or the shape of their eyes or the shape I'm in
Should I hate ?em for having our jobs today
No I hate the men sent the jobs away
I can see them all now, they haunt my dreams
All lily white and squeaky clean
They've never known want, they'll never know need
Their shit don't stink and their kids won't bleed
Their kids won't bleed in their damn little war
And we can't make it here anymore
Will I work for food, will I die for oil
Will kill for power and to us the spoils
The billionaires get to pay less tax
The working poor get to fall through the cracks
So let ?em eat jellybeans let ?em eat cake
Let ?em eat shit, whatever it takes
They can join the Air Force or join the Corps
If they can't make it here anymore
So that's how it is, that's what we got
If the president wants to admit it or not
You can read it in the paper, read it on the wall
Hear it on the wind if you're listening at all
Get out of that limo, look us in the eye
Call us on the cell phone tell us all why
In Dayton Ohio or Portland Maine
Or a cotton gin out on the great high plains
That's done closed down along with the school
And the hospital and the swimming pool
Dust devils dance in the noonday heat
There's rats in the alley and trash in the street
Gang graffiti on a boxcar door
We can't make it here anymore

Nice....CIRCA 2005...how many decades can you blame on Trump?
Who was the last president to call out the homeless problem?...I dont recall either
Why do you try your best to limit my freedom.Why do you hate *our freedom
Why do you try your best to limit my freedom.
Trump supporters play the victim card on a daily basis.
Left wingers cry on a daily basis.
Says the guy who worships our president who throws temper tantrums on Twitter all day every day.
Says the guy who throws a temper tantrum all day every day.
There is no such thing as a pattern of coincedences.
If something is a strategic accident, it isn't an accident.
Am I reading into things? Is that the problem?
Also, it is better to remain silent and thought the fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Left wingers cry on a daily basis.
those are tears of laughter at trump & his delusional bootlickers. i'm sure that you WISH we were crying from sadness or anger though. lol. plus, a hell of a lot of us are conservative (former) GOP members mourning the disintegration of what USED to be a coherent and relevant political party. come on, dickhead, let me hear you scream "RINO" again. nothing tickles me more than asshats like you with their panties wadded up into their crotch...
Why do you try your best to limit my freedom.
no. the problem is in your brain.
Except everybody knew he was full of shit.That's refreshing....I think there is alot lost in translation with trump...
Almost like speaking a different language for some....
Example...in this last confrontation
That im sure had everyone on edge about how it was gonna play out...
Trump used loud,boisterous,bravado
Even false statements like we were gonna destroy their cultural sites...something trump knew was sacred and very dear to the Iranians
He used this hyperbole to strike at the heart and minds of an entire nation hell bent on hatred and wound up like two dollar watch for the death of America and Americans
And yet we intercepted transmissions that insured no Americans were to be targeted in the missle attack...
This tells you Trump owns them...
The Iranian leadership had no choice
But to strike or loose their entire hold of the people and thus the nation
They masturbated the masses and saved face with no blood shed or war
Terrorism is the ability to strike fear and uncertainty in the minds of masses for control or disruption....
But never back an opponent into a corner
Not erbody speaks trump..I get it
If you hate em...vote his ass out...
But he has shown that he run the show on half the cylinders.....make sure your choice can do the same
They will need too
