MIDDLE CLASS REPUBLICANS:

THE NATION'S GREATEST SUCKERS

Middle class Republicans are the nation's greatest suckers.

Confused and depressed they ignored Democratic benefactors.

Many have lost their dreams, homes, savings and jobs.

What they have left the Reagan/Bush rat pack robs.

Republicans' war on the middle class is clearly evident.

Reagan/Bush racketeers, the Republicans staunchly represent.

The Republican middle class is the ruling class' pawn.

The Reagan/Bush racketeers plan to make the middle class gone.

Finding the occasional straw of truth awash

in a great ocean of confusion and bamboozle

requires intelligence, vigilance, dedication and courage.

But if we don't practice these tough habits of thought,

we cannot hope to solve the truly serious problems that face us

-- and we risk becoming a nation of suckers,

up for grabs by the next charlatan who comes along. (emphasis added)

-- CARL SAGAN, "The Fine Art of Baloney Detection," Parade, February 1, 1987
