The Heist of the USA

The cup of the few filled to overflowing.

Greed driven largess, steadily growing.

The Peoples’ cup loses steady streams.

The few snatch democracy’s dreams.

PRESTIGE OF THE SENATE TAKES ANOTHER BLOW

Confidence in Congress at an all-time low.

Prestige of the Senate takes another blow.

Fiscal Cliff Medicare $500 million Heist revealed.

Taken from Medicare and given to the “well -heeled’

A Fiscal Cliff “negotiated provision buried deep.

Hidden where the American public could not see.

Whodunit? No one knows, or they dare not say.

That we never find out they hope and pray.

GOTO: Fiscal Footnote: Big Senate Gift to Drug Maker http://nyti.ms/T24INK

"Amgen has deep financial and political ties to lawmakers like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, and Senators Max Baucus, Democrat of Montana, and Orrin G. Hatch, Republican of Utah, who hold heavy sway over Medicare payment policy as the leaders of the Finance Committee."

THE MEDICARE/FISCAL CLIFF $500 MILLION DOLLAR ROBBERY

Once called a gift to emphasize the recipient.

In reality a covert robbery, bold and efficient.

$500 million robbed from senior citizens’ Medicare.

Of Senators McConnell, Hatch and Baucus we must beware.

These three U.S. Senators must be held accountable.

Of all the Senate’s tricks they are knowledgeable.

With 94 combined years of Senate experience,

Can these three Senators pretend ignorance?

Three U.S. Senators at the pinnacle of their careers,

What did they know and when did they know it.?

Investigations needed to quell senior citizens' fears.

A mystery to be resolved, in the U.S. Senate whodunit.

A COMBINED 94 YEARS OF SENATE EXPERIENCE

Of Hatch, McConnell AND Baucus beware.

They know all the Senate’s tricks.

$500 million bilked from Medicare.

A provision buried deep was a gift.

IMPEACH RIGHT WING ACTIVIST SCOTUS JUDGES

Deep anxiety activist SCOTUS Judges  bring.

The SCOTUS should be expanded to fifteen.

Three or Four SCOTUS Judges ripe for impeachment.

114th Progressive Congress can consider indictment.

Democracy is Silenced When Money Speaks.

Polling rates U.S. Congress as 85% unfavorable.

Corporations are people, and money is speech.

Corporations owning Congress is quite affordable.

Democracy is silenced when money speaks.

Balancing The Budget on the Backs of the Poor

While they balance the budget on the backs of the poor.

We have a revenue problem our Republican friends ignore.

Enormously profitable corporations pay no taxes then get rebates.

Enormously wealthy citizens pay taxes at the lowest rates.
