THE POLITICS OF ECONOMIC INEQUALITY: IDIOT AMERICA 2

The politics of inequality
Is aided by the certitude
That in a democratic polity
You trick the voters or you’re screwed:
Broke by illegal immigration;
Surmounted with gay liberation-
This is the stuff of culture wars
Turns us rampaging carnivores.
And so we make no forward motion
Against the corporations which
Have hooked us with their bait-and-switch.
What? Lost your job? It’s over ocean?
Don’t blame some poormouth CEO:
Go kill a gay from Mexico.
