The poor you will always have with you-
We incent them to make more besides.
Then too, there’s the risk of inbreeding
as collective I.Q. starts to slide.
It started when life got too easy
and so many made Lazy their way.
Why bust your ***** and hustle?-
Others sit on theirs home every day.
It’s been noted that Democracy’s shelf life
is limited from its first day.
It begins to collapse when the people
elect demagogues who give stuff away.
People who vote for a living
outbreeding those who work for pay?
The results aren’t going to be pretty,
This tragedy ends just one way.
The labor participation rate in the United States is near an all time low as an ever shrinking working population is taxed to support retirees and people on the dole.
