Sound Bites

written by Emma Beverage 1/23/06

The Average CEO makes 431 times
more money, than
their laborers make.

Fifty-two laws were passed last year
across the United States that limited
abortion in some manner.

Medicaid is now being "privatized."
Hundreds of private companies
are taking over the program,

and you cannot change your provider
once you have chosen one.
Privatizing our jails too!

What is Freedom?
Where is Our Freedom?

Privatizing will improve things for
the common people.
Like it improved things

For the common people when
They broke Ma Bell up?
For the common good?

Phones and phone services
Skyrocketed
for the common good!

Mercenaries are fighting
in Iraq for four-hundred
dollars a day.

Hillary Clinton said that
"President Bush is
running this country, like a
plantation; you know what I mean.
I think she is right.

The kitchen slave
thinks that they are better
than the field slave.

The light colored slaves
think they are better
than the darker slaves.

The personal servant slaves
think they are better than
everybody… better than e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e!

They be rubbing elbows with
the master. And in the eyes
of the master, we are all slaves.

A laborer gets his five minutes of fame
on TV. He says, "that they have
been doing this since the Roman times.

The king, the king he always gets everything."
Our President breaks the law
as if there were no constitution.

The CEO makes hundreds
more than the common laborer who
does his grunt work.

How much money would it take
for you to sell your soul?
Make it okay to exploit

your brothers and sisters
for the master. Steal the land
for the common good, after a disaster.

It is all for the common good all right!
It be right commonly good,
for the Big Corporations and their CEO's.
