Thank You for Social Security
Thank you for Social Security A social solution to make one’s life more secure Receive peanuts as a paycheck until maturity Retrieve in old age, a bag of government manure
The I.R.S. says you’re an incompetent saver Your estate planning, they are sure, will be lax Follow guidelines, for proper fiscal behavior Get stuck with a, lethal federal tax
Each week a steep bite from your paycheck is taken To insure a future Social Security fund When unable to walk you will be forsaken Social security will be declared dead, empty and done
Conceived as a conscientious proposal It evolved in to a dubious federal plan Waste billions at the government’s slick disposal A personal play-fund, for our fun- loving, Uncle Sam
The economy in the Thirties was in such a muddle It took, Franklin Roosevelt, to bail us out Let’s pay for another ingenious Mid East proposal Don’t retire, Social Security will expire, no doubt
So thank you for Social Security Where did it go-Dear President Bill? An expensive, non-negotiable gratuity At least President Bill, provided us taxpayers, a cheap thrill
