Representative Democracy


Where’s the Congressman speaks for me?
Democrats want to spend every penny I’ve got–
Republicans mean to see I don’t have a penny.
They’re all wealthy and well-fed,
they all have government health insurance
– I am poor, my diet meagre–
the insurance man shakes his head,
tells me I’m too sick to qualify for insurance!
