And I just sit here poking on these computer keys….. Love this early retirement.
are you a proud leach? is this what you are saying?
Or did i get it wrong?
He’s talking about those who never work and continue to have a better lifestyle than many out there working their assesss off in order to just get buy.
You got it wrong…it’s called sarcastic satire.
“Lazy American Dream” sums up so many loafers in this country, living off of the rest of us.
Debra…
Troy, love your music, hate the message because it’s too true. Let’s learn again how to be the innovative people that founded America…
These wetbacks are coming into our country and stealing our jobs. And the tyrannical politicians are letting them do it, obozo especially. They’re letting foreign interests take over this country. obozo’s a foreigner himself — a foreign dictator. We, the people, realize that we’re being taken over when you can walk out your door and someone is talking to you and you can’t even understand the language. And when you call a government agency the first thing you hear is a foreign language like Spanish or whatever. You know we are being taken over. You know you’ve been taken over when the U.S. Post Office sends you foreign language tapes and it’s mandated that you learn that language. When you go to your city, county or federal buildings and you see a foreign flag flying you know this country is in foreign hands. These foreigners can get food stamps, medicaid, etc. easier than American citizens. So, what does that tell you about America? We’ve been sold out. See website: http://www.haasstrep68.com page 4 for the history of treason and how you can help remove obozo from office.
I realize that this song is about people who do NOT want to work, or come here illegally and get free hand outs, but there ARE people out here that are on SNAP, EBT, and Medicaid/meicare that have never been on it before; but thanks to the economy they are now. To many, good hard working people, having to be on these programs is disgraceful and depressing. I know…Because I have Been there years ago! The song is true about the other kind of people, but I am sure it doesn’t make the “Have to” people feel very good about their situation. Too bad someone can’t come up with a song about the OTHER people on welfare. The NOT lazy people on Welfare. It surprises me that I am writing this as I am one of those people who speak up about lazy NO-Working people on welfare. But now days there are SO many on welfare that don’t really have a choice and Really DON’T want to be there, but can not find work. It is really SAD that our country has gotten this bad economically.! And it is even MORE sad that the people who WORK for the Govt. don’t DO something to HELP…like that Pipeline that would bring jobs, opening up drilling, reduce some of the regulations that hold back NEW businesses! SECURE our BODERS!!! And NUMBER one on the LIST of things Govt. could do to help employment “QUIT OUT SOURCING JOBS!!!!!!” Pres. Obama my question to YOU is why can’t you talk to your buddy at GE and threaten HIM to bring back jobs to America like you threatened Congress to pass your USELESS HealthCare TAX!!!!
Here’s another thought that should be looked into.
RICO act. Well, it looks to me like congress in its entirety and every person that works in it, the white house and every single person that works in it and draws federal paychecks, the justice department and every single person that works directly or indirectly and every single department there-in, and every single employee of the federal government of the United States of America regardless of job description is and has been involved criminal activity as an organization and every member of congress, everybody that works in the white house and the justice department, every single worker for the federal government at every level should be arrested and charged under the RICO act as an ongoing criminal organization. Just like the drug dealers and anybody else that has been charged under that act. There Crimes will start with Treason. They have been lying, stealing and cheating the Natural Born Citizens of the United States of America. I can’t see any difference between them and the Mafia, if there ever was such a thing, or Motorcycle “Gangs”, or Gun Smugglers, Drug Smugglers or any RICO defined organization. When convicted ‘All’ their assets and I mean everything they own should be confiscated and put in the general fund to help the needy Natural Born Citizens of the United States of America. Everything they have was derived from their criminal activity while working in the Criminal Organization we know as the Federal Government. That includes all of their kids’ stuff and of course the wives and mistresses property. Seize; confiscate all property of any description. Freeze all bank accounts. Their sentences after a quick trial and conviction will be Life in, General Population, Prison without the possibility of Parole. Creation of construction jobs for a lot of new prisons for these poor folks. Give the sons and daughters the choice of Prison for life or Front Line Combat Positions. Well, they get a choice. Then we can go after the middlemen that were involved in defense procurement that were instrumental in ripping off the taxpayers for the last 75 years and we can prosecute the dead criminals posthumously
great song love it
And why is it that Rednecks would not like his word? I kind of felt like he was talking about illegal aliens and blacks. Maybe I missed something.
