How did we get here?

Desert Storm
a new war
for a new generation
to watch on TV

In comes the nineties
and the illiusion of
prosperity
Outsourcing, globatization and trade treaties
Middle Eastern Boys join jihad
to escape proverty

A new century
Y2K and a stolen presidency
The high court sets a precedent
Bush wins
and then its 9-11

What de we want ?
Oil
When do we want it?
Now!
How do we get it?

Invade a country
where the oil would be particularly free
claim to do it in the name of
democracy
Shock & Awe
When the real enemy
joins the occupancy

Fight a war
Lower taxes
Hide the true cost
from the massess
Ignore the Geneva Convention
Violate the 4th amendment

Be a good American
Go on a shopping spree
What say you?
Your job was shipped overseas
No problem
Tap into your home equity

Speculation
Deregulation
False Standard and Poor ratings
Oil, tech and housing bubbles
Smoke & Mirrors with the
paper shuffle

Yes we can
Elect the first Black President
Born to a mother from
the heartland
