Ode to the Welfare state -- Democrat Dialog (1949) NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, NOVEMBER 4, 1949 Quote: DEMOCRATIC DIALOG Father, must I go to work? No, my lucky son. We're living now on Easy Street On dough from Washington We've left it up to Uncle Sam so don't get exercised. Nobody has to give a damn We've all been subsidized. But if Sam treats us all so well And feeds us milk and honey, Please, daddy, tell me what the hell He's going to use for money. Don't worry, bub, there's not a hitch In this here noble plan He simply soaks the filthy rich And helps the common man. But, father, won't there come a time When they run out of cash And we have left them not a dime When things will go to smash? My faith in you is shrinking, son, You nosy little brat; You do too damn much thinking, son, To be a Democrat. print text source
