Progressivism

The following quote is from JOHN ADAMS,.

"Government is instituted for the common good, for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people, and not for profit, honor, and private interest of any one man, family or class of men; therefore, the people alone have incontestable, unalienable and indefensible right to institute government, and reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity and happiness requires it."

PROGRESSIVISM

Behold a government created by our forefathers

To be made up of those elected

Who will serve our inalienable rights

With the laws that WE selected

They would see to our protection

Safety and prosperity

Uphold the freedom of our speech

With the utmost of integrity

There came the so called representatives

For their profit have become the whore

Of special interest groups

Who come knocking at their door

They settle in for life

Voting themselves the cushy perks

Why can't the people see

They make the voters look like jerks

Now why not throw in a so-called leader

With his socialistic tendencies

Who with promises of a life
of welfare

Will control their entities

Dancing at the end of strings

Controlled by rich and powerful men

Are the president and his minions

Charged to do our economy in

It all comes down to reality

That if the pursuit of happiness has become

People wallowing in self imposed poverty

Have let this government run

They run away with our liberty

As they take from those who dare to earn

And purposely break our economy

Roasting their marshmallows as we burn
