Well, I can't believe another year has gone by, and here it is again, the 4th of July.

65% of the American people celebrate the 4th of July without a clue to what it's about. They shoot off their fireworks, barbeque, and drink beer until they pass out.

Well that's not how I see it, that way of thinking is not for me. The cost of living in the U.S. is high and taxes are too, only in death are we really free.

The rich get richer, while the poor barely make it. If you do get ahead with a dollar or two, the I.R.S sends someone to take it.

Well I for one am sick of the way the government treats everyone. They can take your money, take your land, hell they've already taken your gun.

I want the government to stop sucking up to the enemy and stop sending them our money as if it was free, and if they've got so much they can send some to me.

Now I don't know about everyone else, but by the information I just got, don't tell me how to raise my kids, when the way the president's raising their's ain't so hot.

I would like to see the government help some poor people get back on their feet. Because they have to spend so much of their check on medicine they can only afford dog food to eat.

Stop taking and give back a little to the people who built this nation. So they will have a few dollars to put in their tanks when they pull into a service station.

So set off your fireworks, drink your beer, and yell your heads off in celebration. But our government will go on, kissing the enemy's ass, and we'll kiss the government's ass in return.

And tell ourselves were a free nation. We don't fight back, we just walk around, doing a slow burn. While the government does a shuck and jive, taking half of everything we earn.

The government did the red man, and then they did the black man, so it's no longer the red, white, and blue. It's not... but should be, the red, black, and white, because now they're doing the white man too.

Only in America can this happen!
Happy 4th of July to you.
