The President of the United States
likes to tell people what we need to do.
This is important since he is only
supposed to be doing the job of a public servant.
Oh, how difficult it must be
sitting in the oval office,
listening to all those problems,
having to make those hard decisions.
Deciding to murder people in other countries,
so that their interests might be protected.
Deciding to cut back on a family receiving $250 per month,
so that affluent people receive dividends on their bonds.
But how can he make these decisions,
never knowing what it means to work for a living?
How can he expect others to sacrifice,
when he is terrified of holding down a real job?
The President needs to get a minimum wage job,
and experience the humiliation of what that means.
He needs to understand what it means to provide
for a family with that income.
The President needs to do production work in a factory,
laboring every minute at a dangerous job,
so that someone else might have
more money than they could ever use.
The President needs to work as a farm laborer,
breaking his back under the hot sun,
so that others might have food to eat,
while he barely receives enough to sustain life.
The President needs to see
what it means when his child is hungry.
Maybe then he would think twice about saying
that this is the bastion of democracy in the world.
The President needs to look for a real job,
then get rejected time after time,
and return home to think about
how he will pay his bills.
Yes, the President needs to get a real job,
to see how the people live who he supposedly represents.
I think that if he did this, it is possible,
that he would have a change of heart.
Instead of doing everything in his power
to insure that the wealthy have more than they can use,
he might think about working so that
the majority might have better lives.
Today, the President will not do this,
instead, he wants to build a “bridge to the future.”
This is why he needs to get a real job
and learn what it means to work for a living.
