RICH OR POOR
 
Rise and fall, is America going the way of Rome?
Is American government following the ways of nome.?
Can we resupply America`s gold supply from Nome?
How many more tax dollars will our government spend?

Only the 2012 election will tell if we are serious.
Republicans win, the Democrats will be furious.

People get ready for what will happen next.
Only God knows. But no matter what, we will be vexed.
Our priorities are so diverse in this world we live in.
Republicans, Democrats and independent are striving.
