Never say you are 'not concerned' with your suffering neighbor.
Of course, you are; we all are, all good Christians are! Belabor
Not the stats that almost half our citizenry does not pay,
Could not or need not pay the Federal Income tax; Just say-
Here is what I plan to do if given your full trust and favor:-
A less intrusive central government, fewer bureaucrats,
Lower taxes, and no more loopholes for corporate fat cats;
A budget plan to effectively reduce our borrowings.
No more mere politesse 'gainst terrorist groups, no more warnings...
Claim, for every innocent life lost, a thousand from our foes,
Egregious killers whom even their own Deity disavows!
(The penultimate line above may need some expatiation:-
I would prefer that a thousand apologies, regrets, tears,
maybe epiphanies/illumined perceptions be our recompense from
our enemies. But as my Uncle Zaling once said, "By far, it is
more compassionate to kill a dog maddened by rabies than to let
it go free and spread its contagion.")
