I love when people hear say something is "self explanatory" on this site. If songs were self explanatory, would there be a wiki sight?
What confuses me about this song is the tone. Is it condescending towards those on welfare or is is empathetic to them? Not clear to me. Obvious jab at Limbaugh speaks empathy, but the song itself stereotypes welfare recipients in a way that could be very condescending. But the music is so light hearted its hard to reconcile condensention with the music.

Dunno, more ?s than answers
@WafaringStgr Personally I think the tone is sympathetic.
