I think this song is about President Lyndon B. Johnson domestic programs, which were named the Great Society. The album Freak Out! was released in 1966. "Your schools that do not teach"; Elementary & Secondary Education Act and the Higher Education Act were passed in 1965."You saw their clothes and then you cried:THOSE HUNGRY FREAKS, DADDY!"; Food Stamp Act of 1964.
Mister America can either be a reference to Uncle Sam or the President LBJ. I also think this was not only a criticism of the president, but of the country itself during this time period.
It could go back all the way to FDR and the New Deal. The creation of Social Security et al. Very good comment especially about The Education Act. Mr. America, kind of speaks for itself, doesn't it?
