“Land of the fees, home of the caged”

“O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?” is the last line of the first stanza of the U.S. national anthem. “Land of the fees, home of the caged” has been printed on several images.
 
“Land of the fees, Home of the caged. -Chris http://fb.me/2ILbLfUAH” was posted on Twitter by Cop Block on March 6, 2014. “LAND OF THE FEES, HOME OF THE CAGED FilmingCops.com” (shown on an image) was posted on Twitter by beogaz later on March 6, 2014. This message is the opposite of “land of the free and the home of the brave.”
   
     
Wikipedia: The Star-Spangled Banner
“The Star-Spangled Banner” is the national anthem of the United States of America. The lyrics come from “Defence of Fort McHenry”,[1] a poem written in 1814 by the 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet, Francis Scott Key, after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British Royal Navy ships in Chesapeake Bay during the Battle of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812.

Lyrics
O! say can you see by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

In the ‘Land of the Fees, and Home of the Caged,’ you’re treated better if you’re rich and guilty, than if you’re poor and innocent.
