Watch as Republican
members of Congress
Hammer out the
specifications
For tax cuts favoring the rich, along with
Giant cuts for
corporations.
Though economic
inequality
Reaches scary,
outlandish extremes,
A system rigged
against the majority
Shapes the
politicians' dreams.
Bogus studies,
lobbyists,
And lavish campaign
contributions
Sway our
politicians' efforts
To come up with
taxation solutions.
Tax havens,
loopholes, and dodges
Are great for you if
you are rich.
When you can avoid
paying taxes
On profits abroad,
you've found your niche.
If our taxation
system doesn't
Force people to pay
their fair share,
Education and social security
Will suffer, along
with Medicare
And Medicaid. If
that happens,
It's not difficult
to foretell
Who will benefit
most and who
Hasn't got a chance
in hell.
Do members of
Congress care about us?
I have to say that
it makes my blood boil
To watch them sell
what some people call
"Supply-side
snake oil."
Buy the snake oil if
you choose to.
Unless you're rich,
you'll regret it.
The system can screw
us royally,
But ONLY if the
voters let it.
