TAX REFORM


‘When mischief mortals bend their will’
To “tax reform” upon The Hill
We see with growing deja vu
‘The madness of many, for the gain of a few.’

 

‘Tax reform’ is just the ticket
Even though not strictly cricket.
Screw the poor, reward the rich
It’s so unfair, but life’s a bitch.

 

A trillion here a trillion there
Swells the debt the kids will bear.
For them the deal is really crappy.
Gotta keep the donors happy.
