TAX REVOLT: A Lament for the US Tax Payer

 On the18^th of April in ‘75

Hardly a tax was then alive.

A tiny British tax on tea

And Patriots made the British flee.

 

Today Americans meekly send,

Tax money for the rich to spend.

Loopholes and subsidies do the job,

The rich need not the people rob.

 

Your money does much honest work,

It pays for bombs and missiles, jerk.

Destroying Gaza is a worthy job,

And turning fishermen into blobs.

What about health care? you might ask.

Take a swig from yon whisky flask. 

Health care's not for the likes of you,

For Congress yes, for sure that's true.

You have "insurance" for a bigly fee,

Congress get their health care free.

Education? That's for nerds,

MAGAts have no need for words.

Alas! Do not in misery wallow,

Bread and football you may swallow.

Let’s drink a toast to celebrate,

Though Miller and Bud is all we rate.

Champagne and yachts belong to others,

Even though we all are brothers.

Someday their dough will trickle down,

And we can all then go to town.

 

With abject apologies to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
