Guest Poet: A Tax Free Nation
Another poetic gem from TMV’s favorite poet, Michael Silverstein, aka Wall Street Poet:
A Tax-Free Nation
Ollie Wendell Holmes once said
About taxes in this nation,
They are the price we gotta pay
To have civilization.
But recently I’m thinking
That this rule we should relax,
‘Cause I’d rather not be civilized
Than pay my income tax.
The money sinks of public ed,
The vet and welfare rolls,
The subsidies for geezer health,
Who needs these wasteful doles?
Our streets would have no pot holes
If we made them all toll roads,
Stock markets would go through the roof
Without dull legal codes.
To keep our armies solvent
We could send our soldiers plundering
No revenue means Congress
Won’t in spending realms be blundering
Who needs a tax-based commonwealth?
For too long we’ve been scamed.
We’ll each care for the things we like,
All other things be damned!

One Response to “Guest Poet: A Tax Free Nation”
If all roads had tolls
Who’d serve your dinner rolls?
I’d be too broke to get to work
Man, that guy is a jerk!
Public ed gives kids a shot
To end up something they were born not.
Cut it off, start a new Dark Age
His advice seems less than sage.
Vets gave their all for us
So it seems rather small of us
To go back on our word
You miserable turd.
