Ollie Wendell Holmes once said
‘Bout 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,
The market 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 be a’blundering.
Who needs a taxing commonwealth?
For too long we’ve been scammed.
We’ll each care for the things we like,
All other things be damned!
