Baby, It’s A Tax Scam (song)

Thought I’d revisit the Beatles for a new parody. Now Kevin “has anyone seen my spine? I know it was here somewhere” McCarthy when asked about rolling back some of the almost criminal tax cuts they gave away back in ’17 (no surprise that Trump’s only signature moment was to give rich folks reason to be even richer rich folks) said there are plenty of tax dollars coming in, we don’t need to roll anything back. But of course, at the same time, in the name of sudden fiscal responsibility, we need to keep the avg American’s dollars in check and cut, cut, cut.

When I first started to editorialize via tune, 5 plus years ago, realizing no one was going to read my shit but that they might, instead, toe tap along to said shit in song the Beatles were my go to including even an “album” worth of songs at one point. The Orange Album.

So a bit of comfort food/tune then.

Baby, it’s a Tax Scam

“So whats we got on the agenda today boss?”

“I’m thinkin’ we get dem GOP folks to savin’ us some more money. Udderwise, we don’t be supportin’ ’em with any more of OUR money”

“We gonna play the country for dupes again?”

“You knows it Mugsy”

How does it feel to be GOP privileged people

Knowing they put you ‘bove the rest

Padded bank accounts will attest

Reward for support of who is best

A thank you with more in store

How does it feel to have recognized ravenous gre-eed

Know divide’s what they do seek

Wealth kept away from weak

What do you plan with your new gain

Hope keep ridin’ the money train
