TAX 

Paradise 

What does your tax

Really pay for

Scroungers, foreigners

And the poor?

It’s taken directly

From your pay

The amount that’s

Taken’s beyond your say

But there is a gap

a big loophole

If your rich

With a big bankroll

Don’t pay your way

Keep your wad

It’s not illegal

If money’s your god

So what does that

Tax provide?

Where would go that

Money you hide?

Hospitals, schools,

Fire and police

Libraries, Soldiers

To keep the peace

Everything society

Everything we need

Sacrificed for rich

Fat Man's greed

So keep your cash

Your conscious clean

It’s not illegal

But it is obscene.

The poorest households hand over a whopping 43% of their incomes in various taxes, a massive eight percentage points more than the richest households, according to research from the Equality Trust.
