Would like to have a good conversation on taxes so we can get the country moving. However, it's hard to when the richest of the rich say they're being "bled dry" and "class warfare" yet they offshore their profits to hide from the IRS while claiming to pay their fair share. 52,000 Americans offshored almost 20 billion. That's almost $400,000 per person. Are you really paying your fair share when you hide $400,000 to avoid taxes?
Lyrics
Last Stand of the 52 Grand
Verse 1:
Let me tell a little story for everyone
?Bout rich folks and tax evasion
Offshore your profits and you?ll never pay
That?s what these 52,000 say.
Not sure what court order means
20 billion hidden by our Swiss friends
Untouchable profits by any man
Right next to the Nazi war contraband
Verse General:
You want our taxes?
Come ?n? get ?em
You want the money?
Come ?n? get it
Hid behind
International lines
Good luck good hope this is the way it?s always been
Chorus:
Last stand of the 52 grand
We gotta
Make a stand in Miami land
Everyone else has to pay
We?re too big to fail that?s what they say
Last stand of the 52 grand
You?re not
One of us so your job will be canned
You thought
That you weren?t trash
But that?s
Another thought when we?re taking your cash
Verse 2:
We all want to know who?s to blame for it
If you stop and think for just a little bit
It?s not the ones with nothing now
It?s the one who made millions they make billions now.
Not to say we?re upset when a man makes money
But when he takes from me says he ain?t got none.
Soaring phoenix calling tax fire funny
Taxes? Taxes? That?s a burden for you to take.
Voices of the 52,000?
?Cash! Cash!
And you want to blame your neighbors?
Well, as long as they?re not blaming us.
That?s what I?m trying to say.?
