The Art of the Fat Cat - POLITICO Magazine

Imagine the Rich Paid Taxes

(Sung to a tune somewhere in the neighbourhood

of Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer)

*

Ooooh!

Imagine

that the Rich paid Taxes

Just the same as you and me!

Yes imagine that the Rich paid Taxes,

how happy then the World would be!

*

We'd have enough

to find a Cure for Cancer

and put an end to Pov-er-ty!

We'd splash lots of cash

to slash Climate Change,

and have spare change

to save the econ-o-myy!

So let's imagine that the Rich paid Taxes

Just the same as you and me!

Yes it's about time that the Rich paid Taxes

and share the Wealth they made from You and Me!

*

We'll track down all

their secret bank accounts

in their Tax-Haven Islands in the Sun.

We'll seize the jewels & Krugerrands

that they hid in Switzerland,

Oh we'll have such Fun!

Sooooh!

Imagine

that the Rich paid Taxes

Just the same as you and me!

Yes imagine that the Rich paid Taxes,

how happy then

the World would beeeeee!
