If I make enough money, I just might get
A tax break. If I join the 1% and belong
to the right club.
Then, I can schmooze with the right
fancy folk, forget the middle class
joke, nothing more than a pig
in a poke.
Or, maybe, I’ll just become a Pass-Through
Corporation.
And when I do, I’ll make sure
all that extra cash
