Hi Jean,

Couldn't resist!



How Much Tax Do I Really Pay

(c) 2011 Geneva Griffin

Verse 1
Jesus is forgiving but the tax man crucifies,
The ax was dropped this weekend when I drank on Friday night,
They take a chop out of tobacco of about three bucks a pack,
The unpopular minority is reaped by the "sin" tax..

Chorus
Federal state and local.. medicare FICA,
Now that's a chunk of pay....
I don't own my property,
I'm told I do, but they fooled me....
Cause I paid off Fanny Mae..
How much Tax do I really pay..

Verse 2
I'd take a short vacation if I had fuel for my RV,
But the government reams me when they tax my gasoline,
I'd opt for a rental car and a stay in a cheap motel
But they'd take a chunk in tourist tax and a bite from my take out meal..

Federal state and local.. medicare FICA,
Now that's a chunk of pay....
I don't own my property,
I'm told I do, but they fooled me....
Cause I paid off Fanny Mae..
How much Tax do I really pay..


Bridge
I spend what's left from my paycheck on basic necessities,
What's that leave for an IRA..
Those writer of the tax code are this countries unmasked thieves,
I see no tax breaks..

Federal state and local.. medicare FICA,
Now that's a chunk of pay....
I don't own my property,
I'm told I do, but they fooled me....
Cause I paid off Fanny Mae..
How much Tax do I really pay..

Tag
My fair share's been ear marked by corruption at it's best..
Corporate power and the IRS
