Taxing Dilemma

Rich ones get richer from our wages. Middle man paid with too many pages. We continue on path. Hiding outrageous wrath, Revolved in political stages, Taxes, taxes, what will be the due. Deductions, exemptions for a few, All my money they have kept. Deducting tears I wept. Tax man arrived claimed all of them too. The poor keeps getting poorer each year. They cannot wait for rebate, they cheer. Sell off, early rebate. Federal and the state, Money now, money, for wine and beer, Written for Sponsor Carolyn Devonshire Contest Name Taxing Times
