We’re quite a tricky sort of clown.
Our trick is called “the trickle-down”.
We say, “You’ll thrive when riches flow
from keeping all our taxes low”
and promise angry, bitter mobs
a round of cushy, stable jobs.
But once we’re bigger billionaires,
We’ll use those funds to buy more shares
and give ourselves some bonus cash
while cutting jobs in half a flash
to hire a bunch of slick machines
at home in science fiction scenes.
