The concept of pie (a poem)
Let us talk economics,
just the facts, not the spin.
I see your eyes glazing
so I'll start again!
Let's talk about the concept of pie,
how to get it through working and daring to try.
You sir, with the wide grin and yee haw,
please be quiet, you know, this ain't Ar - kan - saw!
That's enough!
Slick Willy good sir, I must ask you to leave.
Your mind's in the gutter.
It's not what you perceive!
Ok...
Let's get down to business now that he's gone.
I'll tell you why libs get the concept so wrong.
Pie in sky libs don't understand pie.
They insist it's finite, but can't explain why.
For them our sweet pie is a zero sum game.
Since the rich are so rich, their large slice causes pain.
The answer for libs is to tax the rich more.
Respread hard earned wealth to even the score.
After all, they insist in our land of the free,
we have but one pie, but that's pie sophistry!
It seems pie sky libs would resist taxing more.
With tax rates reduced, tax revenues soar!
Tax revenues pay for the votes that libs need.
A lib without funds is a fire without feed.
Latitudes of platitudes for pro-lib governance,
depend quite completely on pig pork providence!
My friends please perceive there's no absolute pie.
More pie is produced when folks work hard and try.
If government needs more funds to succeed,
lower tax rates the more for the funds to proceed.
But...
This makes too much sense, a lib must deceive,
the power of class envy trumps the sense to suceed!!!
