The “Cut, Cut, Cut” plan revealed yesterday
Each Cuts five percent off the corporate tax rate
Down to twenty percent as a trickle-down play
But they’re swimming in cash; trickle-down’s out of date
They Cut a few tax breaks for balance on funding
That’s worth less than half of the fifteen points Cut
The rest becomes Cuts in deductions and spending
Like SALT, Medicare, Medicaid, or raise debt
For those earning less than about nineteen grand
That’s living in poverty many would say
Who struggle for food in this wealthiest land
Their bracket is UP two percent that they pay
For most of us middle-class people still working
It won’t make much difference in taxes we pay
What hurts are the Cuts to our safety-net funding
Republicans want to take all that away
The Cut, Cut, Cut tax bill behind doors was drafted
Republicans racing the calendar year
So they can claim something done that they have crafted
I doubt if they’ll make it, reacting in fear
