Tax

(Dedicated to fair taxation reflecting physical labour distribution – Deepak Sarkar, www.kolki.com)

 

It is hard to imagine once civilization evolved on Earth without Tax!

When everyone worked as team together to serve and relax!

Lived as community sharing the fruits of productive hearts!

Enjoying festivities in freedom filled with creative arts!

 

Taxation started with the Warlords as they conquered!

Asked people to work and pay for their adventures!

Labourers paid for the Rulers without physical work!

Initiating inflation, ensuring future work is less worth!

Preparing the stage for politics of tax and ‘tax cuts’!

 

Warlords grew in number harnessing military power!

Became King, Lord, Duke, Duchess, Knight and Maharajas!

Taxes and fees became part of the command structure!

Still ruling working class with democratic posture!

With never ending campaign of ‘tough on crime’ and ‘tax cuts’!

 

That is why the political campaign of ‘tax cuts’ -

Usually help people earning too much without productive work!

Since we can’t even think of modern life abolishing tax!

Let it be transparent value added tax –

On fair distribution of salary valuing real labour first -

 Relieving citizens from the politics of inflation and ‘tax cuts’!
