Government & Politics

/em>

The sta-ate can’t balance it’s budget.
More cuts will hurt you and hurt me.
lt’s time to reform our tax system
And vote for e-qua-a-li-ty.

Chorus:
Be fair, be fair.
The better off should pay their fa-ir share
Be fair, be fair.
The better off should pay their fair share.

Our sales tax is so-o regressive.
B & O is unfair too.
The property tax is a burden.
Let’s vote for a tax that is new!
YELL: STATE INCOME TAX!

Chorus

Who calls the rich more deserving-
A myth that belongs in the trash.
We ask you, our friends, to consider
With no workers how would we last?

Chorus

So think of your welfare and listen
And put on some hats just like these.
It’s time to reform our tax system
And VOTE more equality!
YELL: STATE INCOME TAX! STATE INCOME TAX! STATE INCOME TAX!
