Cheap, on Our Dime

Every year when taxes are due, I pay mine to the full,
Even though some other people call it a bunch of bull.

Some don't pay their taxes for there is an aberration.
As time goes by they holler, "Statute of  Limitation".

They live in a life of luxury, these entitled few,
Expecting us to pay their way, since that is what we do.

The Statute of Limitation gives them a lucky break.
Never feeling that they owe, they just take, and take, and take.

And though the law may state, 'This tax us no longer in play',
An honest person loves this Land, and pays it anyway.

  (And this applies to the Presidential Family, too)
