Rich People Are Laughing
(All the way to the bank)

Rich people are laughing at Paul Ryan's plan
His numbers are wrong as the Heritage knows.
Still he plans on cutting their tax rate by a third,
But once he gets it passed, who cares where he goes?

Boehner's also screwed up. He keeps upping the ante
To try to hold onto his Tea Party contingent.
But those idiot nutjobs still want all or nothing.
Did he think that "Hell, No!" was a stance they'd need to invent?

Doesn't it sound like what we heard before
This new crop of nutjobs appeared on the scene?
Like something the Tan Man and Mitch McConnell
Just might be blamed for not having foreseen?

That it would backfire so they'd have regrets
Was something they feared but hoped wouldn't occur.
Even Michele has warned against shutting down,
But, big surprise, no one's listened to her.

Darrel Issa will be one of the few to insist
That his staff's so essential it has to be paid.
Why's that surprising when car theft and arson
Are the foundation upon which his career has been made.

Rich folks like the Kochs aren't bothered by shutdowns.
Regulators laid off? It's a Koch dream come true.
How badly do they need a government refund?
That can wait – if they can emit a lot more CO2.
