Political Tactic

Heavy taxation is not thriftiness,
exempting themselves from indebtedness!
Oh, Congress is comical...
making us hysterical
through economic hardships!

Powerful and so very true. Poetically, in short verse, you stated the trustworthiness of a government lost in its own greed and desire for power. Well done!
