Prestidigi-taxation

The term "tax" is a nasty term
For the people who have to pay.
Raising taxes does make gov squirm,
Going back to tea party day.
When a tax is right in the face
Of the payer, the face gets red.
Gov wants tax in some other place,
Out of sight and mind instead.
So all services and products
Have to pay to play the gov game.
The consumer price adds on bucks.
Gov can give business the blame.

One day none will pay income tax.
Gov has other vanishing acts.
