From ANDRAS JONES: VEDA HILLE is one of Radio8Ball’s favorite guests so she gets a pass for engaging The Pop Oracle with the slimmest flibbertigibbet of a query in her session with GEOFF BERNER. With such an open ended question there are billions of potential answers, making us a sort of like synchronistic billionaires. Sing a long if you will…”Away! Away!”.
Why Don’t We Just Take the Billionaires’ Money Away?
There’s a lot of different lefty political ways to think.
And most of them think that most of them mostly stink.
But maybe there’s some things we could agree on, I mean isn’t it fair to say—
We could start by taking the billionaires’ money away.
Why don’t we just take the billionaire’s money away?
And spend it on shit for which millionaires say
We can’t afford to pay,
We could start by taking the billionaires’ money away.
There’s like, eight guys who own more than half of the whole human race.
I’d like to sit down with you, and talk about just what that says.
But I can’t be bothered, I’d rather be talking with people who are ready today,
Ready to take those billionaires’ money away.
Why don’t we just take the billionaire’s money away?
And spend it on shit for which millionaires say
We can’t afford to pay,
We could start by taking the billionaires’ money away.
And spend it on
Healthcare
Childcare
Transcare
Eldercare
Mental care
Dental care
Shel-ter
You get the pict-er?
(Yes, we see.)
Some say we can’t do it, on account of the economy
Because rich people own more of it, so it’s bad for investment, you see.
But we’ve been doing it their way for a long time now, how’s that working out? Ok?
No? Then let’s innovate by taking the billionaires’ money away.
Now let’s take it up a tax bracket…
Some say we can’t do it, because the billionaires keep it all hid.
But the government could find it if it wanted to, what if they did?
So if you say it can’t be done, I’m done with you, chum
Go take a billion holidays
In the sun
With your friend the Aga Khan
Or Richard Branson
Or that shit from Amazon
While get to work taking the billionaires’ money away.
We’re gonna take the billionaires’ money away,
And spend it on shit for which millionaires say
We can’t afford to pay
We’re gonna take those billionaires’ money away.
And then the millionaires? Yup, that sounds fair.
Away.
