A Self-Made Man

"When your daddy's filthy rich,

Take the opportunity

To use his wealth so you'll become

A SELF-MADE billionaire like me.

 

"Dubious tax schemes help a lot

When Daddy Trump's income waxes.

You and he can benefit from

Committing fraud and dodging taxes.

 

"A sham corporation allows

You to disguise millions in "gifts."

Improper tax deductions

Speed along these money shifts.

 

"Undervalue real estate holdings

By millions of dollars. We've deduced

That when the property's transferred, your

Tax bill will be greatly reduced.

 

"Be creative, explore loopholes--

Even deception and obfuscation.

If you're under scrutiny,

Feign utter indignation.

 

"Later, when your fortune increases,

Say that you have serious concerns

About the need for anyone

To see your personal tax returns.

 

"Seduce your fans by spinning your tale.

Lie, cheat, do what you can

To let them think their president

Is from the start a SELF-MADE man."
