The Tax Code Dance (To be sung to the tune of “Locomotion”)

April 1, 2019

Everybody’s lookin’ for a smarter tax, now
(Come on baby, cap that SALT deduction)
You’ll find a bunch of info in your figures and facts, now
(Come on baby, cap that SALT deduction)
The answer to your question is simplicity,
Transparency, and neutrality
So come on, come on, cap that SALT deduction with me
You just lower your rates, now

Come on, baby
Broad base
Low tax
Now, I think you’ve got the knack

Now that you can do it, let’s make it plain, now
(Come on baby, cap that SALT deduction)
If we keep our rates stable, business helps the game, now
(Come on baby, cap that SALT deduction)

Do it nice and easy, now, don’t lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul

Come on, come on
Cap that SALT deduction with me

Ye-ye-ye-yeah
Filing is easy with a standard deduction
(Come on baby, cap that SALT deduction)

People should deduct the loss they got in production
(Come on baby, cap that SALT deduction)

There’s never been a dance that’s so easy to do
And your state should consider full expensing too
So come on, come on, cap that SALT deduction with me
