The jaw-dropping scale of theft by the rich

Liechtenstein, Jersey,

Delaware, Guernsey,

Campione d'Italia, Monaco,

Netherlands Antilles, Curacao,

British Virgin Islands

and US Virgin Islands.

Sark and Switzerland,

Labuan and Netherlands,

Bermuda, Panama,

Seychelles, Bahamas,

Jebel Ali, Isle of Man,

San Marino, Grand Cayman,

Turks and Caicos, Gibraltar,

Luxembourg, Andorra,

even Ireland and Hong Kong.

You're looking at me funny – what's wrong?

Oh you're not going to be a bore

about the money offshore?

Silly to think of litigation,

It's just tax mitigation.

All this foolish talk of banning -

It's only routine tax planning.

The system works, the shops are full.

Please – return to your slumber.

Thirty two trillion dollars?

It's just a meaningless number.

You know your stuff, Dave! This is a great, hard-hitting, really effective poem, whether read or performed. And it rhymes, too! Maybe the most angry material has to.
