WASHINGTON—Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg released 10 years of tax returns Tuesday, showing he earned a $30,000 advance in 2017 to write a book that was released ahead of his White House bid.
WSJ
I have released my tax returns; they go back quite a while.
They show that I am honest and live in a modest style.
I wrote a book of poetry about a year ago;
but no advance was paid to me by any kind of schmo.
I don't declare my food stamps, cuz I only get ten bucks;
ramen noodles, pork & beans, is what I eat -- not ducks.
I gave up driving my own car; insurance rates are daft;
but my accountant writes off mileage (using some witchcraft.)
All the world can plainly see just what I get and spend.
(I'm so tight that even my own ears I will not lend.)
So if I run for president the public can descry
the fact that I am just an ordinary tax-dodging kind of guy.
