Is it the name that is your enemy?
Those few words ‘Resource Super Profits Tax?’
Is it ‘Profits’ that does not say it well?
Perhaps ‘Super’ – or any other part
Put forward by that man?    O, choose some other name!
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name will smell as sweet;
‘Super Profits’ if not so crudely named
Would keep its dear perfection and still owe,
Without that title, much to us. Change the name!
And for that change still pay a ‘Rental’ tax.
Then leave me be!

Patriciawa, 10/04/13, Thanks for reminding me of this one! I’d forgotten it entirely! I must look at events around that time again to see what specifically prompted those particular lines.
