Sorry mate.
Helping people isn't a part of liberal DNA.
People need to help themselves! !
Three good reasons for drastically reducing ABC funding:
Virginia Trioli, Sarah Ferguson, Leigh Sales....... three gruesome ABC female presenters,
I'm limper than limp just mentioning their names and posting this message.
Yeah baby......(good onya Joe Hockey)
Son, I think you'd be suprised if you knew where the majority of government expenditure ends up.
You sound to me like a bitter blue collar worker, the sort of bloke who spends a lot of time at the local pub drinking cheap beer and complaining to his mates about how much tax he pays and what little he gets in return.
NEWFLASH!!! That public school you snoozed you way through - just who the bloody fuck do you think payed for that? Answer: other tax payers! That shitty TAFE course in landscape gardening of whatever shit you did , who do you think picked up the bill for that??? Thats right punk - other tax payers!!! That single mother pension your old lady collected when you were a kid so she could buy smokes and fill you gut with junk food, who paid for that? You got it - other goddam taxpayers!!!
Wake up sonny boy. You're just another self entitled Centrelink kid who thinks the world owes hin something. Improve yourself. That sort of attitude is just gonna bring you heartache and disspointment
Yours is the first low brow post on this interesting thread, and with lousy spelling too, deary me.
So, I take it you don't agree with my view. That's lovely sugarplum.
By the way ignoramus, I don't drink/smoke and I have a post-graduate education, so I'm far removed from your
rather odd stereotypical view of those people who may have, let's say, right-wing socio-political tendencies.
Perhaps you're related to one of those horrible ABC girls, ah yes, that must be what ruffled your feathers. kiss kiss.
i didn't realise they gave out postgraduate degrees in smoking cock these days Chairman Plough!
And I've heard stories about millionaires paying little to NO tax.
Yet are these the bastards targeted by those dickheads Abbott and Hockey?
Nup.
Rupert gets a recent gift from the tax office of about a 800 million dollars, in fact.
There are two ways to fix a budget (not that this one needed fixing). Spend less or get more income. If those rich fucks and businesses who currently rort the system (far worse than anyone else) paid their fair share then the "problem" would be solved.
There is truth in what you say, some large companies pay ridiculously low sums of tax, through legitimate tax avoidance measures.
Something should be done to redress the balance, but you shouldn't over do it, otherwise the companies go elsewhere. If they
stay they are unable to grow and create jobs, so the economy stagnates. I guess it's a question of getting the balance right.
No matter how hard CP (SheIsHer) tries he is always found out, he seems to stand out, most trolls do ...
It's been only 3 days sine he was last banned!
Well said, it is a good thread.
However, all good threads soon come under attack by the same duo.
Good threads are not permitted on the "forum," you have to talk about......other things shall we say.
How fearful can anyone get? I find their fixation on previous legends to be decidedly strange, yet very revealing.
5,4,3,2,1.......Banned - go on then, I dare you.
About time??? Rich will get richer!
Yes he would've tackled those three things if he was serious about being fair. The wealthy get plenty of welfare like this.
Who are all these bludgers everyone has a chip on their shoulder about? Single mothers? (They are actually the hardest hit in this budget.) But fuck them, what do they do they do for the economy? It's really about making sure children aren't living in poverty and it's called social security for a reason. Expect crime to rise and expensive jails to fill as people get more desperate. We never have 100% employment and people need to be taken care of for all our sakes.
Howard was the one who introduced most middle class welfare with funds from the mining boom. He spent more than Rudd and Gillard because he had massive revenue coming in. We have less revenue atm but still have one of the healthiest economies in the world. We need to start looking at new revenue creation but we are far from a "budget emergency".
The GST (Liberal's big tax on everything) might go up now but it will only replace the 80 billion the federal government is cutting from health and education, we won't get anything new for it but we'll all be paying more for everything.
And anyone who thinks that Abbott didn't break any promises in this budget is kidding themselves.
