Abbott/Liberal Govt Watch

[Bully]

IMO they should abolish wages/salary tax and have GST on everything

[The Sleeping Giant]

i dont think many people, with the benefit of hindsight, would say the GST was a bad thing imo. small raising of it too wouldn't be a bad thing.

Yes, because as one of the highest taxed nations on earth, who doesn't want to pay more tax to increase govt waste.

we are not even close to the highest taxed on earth, as much as you would like to say.

[The Sleeping Giant]

I was under the impression that our income tax rate is one of the highest. Still don't see why the GST should be raised.

Most of non Mediterranean Europe is higher, especially scandi countries.

Our max rate does look high, but almost no one pays tax at that rate because if our very generous and complicated deduction regime.

That's why GST works, because you can't avoid it

Abbot at it again.
Comments that he will have a renaissance with Tassies Forests. Then renaissance with WORK CHOICES and he has already doing a great job of renaissance with depriving people of human dignity.

Gillard was just as bad, if not worse.

Like Bob Hawke?
Are we better of with a sober Rhodes scholar or a drunken one.

Actually, the guy I went through Medicine with who won a Rhodes scholarship was only moderately bright, but very diligent about trying to win it.
(So perhaps it is primarily a reward for being earnest or having something to prove.)

she spoke quite intelligently most of the time, it was just her godawful strine accent that was very offputting.
