Despite your SCURRILOUS attempts at SLANDER - I HAVE a job

And I've paid FAR more tax into this county in MY lifetime - than you EVER will in YOURS








Strange - refer to slander then talk about my country being different to yours?

Oh yeah, you don't like dual nationals do you......

I find it offensive a country thinks a couple should pay $9k in tax per month.
No matter where this money goes.

Am I the only one who sees some potential benefit to paying the baby bonus to 'low income' parents?  Just imagine what could be done for a whole range of issues if parliamentary pensions, or needless layers of bureaucracy were trimmed instead! 
Why do frivolous perks for public servants and 'jobs for the boys' never get mentioned as examples of funds that could be better re-directed to those in need, while things that DO assist - like the baby bonus are staring down the barrel?  Stockholm syndrome?

I have long pointed out the fact that Wayne Swan saw no issue whatsoever in flying his entire team in first class at a cost of $60,000 to the taxpayer for a London conference.

That obscene amount was the same time he was telling us how it was a tough year and cuts would need to be made.

Yes, and Rudd flying 100+ cronies, including his personal hairstylist  to copenhagen for the climate wankfest.  But we couldn't touch that could we?  Nar...better to deny young families a few bob to assist raising their children, than to deny the PM a hairdresser for a week.

Or would that sorta ruin the poor me act?

Get over yourself you selfish prig, you carry on like you are the only one who ever had to pay tax, we all do, but you are so blinded by greed you obsess about how much you could turn that 9k into if the government didn't take it.
You could have solid gold bum wipers, because everyone knows whoever dies the richest wins.

I have friends who were paying more than that as individuals, before you even joined the workforce you blooming great sook.
Fortunately they were appreciative of the ability for hard work they had which left them more than enough for a very nice lifestyle, and they didn't invent offshore companies to minimise their tax, or whinge about it either. They also did pro bono work for deserving causes as well, while working often more than 100 hours a week, because they did engage with this society, and knew they were doing very bloody well out of it, and were happy to give back so it could improve things for all.

Bloody leftie lawyers hey, aren't they disgusting?
Give me a leftie lawyer over a Coalition accountant anyday.

Of course not, but lets play anyway. Smiley
9 x 12 = 108
108K p/annum in tax
Tax in country is roughly 27% of gross with everything factored in but lets make it easy & cut you some slack & make it 30%
$360000 p/annum before tax
$252000 after tax

Yep lucky we gave you that 5K otherwise you might have gone under Cheesy
