Hi everyone. This is my first post. I felt after watching Bob Brown on Q and R tonight that I needed to add my 2 cents somewhere. These are only my opinions, They are not necessarily fact just my opinion, and I just want to know how others feel about these things. I know its not the best structured argument, and that grammar is rather poor, But I just wanted to rage into my keyboard.

How do people not see how they are slaves to Capitalism and the small majority of the vastly rich? Do they not see that we are controlled by the very systems that they believe grant us freedom?

Our whole lives are based on borrowing money, that we have to pay back with interest to these mega rich people. To buy crap which develops  massive profits which go towards these same people. Who control our Political system because most politions are these people, in close with these people, or set up by these people.

They control our media to brainwash us, feed us what they have made us think we want to hear. I mean how in the hell can Australians not want a mining tax. It just goes to show just how successful the brainwashing is. Most of the money generated from our mines goes overseas, and into the pockets of these mega rich people. Australians have been brainwashed to think that it is a bad thing. General Australians think it is a bad thing to tax the rich, and try and keep at least some of this money in Australia. Even though this money would probably be squandered by what ever Government is in power in any case.

We are over 2 trillion dollars in debt to other countries, and ultimately to these mega rich people which control the financial system and banks, international and domestic. We are slaves to these people. We buy crap we don't need to give even more money to these evil people. A lot of these items (ipods, televisions etc.) are also very useful in controlling the population, to dull us and distract us from pursuing meaningful ventures, and ultimately seeing these glaring issues and trying to push change.

Do people not care that this debt can never be paid off? Do people not care that their children will be burdened by this debt even more than we currently are? That it will destroy our future? That essentially the whole economy is based on borrowing more and more money just to keep it all going?

Do they think that all the money they have put into shares and property will ever return to them, to their children? No it will not. These mega rich people make a profit on all of this. It is all just a way to exert control on us and keep the minority in power.

The money lent to us from mortages is lent to us by these mega rich people from overseas. We will be paying off the interest on this for the rest of time or untill people get past their Ipods and crap which keep them brainwashed along with this corporate sickening media and do something about it.

Does it not sicken you that Australain politics has dissolved to seeing seedy marketing type people kissing babys in high visability vests only to say 'Great Big Tax' and 'boats' and whatever the hell their marketing and PR people have concocted this week or month? Do they not understand that Liberal and Labour is the same? What happened to the quality politicians from decades past? real debate?

Do we live in a democracy? We are controlled by these mega rich people because they control our debt. What if all that burrowed money all of a sudden stops? What will consumers do? Will the economy will just stop because it runs on burrowed money.

Thanks for reading.

Dont listen to Frances she has an excuse for everything for why a corrupt system is good.

If we didn't borrow for the family burrow, we could buy a square metre of ground and armful of hardware each pay-day, while also paying rent. We could save to pay cash for an old banger car.

I dont honk many are against the MINING TAX,,


its the CARBON TAX and the fraud that it is based on that I dont agree with..

if an ALCOPOPS TAX  STOPS THE YOUNG DRIN KING POISON... THEN i AM HAPPY WITH THAT.oopps again

if it turns them to something stronger.. then not happy Jan.

if  a ROAD TAX is spent on our roads and making them safe to drive on.. then I am happy with that..

its when its spent on other things that I get a bit pizzzed off..


if a TAX ON WEALTH..is spent on homes for the not so rich..

then I am happy with that.


its when it goes on overseas trip for pollies..as many as they can cram in  it pizzzzzzzzes me off even more.

If the mining revenue does not help all Australians through Jobs, pensions and healthcare then it is not being prudently spent or virtuously used.

Superannuation top ups are neither prudent nor virtuous and would squander the commonwealth on greed.

When the Carbon Tax comes in ordinary Australians will put their dollars in AL GORE'S pocket, he of The Environment Saviour. (Google the British High Court Judgement against Al Gore on 23 counts of scientific fraud with his bulldust move An Inconvenient Truth)

Now he is in business with his old buddy from GOLDMAN SACHS and they have a firm BLOOD and GORE - They trade in CARBON CREDITS.

Once the Carbon Tax is under way big companies will be able to purchase 'Carbon Credits' so they can go on polluting.

The only loser in this is you and me.

And the only winners are the rich and powerful.

Whether you agree with the Carbon Tax or not - it is a one way ticket to being poorer for all WORKING AUSTRALIANS.

Hi Grey,. would you like to explain to the Australian Public at large just how they will not be seriously out of [pocket when the Carbon Tax comes in. The trickle of money for the 'poor villagers' is nothing compared to the way prices will rocket.

I await with baited breath.

I did not mention anything about a 'One World Government'? Bob Brown may have mentioned that last night, I did not reffer to this.

Thanks for the replies. I'm just at work at the moment so I can post anything too long.
