i know someone who makes OVER $300 000 a year on his super and pays no tax



Not even the mandatory 15%? Must be tax evasion. Dob him in.


for what? he's retired?



You didn't say that. "I know someone who makes over $300k on his super and pays no tax", is different to "I know someone who draws down $300k pa on his super and pays no tax."

Direct income tax in Australia is too harsh on the middle and GST is too light.
I'd increase it to 17.5% and widen the tax brackets with a drop in the middle tier.

It would flatten the tax structure somewhat and encourage skilled migration.

AUSTRALIANS will be softened up in the coming months to accept changes to the GST or face paying more income tax.

Translation - Australians can expect to be bombarded with fallacious propaganda.

The logical fallacy is black or white

Quote:
Australians will be presented with two alternative states as the only possibilities, when in fact more possibilities exist.

Also known as the false dilemma, this insidious tactic has the appearance of forming a logical argument, but under closer scrutiny it becomes evident that there are more possibilities than the either/or choice that is presented. Binary, black-or-white thinking doesn't allow for the many different variables, conditions, and contexts in which there would exist more than just the two possibilities put forth. It frames the argument misleadingly and obscures rational, honest debate.
