Indeed, but it appears the global backlash against unrestrained capitalism has begun.

really??

the fastest grwoing, most dynamic countries (china, india, south korea, malaysia, singapore, indonesia, the phillipines).....absolutely LOVE capitalism, they cant get enough of it.

socialism is the consolation prize you get for not being able to compete.
socialism is like getting to watch TV whilst the capitalists go out and party.
socialism is a story that failures tell themselves to glorify the state they find themselves in because they dont have the courage, energy and drive to go out and make it happen.

Got to love the way the conservative supporters spent years warning about voting for Labor because they would put the GST rate up while denying that the Liberals would do it.

Now they are all supporting the biggest Australian tax increase of all time to the biggest Australian tax of all time.

Every election since 2004 the Liberals have included a scare campaign in their elections that Labor would increase the GST, What a joke they are.

Those are also the countries with the most human rights abuses and the most fragile economies and societies based on intimidation, abuse, exploitation, subordination of Law to the governing class's whims, and outright violence including use of the armed forces (against the constitution of every civilised country) to curtail protest or objection ... very Stalinist the lot of them.... when they come for you, don't ask me for protection...... I won't be putting my hand in the fire for you...

So when I defend the 'little person' and attract criticism and vitriol from you - don't expect me to display the same courage and integrity in defending you....

Thing is - I would - which is exactly where we part company.... a point of departure....

All I've ever heard is the constant Leftist whinge about the GST whilst enjoying the public services it provides.... Roll Eyes

....and their ever constant whining about not enough public services when they could have had 50% more GST revenues for the last 20 years to pay for them if they hadn't howled it down in 1993.....

You obviously don't pay income tax.
