It's a sad indictment of our flawed democracy (ochlocracy) that the majority at the ballot box that pay the minority of tax exploit the minority at the ballot box that pay the majority of tax.

Roughly 1 in 4 taxpayers pay the Lion's share of the cost of Govt. 

Stronger protections are needed to stop the cycle of abuse among overtaxed taxpayers.

If you think taxpayer exploitation is only happening overseas in richer nations then you’d be wrong. It is happening right here in Australia, on our doorstep, in the so called lucky country.

Taxpayer mistreatment is becoming an all-too-common horror story in Australia. From agriculture to hospitality, retail, construction and everything in between, the increasing pervasive control of socialists over vulnerable taxpayers' earnings show that better protections are needed.

Socialist giants such as the ACTU and its political arms the ALP & Greens (and Senate) have been publicly shamed for abusing the Budget and taking unfair advantage of vulnerable taxpayers by trading protected individual rights for higher porkbarreling and decreased take home pay.

Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin....

Taxpayer abuse is much more prevalent than 'worker' abuse.

I agree Swag....John Howard and Peter Costello pork barrelling and introducing socialist policies like the baby bonus, CGT, Negative Gearing and subsidising private health insurance is the reason our budget is in structural deficit....The problem is no Government has the guts to take away what is now considered a right by the public....The tax take is not the problem it is where it is being wasted to buy votes for the major parties!!!

I think the best option is to simply "trick your brain" and see the tax you pay as part of your "spirit of contribution".

i have seen a lot of guys who became successful through years of grinding it out and then they just lost the momentum.they were 'done with it".
Once you get into that narrative, once you become a cry baby or indulge in self pity, it flows through and contaminates everything you are trying to achieve.

most of them became a trainwreck from adopting this position.

laziness is destructive to those at the bottom, but laziness is even more destructive to those at the top.
It is an addiction. Once you get addicted to laziness, you are gone. i would rate addiction to laziness as the number 1 reason for successful people falling off the narrow road to success.

so with regards paying tax, we must do what we always do...

accept it, enjoy it and even become enthusiastic about it.

because , in work an in life, it matters nought what you get, all that matters is 'what you become".

humans can take on the characteristic of any animal.
i pay a lot of tax and i see myself as the noble wolf.
people in leech mode, i just see them as parasites .

they are going nowhere, where as i am powering ahead.

i look at how they live their lives and to be honest, i think its just retarded

Paying tax is a duty of a citizen in a civilised democracy like ours Swag.

Perhaps you should move to some impoverished African country  with little or no rule of law and see how you go.

You'll feel better when you sober up from over-taxed beer.

Like a zombie, swaggy keeps raising this poor animal from the dead.

What about the amount of our taxes that go to propping up all the multi-nationals???
