If you are living in australia in 2016, you are amongst the luckiest .000000001 % of people ever to be born.
You should fall to your knees every morning and do 10 minutes of "gratitude affirmations".
If you live in australia and you do not feel extremely grateful about this fact, then you are basicly F*ed.
There is no hope for you.
You are building highways to scarcity and a dirt road to abundance.
When you do this , NO MATTER WHAT YOU ' GET " you will NEVER be satisfied.
My advice would be to cease this behaviour immediately and go back to gratitude affirmations.
The universe has a way of taking things from you , if you dont appreciate them.
The best people, the most successful people, the happiest people always say thank you and and always approach everything (including our great nation ) with a frame of "what can i contribute"
Never "what can i take" "what can i get"
Respectfully....CRAP
We pay some of the highest taxes in the world.
Therefore we should expect, NO DEMAND better.
But the only ones befitting from all this excessive tax is our leaders (and I use that term loosly and with utter contempt) and our senior public SERVE-US).
We should have the best health care, the best hospitals the best politicians and less, far far less politicians and public service than we currently do.
Australia is a beautiful country, but it is a desert for much of it.
We have to travel further for work and play than most other countries, and yet we pay far too much for our fuel to say nothing of the goat tracks they laughingly call roads.
We are over regulated, over taxed, over fined (there is a fine for almost everything you can imagine).
Only parasites and those who prey on others achieve anything.
They justify this by calling themselves successful.
We need a revolution
Ill build the guillotines
Jesus, you must be living in a different Australia to me.
The amount of tax I pay has never bothered me.
The level of free health care I receive is excellent.
And, I've never understood those who whinge about petrol prices.
We've got a lot to be thankful for here.
FREE HEALTH CARE???????
What planet are you on.
I pay over 4K a year in health insurance.
I get back sweet stuff all when I try to claim.
And if you don't have medical insurance, you pay in a medicare levee.
Either way they have you by the balls
Its so that the politicians can get their free 100% coverage health care as a bribe to allow health care companies to rip the guts out of everyone else.
And as for tax, you enjoy paying around 25% of your income and then another 10% and then some more in fees, charges and anything else they can screw you for?
The last 10 years I have been paying over 30K a year in tax.
But I get nothing more than those paying little or nothing in tax, the system stinks.
Finally petrol.
Again our wonderful masters have done the dirty o us.
'We have heaps of oil, some of it so good that you can just about fill up the diesel van and drive it without any refining.
But what have our dutiful and brilliant masters done.
You guessed it, sold it to foreign countries and companies to be refined off shore and shipped back here to see our own oil back to us for a massive profit.
Yep, The country is my country.
5 generations on both sides of my family born here, hell I'm more indigenous than many Aboriginals.
But I watch in horror as those lazy, useless, incompetent, crooked, narcissistic, bombastic, thieves of politicians and senior public servants give our country away each day for a brown paper bag full of cash.
MAY THEY ALL ROT IN HELL
