According to Senator David Leyonhjelm (facebook, but the link doesn't work any more, also on the Australian but paywalled), 60% of households pay no net tax.

There are 3.6 million households that are net beneficiaries of the tax and transfer system out of 8.8 million
Yes it's true, 60% of all households get more in government benefits than they pay in tax.Making people pay taxes then giving it back to them in benefits keeps public servants employed who are on higher pay with greater perks than politicians it's an incredible waste of taxpayers money.
yes... and hence the OP...
we are a nation of bludgers..
How come I get 3/5ths of 5/8ths of FA?
you are like me and scoot bobby...
we're paying for the loafers...
I don't mind paying my way... but it ticks me off paying for others...
but it'll all come crashing down one day as we get further and further into debt...
and its Australias own fault when they vote for the politician who promise to rob from you to give to them...
like paying for their child care..
like paying for their childrens school books and computers etc..
etc etc etc ...
paying for immigrants...
the way to look at this mechanic is that, by accepting the freebies from the government, these people are being poisoned.
they will very quickly fall into a frame of expecting to be able to leech and to take and this "mental state" then overflows into their attitude at work, their attitude with friends, their attitude with their partner.
if they become 'takers" from the government, they will try to be 'takers" with their partner.with their employer.
basicly they are screwing themselves.
you NEVER EVER want the free meal.
i drummed this into my duaghters who are very very successful thanks to their acceptance of this ideology.
once you start 'taking" free meals, once you start getting guys to pay for you, it just becomes too easy to cruise.
once you start cruising, you get addicted to cruising and now you are f**ked.
I understand totally why people want to follow the "path of least resistance".
but you seriously have to ask yourself where that path leads. and it leads to mediocrity and a life of just trying to "pleasure yourself". and that, my friend , is why "laziness leads to craziness" . because you will go insane if you dont develop resilience
