Sack Bowen, ditch the net zero lunacy, cut immigration by trolley pushers, uber drivers and food delivery "students", cut government spending and income tax for workers, scrap all exemptions from the GST. For starters. well said frank  Nah, you are all low tax, personal responsibility losers. The happiest peple in the world live under high-tax regimes. https://www.financialexpress.com/policy/economy-those-who-pay-higher-tax-are-hap...World Happiness Report 2018: Those who pay higher tax are happier! Don’t believe us, here’s the proof Eminent social-scientist Benjamin Radcliff has drawn a parallel between happiness and tax rates, saying that “higher levels of taxation suggest higher levels of satisfaction with life”, and hence more happiness. And there are other social scientists too who contend the same.16 Mar 2018Meanwhile, heterodox economists are offering a zero tax (which you crave for), zero interest rate, zero inflation, full employment economy, but you need to do your own research on that topic. That is as stupid as you are, parrot. Er...in a choice beteween Rafcliffe and you...no contest. And a choice between orthodox Neoclassical/Friedmanite economists, and heterodox economists who know poverty is a political choice - again no contest. If you have quoted radcliffe accurately and fully - "higher levels of taxation suggest higher levels of satisfaction with life” - then he is as ignorant and stupid as you are. "Ignorant and stupid, even though he is a tertiary-level researcher examing all the relevant statistics? Quote:High taxation in itself is poison. If you look at history, for the last 60 or 2000 years, high taxation without consent has invariably led to revolt. And consent is by individuals forming a polity.
Individuals will consent only if they consent to the way the tax is spent. And they will do this if they trust each other and their elected government. And trust comes from cohesion and solidarity. Correct: and Radcliffe examined tax levels and happiness in the consenting Skandy countries who didn't folow Thatcher's disastrous low-tax ideology. Quote:Multiculti diversity destroys that solidarity. Governments driven by ideology not endorsed by the electorate also destroy trust and solidarity.[/quotte]
The Skandy countries were highly homogeneous before the refugees crises of the last 2-3 decades.
[quote]It would be an interesting project to investigate the nationality of account holders in the Bahamas, Caymans, and other tax heavens. I would hazard a guess to say that people from unfairly high taxing countries are the bulk. No; highly-paid people in poor countries as well as rich countries are all driven by the same self-interest.
