I don't know how many of you recall old Joh for PM proposing a flat tax. Many loved the idea but as usual big business & all the hangers-on in the Public Service crapped themselves when they realized how much support there was for this system. By engaging the ignorant Media they quickly maligned Joh (as they always did & still do) to convince the vulnerable masses to leave the tax as it was. It was many years later that Johnny succeeded in forcing a marginally fairer GST past the ignoramuses. If only people enlarge would think more of Australia's future than worrying about Paris Hilton's antics or Wayne Carey's or celebrities' in general than we all could live a nicer life with some future. Presently, the light at the end of the tunnel is not an oncoming train its the glowing marks for start drilling the tunnel here.
