My kindhearted care and empathy extends to those who get out of bed
and help themselves, or those who cannot help themselves.

I'm sick to death of spongers who say I want I want I want, because
I should be entitled.

That's right Yabby, keep peddling that tired old line that says rich people are deserving heroes and poor people are evil lazy scum. That means that by making the rich contribute more, we're being really mean to them! Oh no!

Let's Talk, its workers who are deserving heroes, its lazy scum who
expect others to work for them, as they are too lazy, who are the
problem.

I suggest that one day you get out from behind pushing your pencil
around a desk and go down a mine to see what miners really do down
there underground, covered in crap each day.

The enemy of the hard worker has never been the unemployed: it is the greedy capitalist owner who refuses to share by distributing profits, either through wages or tax.

If the likes of Reinhart and Palmer - multivillionaires- paid their proper share, there would be much more available funds for the project Tristan espouses (some of which were recognized in the latest budget ) and for the men in the mines to continue to earn well.

Your formulation of worker vs unemployed is false.

*If the likes of Reinhart and Palmer - multivillionaires- paid their proper share*

Err how to do you know that they don't pay their proper share?
Last time I checked Palmer was talking big numbers and projects,
but was not actively mining anything. Reinhart is still developing
mines.

The tax laws are there to be enforced by the tax office and if the
tax office is not doing its job, don't blame anyone but our
politicians

Meantime we do spend around 130 billion on social welfare, hardly
a pittance. If less were on the gravy train, there would be more
for those really unable to help themselves. The lazy are stealing
from the unfortunate.

For someone who is busy working and (paying exorbitant taxes) you seem to have a lot of time to post comments Yabby. Just like Clive Palmer can find time for any old crazy scheme. Corporate welfare system.
