better just to execute the lot, that would be "fiscally rational", wouldn't it
G'day Bruce,
Funny you say that because our Labor cronie boss would just jump at that proposal notwithstanding being a bleedin' churchie. He's already put working people out in the cold with no qualms to cover up his incompetence.

G'day Bruce,, this is why we need a tax on spending, not a tax on earnings, as a tax on spending, )financial transactions) is avoidable by no one and, at just 2%, it's affordable to everyone, perhaps with the exception of those who don't work, but, the sheer increase in cash injection into the economy will see plenty of jobs for those who want work, but can't find it.

As for those who just don't want to work, tough!

Here is an opinion by Jeff Rubin one of the few economists who are
aware of our fuel problems.

The IMF has suggested a rise in fuel taxes.
Geff Rubin's book or some of his writings on the intenet are interesting.
