I wish there would be more consideration for what is good for people rather than what is "good for the economy".
Yuyutsu,
Totally agree ! However, this is only possible if local economy is prioritised !

Classifying people as makers and takers is a false dichotomy, as most people are both at different stages of their lives.
Aidan,
I can't argue with that analogy however, I always have generality in mind when talking about society.
Most people try to plan for the day when they may be forced to become takers but many callously exploit the benefits designed for the needy.
My thinking is that, loopholes should be closed asap so the temptation to exploit them is not there in the first place. Centrelink has let genuine Australian needy down badly by its inflexibility & literally rewarded the exploiters.
The whole of society is too greedy ! Presently, it's landlords & Local, State & Fed Govts heading the list. Legislations, permits, registrations etc costs are getting more people into trouble than personal misfortune.
We need more people in Bureaucracy from working backgrounds than from just being there & climbing the ranks ! People should not be allowed to become Public service bureaucrats unless they can prove several years of hands-on experience in business or trade etc.
Nations would fare better then !

I stopped reading at "and never will join a political party." That marks the writer as a fundamentalist - and I don't care for people who are so closed minded.

To stop the inequality we need to have a Flat Tax for Wage & Salary earners & a Flat Tax for business. No more writing off lunches & luxury commodities etc. Family trusts need to made accountable for losses to employees.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander !

This is the difference between the left and right. The left considers it's a privilege to allow entrepreneurs or specialists to hold onto any of their money and to become wealthy is criminal.

The conservatives consider that the money people make is primarily theirs of which they will take as little as possible.
