Dunart, so not making sense of what you are after. Is your business responsible for the deficit? What are your problems in your small business that you are facing? Some of it may well be IR laws, some of it may be taxes, but what is the gripe and lowdown about the areas that need fixing? I can see a lot of problems with running a business, and some internal, some external. But what are they? i don't have the answers, only the questions.

I don’t have a problem, bar that of trying to have a discussion and never having my answers answered.

My business in not responsible for the trade deficit.
The over sending in the Australian community is responsible.
You are arguing for more “over spending”, more wealth allocated by govt regulation to the poor and infirm.
That’s great, but for the last 50 years that policy has actually delivered a greater % of the nation’s wealth to the rich.
The only reason we have a shortage of jobs, is because of govt regulations that ship them off shore.
The GST is not a problem, bar the fact that it’s in the CPI, meaning the labour market got a pay rise to pay the GST. It’s a fact and discriminatory to the fixed income people that are the poorer section of the community.

Do you want to continue that? (Create a greater wealth gap)
When is the on-shore “boom” going to happen, and why?
Have you been to the ex-Marxists countries where the largest gap exists?
Should we continue to rack up debt, creating an interest bill for our children, and a repayment debt for our grand children?

4 questions, how many can/will you answer?

You are obviously are just having a big tanti here Dunart. I can't answer your questions Dunart because a)you are all over the place like a mad woman's breakfast and b)am so not interested after your last posting. Wish you all the very best in your enterprise however.

I fail to see the correlation between our national debt and the amount Australia pays for welfare services. The amount the Government intends to save on cutting benefits to the most needy in our society, I doubt, will put a dent in this national debt. From a purely economic viewpoint (as empathy and compassion appear to be meaningless to some)- how do you save money by cutting benefits to the disabled ? If one is truly disabled, giving one the option of finding work or getting cut off benefits - is not a choice. They will simply be cut off all income support. Then our society will have to pay for more security to stop homeless people who are currently at least eating - from stealing. We will have to build more prisons. Where is the saving in that ? We should not be aiming at a society where we have homeless people around mega shopping centres, like the USA and parts of Asia (etc) - which is what will happen if this country cannot or will not properly support those who cannot support themselves. There will always be in our society, those who, for whatever reason, need support either always or on occassion and who be never be able to give it back. Either we admit this as a fact - or we ask our government to be honest and just execute all those who need welfare and who cannot work and 'contribute to society' - rather than support such people less and less, thus wearing them down by more and more poverty. In the end, an early execution would be quicker, cheaper and less painful.
