Well you won't stop the Carr Govt hunger for taxation.NSW is in serious trouble.Since 2000 the bill for salaries of the public service has increased by $6 billion pa.A 50% increase.For each of the people in private enterprise,this represents an increase in their annual tax bill of $2200.oo per working person.Add all the other waste and incompetancies to this and NSW will languish in low growth as some business are experiencing now.

To pay for all the salaries of the NSW PS,private enterprise must find almost $7,000.oo in tax per working person.To keep this state afloat we have to double this to $14,000.oo per working person.Then we have to fund the Federal Govt,the Councils and all their excesses.

It is time to slowly rid ourselves of a layer of Govt, since many will soon decide that working hard is just not worth it.We will then reach the point of the drone mentality,whereby, nothing really matters,it will be too late.
