“As for your suggestion that I am a Nazi”

"I did not suggest you were anything of the sort"

"...you to simply appoint yourself Reich Chancellor"

* speaks for itself really

"whining of a spoiled brat and someone who has never known real hardship (eg chardonnay swilling socialist) who should be kept well away from the offices of real power and authority."

You have no idea what my personal circumstances are - in this instance you would be better advised keeping your mouth shut.

Anyway - I doubt anyone's reading this thread now but us - and I am sick of being insulted.

I wonder what those concerned think about the recently introduced 'Sedition' laws. I'd bet on that issue I'm more 'liberal' than the lot of you combined.

Arjay “I was a bleeding heart lefty..”

Me too – typical human development,
a socialist by 18 or you don’t have a heart,
a conservative by 25 or you don’t have a brain……

Tristan “You have no idea what my personal circumstances are - in this instance you would be better advised keeping your mouth shut.”

I am still filling in time for you to respond to my following comments

“You have now missed repeated opportunities to challenge the life satisfaction versus taxation analysis which I presented.
Attacking me with side issues to deflect from your lack of analytical substance?”

and

“Again you continue to ignore the negative impact of taxation on life satisfaction and the last time I looked, we were here to experience a satisfying life, not to be drones to generate taxes…..”

So run away, I said previously, “You being someone, who admits you do not have sufficient faith in your ideas or ideals as to wish to test them at an election,“

Your last post confirms the lack of character you possess if you think that floating ideas and playing the “faux-compassion card” is all you need to qualify for political leadership.

As for keeping my “mouth shut”.
Who on earth are you to suggest I should be censored?

What right have you to expect to float airey-fairy nonsense in an article which anyone of us is entitled to shoot down in flames?

As for being sick of being insulted, I hear a thousand sub-human socialists calling John Howard all the things under the sun. I guess some folk like to “give it out” but lack the moral fortitude to “take it”.

So finally, may you go with these repeated words resounding in your ears

“Yes, well Tristan, if you want to test anything, I suggest you consider this, me and millions of other Australians have not given our permission for you to experiment with our national economy whilst treating us with the reverence a scientist holds for a lab rat."

It’s a mystery, but I agree with Tristan as well as G T, Arjay, Col Rouge and Mr. Yabby.

G T wondered “how it is more ethical to force one person to give up their earned wealth to others than to not?”
I totally agree. Why should 80% of taxpayers be subsidising property and share investors in their tax write-offs (on interest payments)? If one borrows money, why would one ask someone else to pick up the tab? Is that responsible? Also, what is the 30% rebate for private health cover other than welfare for the rich? Why have we allowed the destruction of the public health system?

Arjay said “Basically people must learn to help themselves and we should only be giving a hand up when necessary, rather than hand outs at the whim of socialists do gooders.”
Couldn’t agree more Arjay, the sooner we get rid of negative gearing the better (cost to taxpayer last year estimated at $12B in claims for rental properties).

Col Rouge rightly declares “governments squandering resources on pointless or negative returning indulgences has been proved to diminish the wealth of the nation.”
Here, Here Col! Just how much longer does the average taxpayer have to subsidise the wealthiest members of society through negative gearing, family trusts and other rorts determined and sanctioned by the Board of Taxation?

Mr. Yabby, like myself, knows “plenty of welfare recipients who own their own homes”.
In fact, the average welfare recipient of the negative gearing scheme now owns 3 rental properties. Year in, year out 80% of taxpayers donate their hard earned taxes to the property investors through the tax system – enough is enough. Let’s scrap negative gearing and the Board of Taxation.

Tristan, with the help of the high calibre thinkers like G T, Arjay, Col and Mr. Yabby some light will be shed on the politics of division presently sweeping the world.

Mr. Agreeable

Thanks, Mr Agreeable, for your post. I couldn't agree more. :-) Unfortunately I don't think there's many people reading this now, and while the Conservatives has slashed Disability and single parent pensions, I doubt they'll be doing anything about 'welfare for the rich' any time soon.

Tristan

My final submission; Mr. Agreeable, if you submit to the E T Gospel, Physics will devour you. If you submit to Darwinian evolution, then by your own admission, you are extinct.
So unless there is something else you need to say in defence of the indefensible, then by the laws of Physics / Mathematics, the decrement of demonic Ideology shall on its own, implode. So on that note Good By, And good luck.

Very clever post Mr Agreeable.

Tristan just because people aren't posting doesn't mean they aren't reading. For myself I was interested in the points you raised. Please keep up the excellent work. Have to admit I have been time short lately and have wished to post to this thread. Will endeavour to do so on similar in future.

Cheers
