fester,
as you would have realised by now, I meant equality rather than equity ! Equality is what we should have & equity is what the parasitic ruling class have us do battle with.
I have stated many times that in order for people to do well according to their merit we must have a Flat Tax. Anything else is just corrupt manipulation & navigating loopholes.

What we should have is a tax system where everyone from the largest corporation to the smallest wage earner pays their fair share of tax. We don't have that now, instead those with the means and the past political clout to avoid tax, do so at will.

Not surprising, everyone wants government services and welfare like Aged Pensions, but don't want to pay for it. Right Indy?

Hi Paul,

The fossil fuel industry paid 74 billion last year. How much did the koala clubbing grifters pay? That guy from Snowy got two million last year including a 300K bonus, whether for koalas killed, environment destroyed or small businesses bankrupted is anyone's guess.

How do the taxes Australians pay compare with prosperous nations? Can your politics of envy stand up to scrutiny?

Paul1405,
Unlike you I had to actually work & contribute to my Pension !

Hi Fester,

"Australia's tax system is a paradox: the overall tax burden is relatively low compared to similar developed nations, but it relies heavily on taxing individual wage earners. The tax system relies massively on personal income tax to fund public services. Australia taxes wages more than many peer nations, which leads many working Australians to feel highly taxed."

Developed countries with much higher tax rates than Australia include, Belgium, Finland, France, Japan, Denmark, Austria, Sweden, Spain Canada (part) Ireland and South Korea. Others with similar tax rates include Germany, NZ, Greece, Iceland, UK, Italy, Israel and the US and a few more, AND the US also adds a property tax, on top of other taxes.

Paul1405,
The countries you claim to be higher taxed than Australia are forced to compensate for the islamic invasion !
