direct from my book to your RECTUM mate

1. Before describing the fever that swept over the
land in the mid 1980s, it is worth delving back to the 1950s
to explain that since the mid 1990s when Centrelink was
"morphed" from the Department of Social Security [DSS],
we have at least partially reverted back to the 1950s. I am
referring to the fact that the taxation system had always
had an incentive to "go forth and propagate" and this was
termed "single/married man tax" back in the old days. Yes
folks, things were a lot simpler back then with men working
and mum in the kitchen. In simple terms a married man on
the same wage as a single man brought "home" more
money than that single man.

2. But there was trouble in paradise even back
then with Greer still in nappies. At that time the pubs
closed at 6PM so dad was said to charge out of the
workplace at 5PM and head straight for the pub to engage in
what was termed "the 6 o'clock swill". Of course some
actually did that, but who's counting? It was enough for
public hysteria to fabricate what in effect was the married
version of the "deadbeat dad". So the gummt did as
gummts are inclined to do at election times and took the
extra money away from dad and gave it directly to mum
[and the kiddies as long as mum was not a pokie or bingo
addict] as "family endowment" [and many other terms over
the years].

3. So for several decades DSS did in effect provide
"social security" or, to put it another way, it didn't involve
itself with tax as such. And of course the hands out steadily
increased over the years with the main revolution being the
introduction of a pension for single mothers, who formerly
were told by family and gummt "do not blacken our door"

If you want to see real under achievers just look at the NSW Govt.

The real world works this way.Private enterprise in the form of small business provides the goods and basic services,the lawyers,insurances companies form a symbotic relationship whereby the legal system creates the need for insurances and the legal parisites feed off it.For those who don't have the ability to be a lawyer,they get an arts degree and join the PS like CJ Morgan.You then have a PS union to back you.You cannot be sacked,nor can you be made accountable for any stuff ups.In fact you get premoted for stuff ups.Reber Maher retires in her mid thirties on $130,000.00 pa indexed for the rest of her life at the expense of the tax payer for stuffing up her port folio.

With Globalisation comes competition in wages.So in Aust blue collar workers have had a reduction in living standards in order to keep wages lower and businesses here.To counter act these poor wages our Govt have taken money from the middle class and the taxes from the resources boom to subsidise them.Notice that no reduction in PS wages has happened.In fact they are having increases when the private system is going backwards.

It is now better to be a brain dead bureaucrat than work in a productive private enterprise small business.We are going the way of the US.We cannot build essential infrastructure,have enormous debt and are made impotent by our legal systems.China and India will have it all.

Only the premise contained in the first sentence was from the Weekend Australian, rechtub.

Considering the unemployment rate is supposed to be less than 5%, presumably due to your eminently productive self, your attack on dole-bludgers and wanting "better value for your tax dollars"is pure TT or ACA.
