So here we are 12 months after the big Rudd coup and Access Economics is indicating that the Treasury coffers are already 1 Billion Dollars in the red!.....Guess what comes next folks?.....an increase in the GST rate to probably around 20%!..( the tax that everyone pays fairly, unless of course you are in a business and can claim back a large chunk of the GST!)

I am therefore going to make a statement that will most likely upset a lot of people throughout the community:.....

Why for God`s sake do the taxpayers of this country have to pay to encourage people to breed, purely for the sake of increasing the population statistics!....this is purely economic and financial prostitution, resulting in "mongrolization" of the resulting generations!

Why do the taxpayers and business have to subsidize selfish potential parents who choose to procreate to suit their own personal desires!...Whatever happened to personal responsibility?

Why do the taxpayers have to pay to subsidize some upper and mainly middle income-stream Superannuants with a Health Care Card and it`s associated benefits, when these same people can afford to be in a Private Health Fund?

Why do we, the taxpayers of this country have to fund every down and out across the planet, who put out a hand for financial assistance, and whose Governments are racked with corruption and are squandering away their countries tax-monies ( or Foreign Aid donations) whilst living like kings themselves?

Why do we, the citizens of this country have to be "conned" into believing that we have to share this country with every bleeding-heart that wants a more lucrative lifestyle, or are unlucky enough to be born in an underdeveloped country?

This is our country and we do NOT want to share it with everyone else!

Mongrelisation indeed Cuphandle!

The krappiest kruddiest policies anywhere in the world –

1. Boosting the bribe for mothers to have more kids, when the LAST thing we need is an increase in our national fertility rate. As if the absurd baby bonus wasn’t absurd enough under Howard.

2. Boosting immigration, which is the other LAST thing in the world that Australia needs. As if the rate of immigration wasn’t already absurdly high under Howard.

Wow, one year of krud. And I imagine at least another five to go. Hwaaaw!

We are now seeing the results of unchecked and sponsored breeding.
I've no doubt that the lower socioeconomic demographic are out-populating the more affluent sector.
More and more students are presenting to Kindergartens from impoverished and dysfunctional families.
Their 17 year old mothers are out looking for the next father of a new sibling that Grandma is currently raising.
Having left school in Year 9 they have negative memories and even more negative attitudes towards education.
Their kids are unsocialised , emotionally and more often than not intellectually ill equipped to cope with even the most basic educational structure.
Increasing rates of ADD, ADHD and ED (emotionally disturbed)students allied to a rapidly increasing incidence of Autism right across the spectrum are seeing Kinder classrooms becoming the failed laboratories of ill considered social engineering and experimentation.
Ask an Infants teacher...are things getting worse?
Put an hour aside for the depressing reply.

I gotta admit, having just had a child, and filled out my last tax return, I am astounded at how much money the government has thrown my way. It's just out of all proportion. I mean, why isn't it means tested? Even the stuff that is, they could easily half the threshold, as I relly don't *need* this money. I'd rather they just tax us less.

I'm middle class and planned and saved for the birth of the baby for my partner to stay home for a year, but after this windfall, I needn't have bothered. Maybe that's the point. The aim seems to be that DINKS should be able to not sacrifice their lifestyle in any way once they have kids. Expensive ideology.

Some of us, who have seen the folly of socialism and the socialist economic profligacy before, voted against these fools

It might seem unkind of me to say

“I TOLD YOU SO”

But I did

Tell you so!

We will be end up as a “Banana Republic” (as Keating put it, and he should know), unless we resolve to fix the problem at the next Commonwealth election.

cuphandle [quote..>>So here we are 12 months after the big Rudd coup and Access Economics is indicating that the Treasury coffers are already 1 Billion Dollars in the red!...<<

given the mention [tone] [rudd coup]
and the adverse [of the mention]
not being verfied by a fact link

i need to react

i have heard turn bull [into liberal spin]
state
its the liberals who built the surplus
when clearly it is all of us who are paying their tax

but hey who really built it
not the leeches with their nose in the public trough

[and im not laying all
at the feet of those accepting govt handout]

by far the biggest recipiant of govt money is those recieving the bailout's[from the auto industry to the bankers

from the drug merchants [raking in over i bill a year [just for blood presure medication alone] from the govt subsidy machine
#
i wont get into how the telicomunications
[power , water , and banking systems

built up by our rates and fees and taxes
that was sold [given] to big buisness either

>>..Guess what comes next folks?.....an increase in the GST rate to probably around 20%!..<<

half right
you forget the NEW carbon tax

but look its about the fact we will pay
not they
[they = big buisness/bankers public servants , judges , councils etc

..<<(the tax that everyone pays fairly, unless of course you are in a business and can claim back a large chunk of the GST!)..<<

yeah i agree on the problem

i just disagree with who cops the blame

the GOVT grants to private educators runs at 12 billion

im sure pregnant children govt is bribing to create more children arnt costing that much

they arnt the REAL problem
gst isnt the real rippoff

,its govts thinking they earned it from us for service?[sir-vice?]
and it thinking it has the right to give it out

to their favourite electoral sponcer
