It is reported today that Big Business is pushing for company tax to be halved and GST increased by an "unspecified" amount!

This sort of reasoning in these very economically "delicate" times is to say the least very inflammatory. There must be many many people who are poised on the brink financially, and with all the projected Budgetary impost about to be levied against each and every one of us in the immediate future, one could be forgiven for wondering if this is a deliberate greed inspired conspiracy to create civil unrest throughout the community.

The people who lobby government to achieve financial benefit at the expense of the poorer groups across the community should be aware that to continue pushing the underprivelaged closer to the edge can and possibly will push this country towards the inevitable breakdown of our society!

We are currently going through some very dangerous times both financially and politically and the utmost caution should be exercised by all groups in an effort to minimise the effects of the financial downturn!.....This is the wrong time to be advocating changes to a very delicately balanced economy!

the real issues are complicated..[what investment..will these new investors invest in..if there are any proffits to be made then that means they are sucking cash/proffits out in the end..or else end up owning yet more aussie assets

[its more like a subsidy/tax break for the all-ways-ready rich...because the poor dont earn enough to bank..a circular reasoning process..for them furinours to come loot and plunder the assets of the poor even more]

how im seeing it..is corperations have subverted the rights of the people..[its time we all had.. FAIR EQUALITY..lets just dump the corperate tax rate..all together..and treat all income at the same tax scale..be they homegrown rich..[or overseas bornm rich..[it its earned here you pay tax here]no egsemptions

and while were at it..either give the people limited liability..like the corperatess have..[or remove the limited liabilities off the dead corperations]...lets face it..there are living faces..[greedy faces behind every limeted incorperation..]let them near the same liability as us living

[time to tax all of us..at the same scale,..be they living people or dead incorperation's..[multinational/zombies sucking the life out of the living]...if investment is needed..issue shares..[and let our compulsory/supper..''contributions''..or aussie investors..pay for it]

and while were at it lets make it so NO ONE gets gst egsemption...[if you buy it you pay it..[no egsemptions..[and no increase of the rate]...yes those who claim it back in tax..or simply get egsemptions..love it..

.but the poor who dont earn enough..to put in a tax refund form..get stuck with this compulsory tax..[just like its the poor fool low-income;..mugs who will wear the carbon taX..[while not getting any of its credit]..

its all about taxing the poor into early graves..[us subsidising them]..and them..getting first class/health/super/travel services..while we mugs.. pay ever more..pay for their over generouse benifits

Crackup.I was thinking the very same this morning.They want to transfer their tax liability to the consumer.Isn't that nice of them?The big corporates created this debacle in and now want us to pay again.How much poverty do they want?

Large Corps can esaily pass on the GST but small business with small margins absorbs some of it.Their argument is that to attract capital they need to pay less tax.Well if we have a National Monetary Fund as I've suggested,we don't need to borrow from foreign banks who just create money from nothing anyway.

We would not then have a private debt of $650 billion nor Kevin's debt soon to be $300 billion.We can finance our own future without their inflation or debt slavery.It can be done but the banking lobby has a strangle hold on our Govts.It is time to become aware and demand change.Kevin jumps up and down feigning outrage at the CBA's increase in interest rates but Kevin is just their puppet.

You really have to wonder about the moral health of some of these business people to think that it is okay to plump up the wealth of CEOs and major shareholders at the expense of ordinary people.

I bet they used the mythical job creation argument while they continue to offshore jobs overseas - and they will keep doing it regardless of any cuts to company taxes. You can bet there won't be any increase in wages to facilitiate these higher taxes for consumers.

Pathetic but predictable.

"It is time to become aware and demand change.Kevin jumps up and down feigning outrage at the CBA's increase in interest rates but Kevin is just their puppet." very true indeed.

We should stop the practice of allowing big corporations fund political parties. Should even go further, make serious white-collar crime a capital offence. Commercial crooks like B. Madoff should be executed like in China.
