*Get ripped off OR go to the beach......not a hard choice, is it.*

Fair enough Blue. Let them go to the beach.

Australia can remain a quarry and export our farm products
straight from the farm to the wharf.

Next they'll be screaming for jobs on OLO. No need, they
are happier on the beach.

So be it lol.

I thought you would find that amusing:) Pray tell Mr Yabby......what's the solution then, Iam all ear's?:) Its not another brand of WORKING CLASS HEROISM...is it?..........cause that's running a little thin.

BLUE

Nah Blue, no heroism. If you crunch the numbers and do the checks,
you will find that the working class have around 1.3 trillion $
in super, which is as much as the whole ASX is worth. So workers
basically own industry, banks and all the rest. If they
screw the economy into the ground, it will come out of their own
back pockets, aware of it or not.

To really understand the other side of things, Blue, you'd need to
get out there and operate a business. That might open your eyes.

Don't forget, that nearly every huge company today, started as some
embryonic, struggling small business, where the owner mortgaged the
house and took a huge risk. From Harley Davidson to John Deere to
Apple, they started in the back of somebody's garage.

What we now have in Australia, is the world's cushiest and most
inflexible labour laws, enforced by the Govt.

Those entrepreneurial types who do have a vision, will take one
look at it all and if they have any brains at all, run to Korea,
or Taiwan, or Singapore or anywhere but here, to make it happen.

I don't blame them. I would not risk the house, to meet worker
termination payments, if the market changes. So what could have
been in Australia, simply won't happen, we'll just stay a quarry.

If things get rough on jobs, just tax the workers more to pay for
it. Capital will move offshore in a jiffy, if you overtax it.

So places like WA will stay mining and exporting sheep live,
Melbourne and Sydney can keep taking in more migrants to build
more houses for yet more migrants, in their huge Ponzi scheme.

So bit it

None of you people get it.Our whole monetary system is flawed from its very base,hence it won't work.New money to equal increases in your productivity is created as debt.The more growth we have the more debt we get.

China finances 80% of its economy via Govt owned banks.They can have 12% growth while we have 3% or less.While Chinese Banks practise fractional reserve banking,their new money gets created as a tax credit and not as debt.For an education google 'The Secret of Oz' by Bill Still.You can get a free copy off the net.

I have doubts not just about our author but others here too.
A casual worker gets paid more per hour for loss of holidays and sick leave.
However a casual also, IF earning less than, forgive me not exactly sure, just over 400 a week gets no superannuation.
AND Employer Employee agreements can be done, no union involvement.
But warning, criminal acts not paying basic rights can put you in court years after.
Pay the going rates or get out of the game.

Perhaps this video might go down a bit easier for the folks, Arjay?
