Well this is it, everybody is scrapping about people rather then
policies which will benefit the country. Bitching away, like a
bunch of schoolgirls :)

Politicians focussing on what might buy them a few votes to take
them over the line, rather then what is best for the country.
For their own careers clearly matter more then anything. Get real
kids, these are simply a bunch of lawyers, scrapping about their
huge egos.

We need to get back to focussing on policies which matter, not
schoolgirl bitching.

Let's get real here. If Labor had proposed taxing large companies
an extra 1.5% to give it away, Hasbeen, SM and others would be
complaining about the evil left. Some of you are simply so tribal,
that you have lost the ability to think about things a bit more objectively.
Personally I'll keep focussing on policies that matter.

When Julie Bishop proposed her languages for schoolkids programme,
wether they want it or not, some of us made it clear to her why
it was stupid policy and why it would not work. Next thing it's
official liberal policy. It seems that both liberal and labor
should be consulting with us average people a bit more, before
they come up with another bright idea that is doomed to failure.

Hasbeen done that!just under didyabringyagrogalong.
And under Belly's hide away.
Put fools Paradise up!
Yabby never agreed with the cut in super or carbon tax.
Super was to be paid in part by less tax,
And face it,we got to 9% by workers taking wage cuts as super contributions.
I think we need more not less,and that right now every wage increase should see a third go to superannuation.
Why?
Welfare,we should never take it away from needy,but we must and soon face up to real reform.
Corruption from those paid to police and those excepting welfare is a crime against us all.
We could do better for the true needy if we fixed it.
Superannuation one day will and should,be what we live on in retirement.
A day will come that we no longer have to borrow over seas as super funds grow

*And face it,we got to 9% by workers taking wage cuts as super contributions.*

Oh come on Belly, get real. We have some of the world's highest
wages. German workers have gone backwards for 15 years, so have
Americans. Australian workers are 20% better off. Don't give
me bullcrap :)

Fact is your carbon tax is clobbering dairy farmers and milk
processors, about 5-6 Grand per farm and you say nothing. If it
was costing workers that, you would be jumping from the roof in
protest.

Fact is that ever more super and a carbon tax are clobbering the
most productive sectors of our economy, who have to compete globally.

Next you will be calling for innovation as the solution. Get off their
frigging backs with your ever increasing charges. They have to
live in the real global world, unlike some of you.

All this gloom and doom and "end-of-civilisation-as-we-know-it talk" seems to have overlooked another tax.

How about a tax that, from the day it was introduced, not only affected future income but also retrospectively reduced the value of everybody's existing tax-already-paid savings (including super) by 10%?

People have now accepted the GST but baulk at everything else.

Everybody wants something but nobody wants to pay for it.
