I keep thinking of a criticsm by the PM recently of a trial by the Qld Govt for some disability work. The PM's complaint was that there were no new resouces in the trial, rather a shuffle of funding. Some don't seem to get that there are rarly new resources, just more money taken from those who work for it and used inefficiently by government.

Governments rarely actually get the big end of town to pay up, the genuinely rich can afford to chase the loopholes and afford the accountatnts and lawers to work out how to do it (or if there is little competition just put up prices). Instead the bill keeps landing in the laps of "working families" and others who need their income and are not an endless stream of income to be tapped by government.
