Lol!....

I've never understood those abbreviations - do you mean 'lots of love' ? Fair enough. Loltyt.

What has happened is the middle class have had the first tax bracket adjustment since 2008 of about 0.3% that does not even cover inflation while having their taxes increased by $1000s on health care rebates etc. Meanwhile those on less than $80 000 have had tax cuts of > $1000 p.a. and increased benefits, yet scream blue murder.

It is the plain old jealously popping up.

That Duncan Storrar is a total scumbag is the icing on the cake.

I love it when 75 percent of wage earners (those earning the median wage of around $60,000) don't receive a tax cut....SM refers to the "middle-class" - those on $80,000 or more - as if he's really referring to the "middle".

Hi Poirot,

[We're both running out posts for the day :) ]

Are you serious: " .... I love it when 75 percent of wage earners (those earning the median wage of around $60,000) don't receive a tax cut .... "

Yet you passionately claim that Duncan, Champion of the People, should get one even if he doesn't actually pay any tax ? My poor understanding is that a tax cut of 5 %, or 20 %, or 80 %, on a taxable income of $ 0 would work out to roughly, about, give or take, $ 0.

So, if people work and pay $15,000 or so in annual tax, they should get $ 0 tax cut, but a Champion of the People who doesn't lift a finger all year, skips out on paying maintenance, tries to get his son on dope, somehow is entitled to some sort of rebate on tax that he hasn't even paid ?

If you are suggesting something different, but in a very clumsy way, ...... nope, I still can't see it.

Sixty thousand these days, so it seems, is nothing amazing, lower than the median annual wage. Perhaps you could rephrase your assertion ?

Ho hum...Loudmouth,

Link to the post where I "passionately" argue that Duncan should get a tax cut?

I've said repeatedly that his question was relevant - in that why do tax cuts go to the big end of town ($50 billion to corps and the highest earners - if you don't mind).

Debt and deficit crisis nowhere to be seen - despite this govt bumping gross debt up by $160 billion dollars in under three years...

You do know that you get eight posts per day per topic in the general section....20 posts all up in the general section per day?
