individual,

You should Google some of the outrageous salaries
of our politicians. They're available on the web.
Then you'll really get a shock. And that doesn't
include all the perks such as air-travel, offices,
staff, limos, et cetera. I think if their salaries
were made more equitable to that of their voters -
we'd possibly have no need for tax cuts. Think of the
savings.

runner,

There's a joke that describes a bloke who didn't
believe in re-incarnation. Well the Creator decided
to teach him a lesson. When this man died - he came
back as a blade of grass - swaying peacefully in a
field. Along came a cow and ate him. Before he knew it
he plopped out as a rich steaming pile in the same
field. Along came a farmer (who knew the bloke
previously). " Hi Colin, Gee, you haven't changed
one bit!" said the farmer.

You'd better be careful - about what you claim not to
believe in. There is such a thing as - Karma!

cont'd ...

I forgot to add - we should also watch how
we behave in our lives - because that will
determine what we'll come back as - just like
the bloke in the joke found out. (smile).
The joke was on him.

Yuyutsu,

I think you are beautifully innocent charmingly naive...you keep it up now!

Foxy,
I check on the salaries of politicians & public servants every now & then. I can't fathom how some public servants can earn $200,000 + on top of the PM's salary.
The Tax Commissioner, the head of Border Force are on $770-740,000 respectively. Centrelink is another appallingly immoral outfit with lierally hundres of high salary bureaudroids.
Government is morphing into an uncontrollable salary guzzler. ALP/LNP no matter who is in.
Try & owe the Tax department $20 & see how many hundres of thousands are spend on chasing you around. I'm convinced that in other countries they'd be done away with.

individual,

I don't like to think about it.

To me it simply seems like there's so much
money being wasted that could be put to better
use. I think we need a shake-up.
