LOL kartiya jim,

The problem with that is that after a smart person has done something stupid he or she generally does not have the wherewithal to pay any additional taxes.

Ok ,Let's let's give them a boost and bring their income up to the average weekly wage; and then perhaps we might need to bring in a smart person to manage a large chunk of their new income to make sure their smart offspring weren't disadvantaged down the track by their parents lack of abilities.

I am sure even your stupid people would like that .

We might reflect on the fact that smart people's extra money doesn't seem to make them particularly happy .

At present Australians are more stressed than ever.

Are many of us getting more "stupid" ?

I suspect so .
