....you have to continually write losses off
SteeleRedux,
No-one said it should be done so but too many do. As a matter of fact, many plan to run at a loss deliberately because of NG.
I know many such 'self-funded' retirees who salary sacrificed & wrote off anything that could be under this insidious Tax system. In effect they paid sfa Tax in comparison to the average blue collar wage earner.
I just hope that this virus situation is eventually bringing us closer towards a flat Tax & also brings some sanity re profiteering !

.... he attacks other Australians who receive welfare benefits like Newstart,
Paul1405,
I said no such thing ! Stop fabricating sentences ! I have said on occasions that there are too many who don't deserve equal payments because they plainly do not actually want to work !
Even you say that in your opinion old age pensioners should not get Welfare & I agree & we actually don't. We get a Pension which we contributed to all our working live, on top of which we paid taxes which over the years amount to more than what self-funded retirees contribute.
Also, there are hardly any self-funded blue collar wage earners, only salary earners can afford to put aside the extra which is beefed up by Govt contribution !
As I said, you're more than likely the Welfare jockey, not us !

Dear mhaze,

I asked “Do we really have to go over this again?” because you were flogged on this previously and now you are back for more. Further I find your predilection for S&M a little disturbing.

Note how in my post I actually in part quoted directly from the person. You have not. Give me a direct quote from Warren saying “sorry that she identified herself as a Native American for almost two decades”.

As for taxes you said quite plainly “A portion of taxes was never set aside by governments of any colour to cover your retirement.” unless of course if you were a public servant or in the defense forces where they clearly were.

See mate these blanket statements of yours are idiotic. Please try and do better.

In a humanitarian act of kindness, China has donated 1,000 ventilators to the city of New York.

Paul1405,

Yes, and in each one is a little note from the Chinese people that reads: "Please forgive us for giving you the Wuhan flu."

Hi Mr O, that note might read "Remember the Rape of Nanking, we forgive you". In 1937 over 250,000 Chinese men, women and children were butchered by the Japanese in the city of Nanking. Chinese pleas for help from western countries fell on deaf ears. Anyway me thinks the Yanks are making that Chinese virus all their own.

The Donald stuffs up again! With much fanfare and dozens of Yankee flags fronting the great hospital ship USNS Comfort The Donald was beside himself as to this fantastic help he was sending to New York. The 1,000 bed ship was to take non cornavirus cases out of NY hospitals, freeing up bed space needed for virus victims. Sounded a good idea at the time, and The Donald was congratulating himself on a job well done. The reality is the ship has been next to useless with the Navy allowing only 20 patents on board, due to it imposing 49 regulation as to whom it will take. What as Commander In Chief of the Navy, The Donald, do about this appalling situation, order the Navy to act, no, The Donald does NOTHING!
